The Color of Clouds eBook JC Whyte Reviews
When we talk about the color of clouds, we're usually talking in grayscale, with the darker the cloud, the worse the storm. Unless of course, the sky 'goes green', and then it's a different kind of storm entirely.
In The Color of Clouds by J.C. Whyte, there's a whole rainbow of cloud colors going on and each one means a different thing. But clouds don't only exist in the sky.
Despite the book beginning with narration by the angel agent Pedro (I don't know if he was an 'angel', but it sounds nicer than dead guy), talking about a recently deceased young man, I soon got the idea (however wrongly) that Paul and Deanna were the 'main' characters.
But this was definitely ensemble casting and each character had their part to contribute to the story. Each had their own pieces to the story puzzle that only they could contribute. And while normally I identify more strongly with one characters than the others, in Clouds I hopped back and forth. It was a novel (ok, small pun intended) and fun experience.
Clouds strays a little more into the paranormal than the presence of a dead spirit or two and a psychic may indicate. I can't tell too much without giving too much away, if that makes sense. People believe in ghosts and other 'other than natural' phenomena or they don't. I appreciate Whyte's use of sceptics in the story and the fact that it wasn't like a world where everybody believed, or that only one person did and they had to protect their loved ones.
I, for one, cannot wait to see what Whyte comes up with next!
(Disclosure I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest and unbiased review)
Pedro is a spirit guide, wandering around the space that comes after life and before moving on. He stays in-between in order to help the living receive messages from those who have passed. Pedro is able to pass messages through a psychic, Gwen. Something big is brewing in the spirit world, though and Pedro must break some rules in order to help a lot of people. On the Viking Maiden cruise ship, Gwen and her sister Jo have boarded to help other passenger with Pedro’s guidance; two elderly friends, Sylvie and Ernst are old friends meeting for their annual trip; and Paul and his wife Deanna who are finally getting over a tragedy. Expecting a relaxing cruise, a nuclear explosion in the middle of the ocean places Sylvie and Ernst into a strange coma where they are sent into the spirit world with Pedro. Paul is accused of murdering a housekeeping staff and with a tsunami on the way; Gwen and Pedro just want everyone back to where they are supposed to be. Brought together by Pedro, all of these passengers are in for one exciting cruise.
This book had a lot going on; paranormal forces, nuclear explosion, a murder mystery and a natural disaster all play a part. While I didn’t think all of this was quite necessary, it kept the story moving. The characters are what kept me reading, though. I was most amazed by Ernst and Sylvie’s relationship and personalities. They seemed very real to me and their humor was infectious. Even though they were out of their bodies for most of the story, Ernst and Sylvie managed to have the best development, conversations and definitely the most fun. I did like the combination of paranormal and science fiction for the explanation of the in-between, the dark matter and I wish that aspect was explored a little more. The last quarter of the book really picked up pace as the many elements came together for a dramatic ending.

Review first posted at Girl Who Reads. A free copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.
When a cruise ship encounters dark matter in the middle of the ocean, it touches off a cascade of events. Two passengers are sent out of their bodies on a trip with a psychic's spirit guide. Another passenger, getting over a tragedy, is accused of murder. A tsunami is on its way toward the ship. All of these stories weave together over the course of the novel.
The Color of Clouds begins very slowly, dragging out the introductions of the main characters. It's told from the spirit guide's point of view in what's meant to be a conversational style, but I found it more off-putting than charming or friendly. It didn't fit well with relating characters' backstories; as much as Pedro is a spirit guide, he really shouldn't be able to know the life histories of the characters. It's fine to relate the details of the world he inhabits, as it's different from the ones readers will know about, but it doesn't work for character biographies. The storytelling style is less annoying as more of the plot unfolds, at least.
The clouds of the title could easily refer to the thought bubbles that Sylvie and Ernst see while they're in their out of body experience; it's explained outright that the "spirit world" is simply the faster, sped up world of thoughts and emotions unhindered by a physical body, and different emotions carry colors. The spirit world is described more like the dark matter of astrophysics, which is helpfully explained by the skeptic scientist prior to the rift opening and separating minds and bodies, and then in more detail afterward. Here, it makes far more sense for the language to be conversational and a bit choppy in spots because Paul is telling the other characters about the research he does.
Overall, there seems to be almost too much plot for the entire book, but it does suck you in and is a fairly solid story.
An interesting story of paranormal adventure where a cruise ship encounters a strange phenomenon. The characters are both interesting and fun, and the story offers provocative ideas that even a die-hard scientist like myself can enjoy. With the discovery of dark matter, the universe may truly be more than we know!
