About this listen

Ocean's Echo is a stand-alone romantic space adventure, set in the same universe as Everina Maxwell's hit debut, Winter's Orbit.

When Tennal—a rich socialite, inveterate flirt and walking disaster—is caught using his telepathic powers for illegal activities, the military decides to bind his mind to someone whose coercive powers are strong enough to control him.

Enter Lieutenant Surit, the child of a disgraced general. Out of a desperate need to restore a pension to his other parent, Lieutenant Surit agrees to be bound to Tennal and keep him conscripted in the army, a task that seems impossible even for someone with Surit's ability to control minds.

Tennal just wants to escape, but Surit isn't all that he seems. And their bond may just be the key to their freedom.

The writing/storytelling itself is brilliant, but I dislike the narrator choice. The fake accents are distracting and really don't work.

I suggest reading it rather than listening to it, if you're able to.

Brilliant story, poor narrator

I loved the idea and all the complicated layers added in. I loved the final battles that are still rolling through my head, their sheer magnitude mind boggling. I loved the narrator who kept me hooked and made each character different enough that I could identify them by voice. all in all, I loved it!

Loved it!

I nearly didn't get this because of some complaints about the accent the narrator put on for some of the characters and thank God I didn't listen. I'm guessing the accent throwing people off is the non-british one and honestly the narrator does such a good job in my opinion. So, is it the narrator or do you just not want to hear "accented" (it's all accented for god's sake) English?. Think on that.

For anyone on the fence, get this book. It was a great listen and well worth the credit/run time. Worst case? Return it. It's really not the end of the world.

5/5 would recommend

Very interesting relationship between main characters. Good to learn more about the world introduced in book one. Overall I thought it was a bit too long and my interest strayed a bit towards the end. Hope there will be more books set in this world. The narrator was very good but his pronunciation of ocean was weird and threw me out of the story every time he said it
