The Order: Kingdom of Fallen Ash

The Order Series, Book 1

De: Katerina St Clair

Narrado por: Isabelle Turner, Anthony Palmini

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?

SUPERR GOOD!

I honestly loved it, I feel like it had almost every single trope you can think of! Definitely a good listen! I also loved hearing from everyone’s POV

Love it!

I was so sucked into this one. On to book 2!

Only thing I would change is to have recorded in duet vs dual

Most enthralling dystopian series I’ve ever read!

I cannot get enough of this series. Forest, Fallon, and Xavier are such dynamic characters, keeping me on my toes at all times. Highly recommend!

Don’t sleep on this

A fast paced, detailed dystopian world ruled by an order who has cruel intentions for anyone who opposes them. In an attempt to create the perfect humans, a society controls their citizens every move. For those who do not pass the purity tests, they are dumped into a ghetto of barely livable conditions. Two people destined to be together no matter how many times they are ripped apart, are willing to risk it all and they slowly begin to see how it affects everyone they hold dear. I loved this book so much.

It was good but where do we go from here

This narrative bears a striking resemblance to Divergent, with its dichotomy between the Factions and the Factionless. The incorporation of mind control chips and the notion of the "tainted" is a fascinating concept. The societal structure, with its rigid hierarchy and surveillance state, is reminiscent of the Untouchables and Unfortunates. The numerous rules and regulations governing every aspect of life are oppressive. Furthermore, the entwined paths of the characters evoke Fallen vibes. Initially, Xavier's character showed promise. The shifters, however, are a dark and enigmatic presence, and their role in society remains unclear. Are they the marked? The apparatus also remains a mystery. The presence of a resistance movement adds depth to the narrative. While this series has drawn comparisons to Hunger Games, Divergent, and Fallen, it remains to be seen whether it will continue to captivate.

Great listen

good story I got into it fast and enjoyed the theme iam looking forward to the rest inthis collection.

🤌🏼🤌🏼

Isabelle Turner and Anthony Palmini were so good in this. I love the story that Katerina St Clair created. I love the depth of the characters, and the light shone on systemic oppression and “racism”. It was a nice “deep dive “ listen, and I can’t wait to see how this story progresses. 🔥🔥🔥

Great plot idea!

Actors did good and the story was intriguing. My only critique is that the dialogue felt a little unrealistic at times

what an original story

I have listened to a ton of books , such an intriguing story, decent heat, but a lot of world building which is really appreciated and the next book i can tell will be good

Enthralling

Loved this performance, I did try to follow along with the kindle version and it didnt match in quite a few places but it didnt change the story.
