About this listen

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?

I enjoyed this, the dystopian setting and the secrets unfolding did grip me with likeable characters and good build up.

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

I love it and 100% recommend. I will be going straight on to book 2. However the summary isn't accurate. The book is definitely dystopian, but it is also quite heavy on the romance, which I adore, but again, isn't clear from the summary. It also has stong fantasy elements, which I enjoy, but again, wasn't clear from the summary.
So if you love Dystopian, romance and fantasy, then this is the book for you!

Loved it
