Being “Othered” is Real
Format: Kindle
Sky Full of Elephants opens with a haunting and unforgettable image: all the white people walking silently into bodies of water. That beginning alone tells you this is not a book that will play it safe. It is bold, layered, and deeply intentional.
The writing is beautiful and the story forces readers to confront what Black history truly is: American history. The novel doesn’t just imagine a world; it holds up a mirror to the one we’ve lived in and the one we’re still shaping. It explores identity, belonging, grief, and survival in a way that feels both speculative and painfully real.
As someone who grew up attending predominantly white schools, I connected deeply with Sidney’s experiences. Being “othered” (constantly reminded that you are different, that you don’t quite belong) leaves marks that follow you long after childhood ends. Some of the moments Sidney endures felt painfully familiar, and I found myself reflecting on my own younger self while reading.
What struck me most, though, was reading this story as a mother.
I have a biracial daughter, and her experience has been very different. She has never been made to feel like she doesn’t belong. She has never been othered. She has always been rooted in her Black identity, primarily raised by her Black mother, surrounded by family who affirm her. Even after I remarried and joined a Black family, she was embraced fully, never questioned, never treated as “less than,” never made to feel separate.
Reading Sidney’s journey made me profoundly grateful that my daughter’s story has unfolded differently. It also reminded me how much environment, affirmation, and community matter in shaping a child’s sense of self.
Sky Full of Elephants is more than a speculative novel. It is a meditation on race, memory, and belonging. It asks hard questions about America while honoring the fullness and complexity of Black identity.
This book lingers with you. It sparks reflection. It opens conversations.
And for me, it felt both personal and powerful.

Good Read!
Format: Audiobook
I read this along with my son and his girlfriend in a family “book club”. We had a good discussion about the ending, as we each had differing perspectives, but that was fun! The book was really interesting, and the characters were so well defined and deeply moving. Good read, but the ending left us a little confused.

Thought provoking
Format: Kindle
Sky Full of Elephants is a work of speculative fiction that begins with the premise that the white population of the United States has been wiped out. Starting a year after “the event” and following Charlie, a man who spent 20 years in prison due to a cowardly lie, and his resentful, biracial 19 year old daughter, who witnessed her only known family drown themselves, it is at its core a quest for identity in its many forms and how trauma can co-opt that search. In rating and reviewing this book, I’m aware that my lens as a Gen-X, cis-het, white woman, will have a differing view from others’ lived experiences. In reading other reviews, I definitely saw points that I didn’t consider, which I hope is the main point of the book. I do think, as a work of speculative fiction, that it does require the suspension of disbelief from the get go. It is a philosophical “what if” that Mr. Campbell invites the reader to consider.
Intrigued by the premise, I was drawn into the story due to Mr. Campbell’s lyrical writing style. The narrative had a rhythmical flow to it that supported the world building and characterizations. I found Charlie to be a very sympathetic character, rebuilding a life shattered by lies in a new world and confronted with the daughter he never had a chance to know. Sydney, Charlie’s daughter, was more of a struggle to empathize with. While her feelings were justified and understandable, her growth throughout the novel was erratic. As the story has an ambiguous ending, perhaps her character will continue to improve. For supporting cast, the grumpy pilot Sailor and his nonbinary child, Zu, offer a counterpoint to Charlie and Sidney’s emerging relationship. The king and queen of Alabama and the thriving town of Mobile were well fleshed out. The Walkers and Sidney’s Aunt Agatha in Orange Beach represented those who were lost in their own way, either due to clinging to their former proximity to whiteness or to the religious biases they were raised with. I found the Walkers to be the most tragic of all.
The questions of identity throughout the story are what kept be invested throughout. Are we defined by the color of our skin, our behaviors, the groups we belong to, the choices we make? Are others more valuable or worthy who don’t suffer the same things we do? Does there have to be those that are “lesser” to make us feel whole? As a trauma survivor with C-PTSD, I struggle with my own issues of identity and worthiness, and as a former Special Education teacher, I’ve been witness to that struggle in others. I have never understood or accepted the idea of White Supremacy or Christian Supremacy or any of the myriad ways that humanity continues to other each of us. In reality, there is no “us” or “them” only”we”. Charlie questions who he is as a Black man in the US, a convict, a teacher, a father, and ultimately a fixer and healer. Sidney grapples with her biracial otherness, her wealthy upbringing and sheltered life, the trauma of abandonment, and the lies that her life was built on.
The ethical question of the machine at the epicenter of the event adds another layer to the story. While the effects of the first usage were unintended, once they were known is it right to continue to fix it and use it again? Can healing a part of collectiveness that harms or destroys another part ultimately be worth the cost? The world and its people are broken and desperately need healing. But just like the question of eugenics, what of value is lost when specific traits are universally stripped away? And who gets the to decide what is of value anyway? The ambiguity of the ending doesn’t answer the question entirely of what happens when the machine is repaired, but Charlie’s ability to fix things leads me hopeful. Personally, I cared enough about these characters to be interested in a sequel.

A book that makes you think!
Format: Paperback
This was a super good read, very imaginative. It dealt with identity, belonging, insecurities, family matters. The way it was written was unlike any book I’ve read this year.

The Possibilities
Format: Kindle
Despite its potential, this book ultimately failed to resonate with me. I found myself repeatedly compelled to put it down, as the focus on the empowerment aspect was overshadowed by the narrative’s preoccupation with re-triggering ourselves through the perpetuation of a harmful lie. This lie, which has tragically cost many Black men their lives and livelihoods, diverted our attention from the more profound themes of rebuilding culture, redefining ourselves, and creating a new world. Instead of exploring the possibility of a beautiful utopia, we were subjected to a process of de-centering ourselves and centering them, their likeness, and the relentless pursuit of proving our worth. While there were indeed wise words that moved me, I was left questioning the purpose of dedicating so much time to those who did not share our sentiments. Who are these individuals who required our convincing, and who are we who felt compelled to do so? I found Sydney, her family, and the inhabitants of Orange Beach to be unlikable characters. I fear that the plot was compromised when the focus shifted to inclusion.
