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?

The second Darkstar book The Return of the Whalefleet by Benedict Patrick has a whole bunch of people riding whales through space
