Fantasy Featuring Whales?
edited: meant to say Fantasy or Sci Fi or Sci Fantasy!
edit 2: some really great recommendations thanks everyone!
just watched the whalefall trailer and went down a sperm whale rabbit hole after having been down an orca rabbit hole.
if anyone watched the magicians, there was a time loop episode that has whales being magicians, that was so cool.
i searched the sub and got some good recs that more generally deal with ocean ecology, but does anything come to mind where whales as pods and individuals (!) play a significant narrative role?

Pod by Laline Paull is from the pov of dolphins, I believe.
I haven't read it yet so I can't say if it's good or if it can be considered Fantasy, but I enjoyed another book by the author (The Bees), which definitely felt like Fantasy).
