Thank you to Macmillan/TOR for sending me an ARC of this title. I received this copy for free and this review contains my honest opinions. 

 

Ocean’s Echo is the standalone companion novel to Winter’s Orbit and just as enjoyable. I couldn’t put this book down - in fact I stayed up to an irresponsibly late hour just to finish it. I had absolutely no idea where the plot was going to go and loved every single minute of it. 

 

This book is definitely science fiction with a hint of romance, but Tennal and Surit are so compelling to watch interact that I really didn’t mind. My favorite part of both Winter’s Orbit and Ocean’s Echo was actually the world-building, and I hope Maxwell continues to explore this incredible universe she’s created. The only reason Ocean’s Echo wasn’t 5-stars for me was that it didn’t resolve things quite where I wanted them to. While it was still a solid ending, I was hoping for something a bit different. 

 

If you enjoyed the world-building, characters, or writing style of Winter’s Orbit you’ll definitely enjoy this companion novel. Thank you again to the publisher for sending me a free ARC.
