The Betrayals by Bridget Collins Book Review

“The Betrayals ” is a good book that you can read online or download to read it later. Before starting the reading or downloading, here is the summary of the book that you can read At Montverre, an ancient and elite academy hidden high in the mountains, society’s best and brightest are trained for excellence in the grand jeu—the great game—an arcane and mysterious competition that combines music, art, math, poetry, and philosophy. Léo Martin once excelled at Monteverre, but lost his passion for scholarly pursuits after a violent tragedy. He turned to politics instead, and became a rising star in the ruling party, until a small act of conscience cost him his career. Now, he has been exiled back to Monteverre, his fate uncertain But this rarified world of learning he once loved is not the same place Léo remembers. Once the exclusive bastion of men, Montverre is now run by a woman: Claire Dryden, also known as Magister Ludi, the head of the grand game. At first, Léo feels an odd attraction to the Magister—a mysterious, eerily familiar connection—though he’s sure they’ve never met before.

Brief Summary The Betrayals by Bridget Collins

We are introduced to Party politician Léo Martin at the moment of his downfall; the Rat, scurrying behind the walls of Monteverre, avoiding notice and disowning humanity; and Claire Dryden, who holds the coveted post of Magister Ludi at Monteverre, despite being a woman, and burns with barely-contained anger and grief. These three main characters are quite difficult to engage with initially, as all have their tightly-held secrets and push away scrutiny of their feelings and motivations. Once the story-within-a-story begins, revealed through the pages of Léo’s diary of his student years, the characters begin to evolve and develop and I became thoroughly hooked on the beautiful, complex relationship developing between Martin and his arch-frenemy, Carfax. I gradually began to understand the essence of the ‘grand jeu’ game that the characters are obsessed with, and gave myself over to the brew of love, madness, terror and rage simmering beneath the sedate, academic surface.
