Sci-fi and a crazy race.. count me in

This was great fun and the narration of the audiobook was great and captivating. It was easy to follow and stay on track with the story. The narrator was able to give good distinctions and voices between characters. The storyline was progressive and the pacing of the story was great and not too fast or out of sync. The characters were easy to love and I really enjoyed the futuristic world they were in.

Great story with AMAZING narration!!

I've read the book and loved it so when I saw the audio I thought I'd give it a shot. The narrator and production blew me away! There is a deadly race/competition across the surface of a beautiful planet with insane weather conditions, political intrigue, and one of the swooniest romances I've read in the YA genre. If you love YA sci-fi, definitely give this a listen.

Amazing Story

AHHHH I love this book so much. I have read this story before but listening to it has been so good, from the voice performance to the little sound effects this has been an amazing listen definitely will listen again!!!

Suspenseful until the last moment

I have read this book three times now and I never stop loving it. I still get teared up in places, I still am anxious AF at the ending, and I still love every single moment of it.

The voice acting was perfect and I LOVE the added sound effects. 10/10 recommend.

Fast-Paced

Into The Churn was an exciting fast-paced read. I found myself looking for opportunities to listen to the audiobook outside my normal times. This book had the perfect formula of action, loveable characters, and romance to be a winner for me. It has joined a short list of one of my sci-fi fantasy favorites tied with The Illuminae Files.

So good I was smiling in public

Warning: listening to this audiobook is so fun that you might look crazy as you smile along in public 🤪.

Seriously though, I’ve missed listening to audiobooks! This one was incredible, with a gripping plot, an entertaining romance, and a mystery that hovers above it all. Plus, there were plenty of sound details taken to account. If tech was malfunctioning, there were sound effects. If multiple characters spoke a line in unison, there were multiple voices doing so.

Pretty much the only problem I had was that I thought the actress read a little slow, so I listened to the whole thing on 1.2x speed and I found that to be perfect. The problem was fixable, so is it really even a problem? I think not.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I liked “Into the Churn” so much that I’m probably purchasing an Audible subscription just to listen to the sequel, and hopefully the third book comes out as an audiobook as well!
