"Ocean's Echo is a stand-alone space adventure about a bond that will change the fate of worlds, set in the same universe as Everina Maxwell's hit debut, Winter's Orbit. Rich socialite, inveterate flirt, and walking disaster Tennalhin Halkana can read minds. Tennal, like all neuromodified "readers," is a security threat on his own. But when controlled, readers are a rare asset. Not only can they read minds, but they can navigate chaotic space, the maelstroms surrounding the gateway to the wider universe. Conscripted into the military under dubious circumstances, Tennal is placed into the care of Lieutenant Surit Yeni, a duty-bound soldier, principled leader, and the son of a notorious traitor general. Whereas Tennal can read minds, Surit can influence them. Like all other neuromodified "architects," he can impose his will onto others, and he's under orders to control Tennal by merging their minds. Surit accepted a suspicious promotion-track request out of desperation, but he refuses to go through with his illegal orders to sync and control an unconsenting Tennal. So they lie: they fake a sync bond and plan Tennal's escape. Their best chance arrives with a salvage-retrieval mission into chaotic space--to the very neuromodifcation lab that Surit's traitor mother destroyed twenty years ago. And among the rubble is a treasure both terrible and unimaginably powerful, one that upends a decades-old power struggle, and begins a war. Tennal and Surit can no longer abandon their unit or their world. The only way to avoid life under full military control is to complete the very sync they've been faking. Can two unwilling weapons of war bring about peace?"--… (mehr)

Really nice book, with very distinct personalities and an intricate story. I would almost have given it 5 starts, but I felt it dragged on a bit towards the end. Admittedly, it dragged with lots of action. The action was just too much and too long for my taste. ( )

It’s another queer space opera romance, where the super politically connected Bad Boy is thrown together with the Good Boy trying to overcome his controversial family heritage, in a world where mind-control skills are just sufficiently developed for the plot, and you can see where it’s going from the third chapter. I liked it more than the previous book though. ( )

Tennal, nephew of an influential legislator, is a 'reader', someone who can pick up thoughts and emotions from the minds of others. Readers are distrusted in society but 'architects' with their ability to control others are acceptable. Tennal is sent into the army to be illegally synced to an architect named Surit. Together they become mentally linked and must find their way through coups and old conspiracies.
A complex and interesting story ( )

It’s not often I can say that an author’s sophomore work is leaps and bounds better than their first but holy crap this was a great read! Politics! Coups! Neuromodification! Romance! I loved every minute of it, so good! ( )

In one isolated planetary system, warring factions developed “Architects” and “Readers”—the former who can command obedience for a short time, the latter who can read minds. Readers are mistrusted and blamed for an attempted coup, but useful synced with Architects to navigate the disturbed space that isolates the system. For the synced Reader, things are less fun: they are always vulnerable to being “written” by the Architect. The ne’er-do-well Reader nephew of the ruler is shipped off to be synced, but encounters a strong Architect who also has a strong moral code, and they agree to fake the sync until the Reader can escape. So it’s a variant on forced bonding, with a lot more politics and a lot more attention to the unpleasant sides of forced bonding, and Maxwell successfully complicates the politics as things go on. Not super tropey—they accidentally fall in love, but, in what is catnip to me, they recognize that the ongoing coup attempt/low-level war they’re in is more significant until stablized. If you like strangers-who-probably-should-be-adversaries-to-lovers and lots of politics, you might enjoy it too. ( )

Tennalhin Halkana arrived at the party fashionably late, which might have meant something if he'd been invited in the first place.
