leulski 's review for:

The First Binding by R.R. Virdi
4.0

This was a really fun and creative story. The mythology is such a delight and leaves you wanting for more. One thing I didn't like is how the lead character can get incredibly frustrating and self-absorbed and his character development is rather slow. However, I think this is intentional from the author and I'm sure there is a reason in there connecting his development to the nature of fire. I'm excited to see how the story unravels since there are a lot of open threads - threads that feel will be rewarding when completed!
