Strong characters

The determination of the characters stood out and made it easy to get caught up in their cause. Though the landscapes are treacherous it was an exciting world to get swept into. Loved the narration as well.

Fun!

This was such a fun read! Action-packed races and fights, fun characters, original curse words, adorable romance—there is so much to love. I look forward to seeing what adventures Ezren and Foster go on next.

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!!!

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.

This story is absolutely BLIME!!!

Hayley Reese Chow has created an action-packed and swoony tale about an underdog team that’s racing, fighting, and driving their way to victory! And Brogan Werder is the PERFECT voice for it all! She brings to life Ezren’s cheery optimism and endearing awkwardness, and then just as well brings grumpy and brooding and protective Foster to hold his own on the page.
I love watching them grow together as teammates, friends, and of course, lovers. Their chemistry is off the charts, and you’ll be cheering them on the whole way through.

So shafting good!

I read this when it first came out and was so excited it was on audio so I could do a reread! This is such an exciting read. Into the Churn is Blime (awesome, rad, could not out it down)! Wow I was saying it's like zenon meets hunger games but honestly this stands on its own. I loved the high stakes deadly race. There was romance clean but catches your heart all the same. Ezren is my fav she's a mess in the best way and has a big heart, I adore her. Foster is a grumpy handsome chip on his shoulder kind of guy but there are layers to him you peel back through the pages, huge crush on this fictional guy. I love the setting I could clearly see what Hayley was describing and feel it all with them. I really enjoyed the Syfy nerdy stuff. I never felt lost or confused she does a great job keeping you in the story and entranced the whole time. I loved all the made up words. I'm going to walking around saying "suns" and "a**chaff" now and blime lolol. The fighting scenes were intense! Oh my word she did a great job with those scenes but note to readers there is violence this race is no joke everyone has to watch their backs in the race. I love this world and these characters and would definitely recommend this story especially if you are looking for action, Syfy with a little bit of romance.

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.

Iconic

Couldn’t have chosen a better narrator to bring one of my favorite stories to life. Highly 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.

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.
