alicihonest 's review for:
The Betrayals
by Bridget Collins
I feel like I could have loved this book, had I any goddamn idea what the grand jeu was by the end of it. Sadly, I do not. I am the suckiest of suckers for anything that smacks of dark academia, and some of the concepts in here were tantalizing.... but with no satisfaction to be found. I don't know what the grand jeu is. I don't think the author does either. And so, I can't care about it, and every other piece of story around it just feels.....silly......as a result.
[Disclaimer - I have not read The Glass Bead Game. Perhaps I shall at some point. But I don't think you should have to read a whole other work for that inspired by it to make a modicum of sense, if it even would.]
