Guys! There are whale wizards and wizards becoming whales!
This was a really wild section, and I am once again taken aback by Diane Duane's incredible imagination. I love that there's still so many ways to surprise me.
In this section, our lovely friends transform into whales, via two different methods. Kit uses something called a whalesark which holds the memories of a previous whale who died, while Nita uses her magic and taps into her inner...whale? They travel all day, although it doesn't seem nearly that long to them while they're in whale form, and visit an ancient whale living near Sandy Hook to commit to singing their parts in the upcoming spell.
I really enjoy all of the wild magic in these books. Thank you so much to Devin for commissioning this!
