L'Elite - Tome 1: Résilience (Pocket Book)

The way characters are pushed to betray each other made me wonder if the system was designed to break them down first. Was that the author's critique of authoritarian control?

It’s a tense environment that really amplifies the stakes. Curious whether the author based this on real-world educational or societal pressures.

The romantic subplot was subtle but added depth. I wonder if the author intended it as a contrast to the harshness of the world or just a natural part of character growth.
