6/28/2023 0 Comments The first binding rr virdi![]() ![]() At the beginning Ari arrives in an inn, just like Kvothe, and ends up telling his story. ![]() Virdi uses, much like Rothfuss, a frame narrative. On the contrary, I enjoyed every single tangent Ari, the Storyteller, takes the reader on. The opening and pacing in general is slow, and Virdi takes great care to build the characters, world, and plot without rushing, but at no point did I feel impatient. I have been in a reading slump for months, basically for most of 2022, and I was worried that I wouldn't manage to tackle this 800 page book, but the opening drew me in right away, and I rarely looked up to check Twitter on my phone. The First Binding is the first novel in a new epic fantasy series, Tales of Tremaine, infused with South Asian world-building elements, and if you've read The Name of the Wind, you will without a doubt compare the two. ![]() Virdi's inspiring journey for a while now and have been eagerly awaiting this release. And this is the story of how I let loose the first evil. I started a war with those that walked before mankind and lost the princess I loved, and wanted to save. I’ve stolen old magics and been cursed for it. I buried the village of Ampur under a mountain of ice and snow. Source: A hardcover copy from the publisher. ![]()
