I finished this book recently and absolutely loved it so I couldn’t resist doing some art. 😄

The whole second half of Ocean’s Echo by Everina Maxwell is just like, “you hate yourself and can’t stand being yourself but there is someone you deeply love and think the world of and you have the opportunity to be that person even though it will erode both of your and that person’s humanity and individuality but would you still do it if you could be a version of yourself you could love?”

I still do intend to write a longer review post for Oceans Echo, but I just wanted to drop this here to say that if there’s anyone who’s read the summary and is a bit hesitant to jump in because it indicates that the morally upright, Lawful Good half of the pairing is a military officer and are nervous that this means the text presents the military as a morally upright or even just neutral force, then I want to reassure you that, having read it, that’s not something you need to worry about.

Obviously everyone’s mileage varies and I can’t guarantee that everyone will like how this theme is handled, but the contrast between Surit’s personal integrity and the moral bankruptcy of the institution is a part of is a deliberate theme in the work. Surit’s only 20, and he initially believes that he knows how corrupt the military is but that it’s still possible to do the right thing within it as long as he personally follows the rules. A huge part of his personal arc involves grappling with whether or not that’s true as the military continues to disappoint his already low expectations.

“All right,” he said. “I’m a fuckup. Is that what you wanted to hear? We knew that already.” He bit the bullet. “What are you going to do about it?”

You know when you preorder a book and then forget about it? It’s like past me bought future me a present.

I want to write a story where Tennal is injured from leaving his body while reading and Surit has to smuggle him back to his home village to take care of him while being in hiding, and Elvi is just like…that is the legislator’s nephew

(Except this exact dynamic happens in an enjoltaire fic I wrote so do I really need to write it again? Lol)

So far Ocean’s Echo is pleasantly reminding me of Diane Duane’s My Enemy, My Ally, at least in terms of broad theme/plot strokes. My Enemy, My Ally is structurally flawless and a favorite comfort read, so I’m excited about these, uh, echoes.

Tennal telling Surit it’s ok for them to fraternize even though he’s Surit’s direct chain of command because “it’s outside working hours” babygirl imma need you to reread the basics of workplace ethics
