In the dystopian realm of The Order, society is eternally divided between the privileged Untouchables and the struggling Unfortunates.
The Untouchables, draped in opulence and power, govern the city with an iron fist, casting long shadows over the impoverished Unfortunates who toil beneath in the murky depths of the working class.
As the ruling elite revel in excess and luxury, the Unfortunates navigate a world stacked against them, grappling with meager resources and restricted opportunities. The social chasm widens daily as the Untouchables tighten their grip on wealth and influence, leaving the Unfortunates to navigate the shadows cast upon their lives.
The Order Series follows the intertwining fates of two sworn enemies—one an ambitious Untouchable seeking to challenge the system from within, struggling to cope as the lies of her society unfold in front of her; the other an Unfortunate yearning for a chance to seek vengeance on any and every Untouchable in his path. Their stories unfold against a backdrop of intrigue, rebellion, and the unyielding determination to break free from the oppressive shackles of a society defined by its merciless class divisions.
The question is, can free will exist in a society this divided?

Loved it

The main character was interesting and has a lot of room for growth. And the slow burn romance was very slow… until it wasn’t! But not the main angle of the story.
I’ve given it 4 stars because it was a fun listen and I will listen to the next one but parts were predictable and there were some confusing elements that felt a bit odd to me. Also annoyed me that the author overused the word “silent” even when the interaction was not actually silent!
Gripping in parts with a dystopian world and slow burn romance

To give them credit, the narrators did a good job given the material they had to work with. However, I don't think the book deserves any stars at all - I just had to give it one so I could submit this review.
What could have been a great story was totally ruined by the poor writing quality.
Half way through, I even Googled the author to check whether she was real, as I couldn't help thinking it was written using AI.
In places, the descriptions were like word salad and didn't make any sense. Words were used out of context as if the author didn't know what they meant.
Many times the same word was used more than once in a sentence when a number of others could have been used instead.
Some of the action happened without any explanation.
All in all, the standard was very disappointing.
I don't think the author checked her work or cares about the art of the written word and this book certainly never went near an editor!
So, it's a good idea and in the right hands it would have been a great series of books.
I will never find out what happens after the first book though - there is no way I will waste my time listening to that drivel and I will certainly never pay for it!
Don't buy this (I'm glad I didn't!) The author needs to read a dictionary.....
