About this deal

And in a book that pretty much relies on those characters and their relationship, that was a killer.

The characters are charming, the plot pleasantly tangled, and Maxwell's sharp, confident writing makes her space opera hum with energy.

I don't know if I've ever seen as masterful a combination of cracking sci-fi adventure story with really well-developed romance. I have read both books and so I can confirm that you can read Ocean's Echo first without any confusion or spoilers. There was a moment in one of the earliest chapters that once I read it, there was no stopping my progress with the book.

There were a few threads that were left without answers and even Tennal and Surit's future together was presented more as a hopeful thing than a sure one. There would be instances when a new point would be revealed, and I knew it was relevant somehow, but for the life of me, I could not figure out how. While I would describe Winter’s Orbit as a romance with sci-fi, I would consider Ocean’s Echo to be a sci-fi with romance. And maybe part of the problem is that I do read and love sf, and it fails at the thing I love about sf which is providing food for thought on the what-ifs, how something would be possible, would work. not entirely the book's fault but considering the plot in the first half was slow and a bit boring, i wish the author could've spent that time developing the relationship more before focusing on the plot again in the second half.I was sold this as a romance and it was an intellectualist political thriller set in space with the odd kernel of romance. The two then join forces to help each other reach their goals, and as the story progresses, their bond grows stronger, and their want for each other becomes impossible to ignore. He also struggles with the legacy of his mother, who was a military-leader-turned-rebel in a war that took place a few decades before the story’s start. i feel like for so many books that feel like other books i love, i just want to go back to the books i love. I originally pitched this as "like fake dating but with fake soulbonding, also both characters are in the space military.
