.LacyMB reviews Av_Stories' OceansEcho, a swoony space adventure that mixes the best of familiar romance and science fiction tropes to make something refreshingly unique:
Many science fiction stories rely heavily on their most genre-heavy aspects to stand out in a crowded literary field, be it the specifics of bizarre alien cultures, unexpected twists involving the bending of time and space, or the dangers of extended intergalactic travel. And, as a result, things like character development and relationships too often tend to get short shrift.
Its story also deals with a very different familiar romance trope than its predecessor—fake dating instead of a marriage of convenience. Or, in this case, it’s really more like fake soul bonding, which takes things to an entirely different level, and that’s before the addition of the existential threat of intergalactic war is involved.
The dutiful Surit Yeni, the son of a legendary traitor who is doing his best to serve in a way that makes up for his family’s destroyed reputation, is handpicked to sync with Tennal and lead the search for an abandoned space station which is rumored to be somewhere in the chaotic space around the link.
The book’s claustrophobic range of settings—from space stations and transport ships to tiny retrieval tugs and literal close bedroom quarters—ramps up the pressure page-by-page, forcing Tennal and Surit together, even when they’d most like to be apart from one another. Tennal is essentially chaos in human form, with an outgoing personality and a tendency to self-sabotage both himself and his relationships.
