The Betrayals
by Bridget Collins
Quite the enjoyable book. It was like "The Binding" in certain ways: mysterious, past and present interlaced, (a bit) queer, and also very dystopic. "The Betrayals" shares some problems with "The Binding" too though: It's world-building is left a mystery (and could be fleshed out much more; however having a protagonist in a dystopia who doesn't save the world is oddly refreshing??), part of the plot twists can be foreseen, and one is left a bit unsatisfied by the ending. And yet it is also magical, fascinating and very immersive. If you enjoyed "The Binding", read this one. Oh and it was inspired by a Hermann Hesse book. I really liked it, it helped me get my mind off things and that's particularly hard at the moment.
