I didn’t love The Betrayals as much as I loved The Binding, but still a good read.
I only gave 4 stars not 5 because characters and the plot did become very confusing and difficult to differentiate, and there seemed to be quite an irrelevant storyline of The Rat which became boring.
I also wish the Grand Jeu was explained properly because I spent so much of the book trying to understand what it was and just ended up more confused.
But I did love the portrayal and development of Carfax and Leo’s relationship.
