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.

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.
