A solid second novel in the universe of Winter’s Orbit of the Resolution Treaty and Orshan, although with an entirely different cast of folks. Readers and architects and neuromodifications take center stage in Ocean’s Echo. Queer love is the cherry on top and the very real way that our main characters learn to love each other because of their flaws. 

I liked Winter’s Orbit more, but am not sure if that’s just because my reading of that first book was less interrupted.
