4.0 out of 5 stars dark and thrilling
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2023

I will absolutely be coming back to add more, but WOWZA that was absolutely dark and delicious in every vicious way possible. I want more.

Auset wakes up in an iron cage with no memory of who she was or what is going on. Sold into a life as a blade slave for 6 years, she doesn’t learn what it’s like to use that smart mouth of hers until the Order of Scorpions shows up. Now, she’s closer to answers and freedom that she never thought possible, but did she end up trading one master for three more?

Auset was incredible and her Scorpions are just as horribly monstrous. You don’t come here for warm, gooey, happy endings. You come here for warm, gooey, happy endings covered in blood.

This is dark. Check your TW beforehand. It starts dark, it stays dark, and it ends dark. But that’s all satisfying in its own way.

My only real issue was how quick the ending was and how everything kind of wrapped too conveniently for a stand-alone. It just revealed everything in a short time and didn’t really give that impactful ending I was looking forward to thanks to the blood bath that was the rest of this book. It resolved the plot lines a bit too quickly and didn’t feel all that satisfying. What happened in the epilogue was deserving of more time, considering how much time we spent with that portion of the story in the beginning.

I loved that this remained dark throughout. Monsters remain monsters. Revenge continues. We don’t wake up one day not bloodthirsty. That is what makes this so spectacular.

The attention to detail of the world is great, and I’m left wondering if there is more to this world. That’s what makes me a little bummed that this is a standalone. There were still questions unresolved (the sanguinn bond shared, the resolution from what was revealed in the conclusion). I don’t know if there will be more set in this world, but I hope so. And I hope it is just as dark

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautifully flawed
Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2023

Ivy Asher did an amazing job weaving a word and a ridiculously flawed antihero that you want nothing but the good for. The characters are vivid and believable in the pits as well as in the castle. The Scorpions are hard fought and hard won and they give her the space to be herself, without trying to change her. It was violent and beautiful.
Won't lie though, the first chapter was bleak, it does set so much of the tone for the at least the first 1/3 of the book it made it worth it.

I really enjoyed this book! The world that was built was really interesting. I loved all the characters in the Order of Scorpions plus Auset. Their abilities, personalities, and relationships with each other were very intriguing. There definitely are triggers in this book so beware. For me, they were "mild" but I read very dark stuff. I did not expect the ending. I like that things happened that I did not expect. However, I wish the ending was a bit more climatic. I also actually wish there was more spice. When the spice happened, it was goood! Just wish there was more of it for how long the book was. Also not a huge fan of long books and this one was a big one. But overall I really liked this book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Possibly her best yet

I LOVED this one! I desperately wish there was more. What a plot! I did not foresee any of those twists, plus omfg the vocabulary in this one. Thank you for using all those different words, I even had to highlight a couple of them to get their definition. If you are looking for a reverse harem, gladiator type tale with a happy ending, then this is the book for you. It's appropriately dark, difficult to read at times, perfect tension, slow burn, plot driven, mysterious, near constant action... it checks all of my boxes and more. All the stars to Order of Scorpions!

5.0 out of 5 stars An Exciting New Adventure!

4.5 ⭐️

I fell in love with Ivy’s Lost Sentinel series a few years ago and now I adore this one too! There is something for everyone in this book: Fae, Vampire type characters, strong FMC, Alluring MC’s, mild enemies to lovers, trials and tribulations, hidden powers, and more!

When Auset wakes up in unfamiliar surroundings and a blank spot where her past memories should be she is forced into a life she never would have chosen for herself. Let me remind you the beginning 1/3 of this book is quite dark. Check the TW before reading. Not all of her new life is mentioned in detail but what is discussed fuels a fire in not only Auset but the reader itself. You want her to reach her goals however perverse they might be!

Order of Scorpions is a Rh book. However do not let that stop you from reading because romance doesn’t even appear until at least 1/2 way in the book. The Scorpions are assassin’s and in an unexpected twist of fate encounter Auset which sets of a chain of reactions for all of their futures.

While there is not much of this new universe discussed I felt what was did a great job in setting the scene for the world we now reside in. A twist on the Fae courts we get a taste of what the world outside of Ausets forced home looks like.

Reasoning for 4.5 ⭐️

-There is one loose end that seemed to have been forgotten and it did mess with the epilogue but not in a way that detracts from the story.
-Some characters were touch and go and I would have loved to explore them just a little bit more than the few offhanded encounters and the book felt like a slow and steady climb until the very end which happened so suddenly!
-The conclusion for this story absolutely works but I wish it had been stretched out just a smidge longer since this is what we had been working towards throughout the entirety of the book!

I absolutely think there is potential for a spin off story that features appearances from our beloved Auset and her Scorpions but I did not feel left wanting once I reached the conclusion and would be happy with this remaining as a standalone!

There are triggers in this book, so be careful if that is an issue.
The author did a SPLENDID job of world and character building. I am the worst at reviews but I do recommend this book :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Epic
Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2022

ABSOLUTELY EPIC STORY.
This book could have easily been 5 stars and in need of being made into a movie of epic proportion.
First I have not read a stand alone in years. Series is the way I go. The burb was so interesting I gave it a shot. I don't regret it. The only reason I didn't rate this book 5 stars is because you can feel that some parts were cut. The taking down if the ludere could have and should have been an epic battle of at least 100 pages. There wasn't any solutions taken to help remove the King's. That itself could have been another 700 pages. So much potential for an unforgettable story just lost.
The world building is nice. Not overwhelming. Just giving you what you need to formulate an accurate picture of this world Ivy Asher has created. It's imaginative and different from how the fae are usually portrayed.
Auset is a strong woman who has been through unimaginable events in her life. From page one her story captivates you. This is a story of an adolescent girl being broken beyond measure. Forged and honed into a formidable weapon. Through willpower alone she fights back in her own small ways until she is unleashed. A woman courageous enough to grab what little her life has to offer and sample it.
The Scorpions.....oh my. Once these men enter Auset's life things begin to change for her. I honestly admire how she is courageous enough to open herself to them. Each of them have their own distinct personality. I do feel that one of them got a little lost in the building of an individual relationship with him.
The plot was slightly unusual. It could have went several different paths. I wish it would have went several different paths to make for a longer story. All in all it tied together in the end. I found myself looking several times at how much of the book was left. It became slightly frustrating the closer I got to the end because there just could have been so much more. At about 90% of the book I knew that some of the things we needed closure about would be quickly handled. That's what was missing. I just figured out what left me feeling like something was missing. There were not enough epic battles. We never got to experience how vicious the Scorpions were as a group.
The ending caught me off guard. Usually any avid reader can see ahead and have various ideas of how a book will end. This ending to Auset's story was totally unexpected. But yet it tied into the protagonist life like a final puzzle piece.
I applaud Ivy Asher for her ability to masterfully create a world her readers can get lost in. I have not read many of her books. This book makes me want to change that.
