Audra Winter’s The Age of Scorpius – The Book, The Backlash, The Lessons
166Audra Winter’s The Age of Scorpius – The Book, The Backlash, The Lessons
The Age of Scorpius by Audra Winter went viral on BookTok before it was even released.
The marketing was slick. The hype was huge. The aesthetic was flawless.
But once readers opened the book, the excitement turned into something else entirely.
In this deep dive, I’m looking past the drama and focusing on the actual book — the editing problems, the pacing, the info-dumping, and the public defensiveness that made the backlash even worse.
This isn’t just a story about one debut novel — it’s a cautionary tale for every indie author trying to break through on TikTok, BookTube, or Instagram. If you’re building hype, you have to deliver on the page.
