The Weather Vane by Gedalia Gershon is an adventure fantasy novel where a group of characters is trying to make sense of their purpose in the afterlife. The story follows a man called Prisoner who has no idea where he is. He woke up on a ship that is home to some very colorful characters. Apparently he is one of the Ascendants who come to the Port of Higher Calls. From there they hop onto the ferry and are taken to where they are needed. The issue is Prisoner doesn’t know why he ascended and what his next purpose is. Things aren’t making sense, he doesn’t know what his purpose is and things aren’t really going in favor of this group of people. Suddenly, things take a chaotic turn when the ferry is shipwrecked and they are lost. Now not only Prisoner has to try to remember what his purpose is in the afterlife, but he also has to work with this strange group of people to get out of trouble in this magical land.

The Weather Vane by Gedalia Gershon is an exciting story, one that will confuse you a little in the beginning but as the story progresses, you will fall into it headfirst. I think the author has done an incredible job of expressing the protagonist’s emotions really well. You will feel confused when Prisoner does, you will feel happy when he does, and you will feel encouraged when he does. The concept is original; it is interesting and very well executed. Each character is fleshed out and detailed, which makes the story rich and deep. I enjoyed the dialogues (and how unique they were to each character) and how every character had a purpose to fulfill. This is a really interesting story that I enjoyed immensely.

The Weather Vane is a fun fantasy adventure that blends a wildly different group of characters, all with hilarious, tongue-in-cheek names and a narrative that is as creative as it is entertaining. I admit I was initially put off by the writing, which is choppy and often has uncomfortable syntax and dialogue tags, but the story is unique and lively enough to push a reader past this. The captain and the bosun are hilarious, and I really liked Rosalie. There is a crossover between historical times and themes with modern themes and of course, with the science fiction aspects, the future. Overall, this is a book that readers who enjoy the genre will get a kick out of, with Gedalia Gershon leading the charge of wit and humor.
