Aiden is a 12-year-old Prime, who doesn't fit in with his peers because he has two gifts. Most Primes only have one. Being a Prime isn't all fun and games, and death is a very real probability. There are usually twelve in a coterie, but in Aidan's, there is only him and two others. The other coteries don't like him as they fear his multiple gifts. However, things are about to happen that will involve other people with other abilities.

This was a wonderful and gripping story, with in-depth descriptions of the various abilities and what the people look like. The rivalry jumps off the page at you, and you will feel how unfair it may be! With an overall series arc that only gets told towards the end of the book, this is a science fiction novel to enjoy, which will immerse you in the story and leave you wanting more.

With more to each character than originally meets the eye, this is a science fiction novel I have no hesitation in recommending.

INTO THE CHURN is the first in a new same-name series by an amazing author. First, she has proven to be a force to be reckoned with in Fantasy, and now, she has done it again in Science Fiction.

The characters of Ezren and Foster are outstanding, quickly drawing you into their story and making you want all the good things for them. Their relationship is quick, but not rushed, and not without its arguments as they are both strong-minded and strong-willed. They are ably supported by a brilliant cast, all with their own unmistakable personalities, who share the pages so well.

From a death-defying race, to sabotage and murder, this story gives you enough to sink your teeth into, whilst leaving you wanting more. I have fallen in love with Belethea and hope to return to her skies soon!

This is high-class Science Fiction that just happens to have young MCs but can be enjoyed by readers of all ages. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY ME!!!

Great story and plot (1 more)
Unique combination of emotion and science
Almost too close for comfort
The first book in one of my favourite trilogy's. I love this series and its ability to make short jumps in scientific advancement from where we are currently to the potential of what we might become. The scientific basis of this series brings up very modern issues regarding ethics regarding both human and non-human life. A series that makes you reflect on decisions you make as an individual and as a human existing on earth. Thought provoking, never shying away from 'taboo' subjects

I loved this book! Of course there was a ton of science but Weir explained in a way that made is easy to understand. The story itself is intriguing and interesting all the way through. I enjoyed Watney’s positive and sarcastic perspective but also really loved the chapters back in Houston or California, especially before they were all in contact. There were also a couple of chapters written from an unknown POV- it kept me on edge just waiting for Mark to find out and experience what was going to happen! Get comfortable with this one because it’s definitely hard to put down!
