Review by Andy_White -- We are Voulhire: Someone Else's End
We Are Voulhire: Someone Else's End by Matthew Tysz is the third book in the series, We Are Voulhire. Voulhire, a nation with a great history laid on the foundation of authority, sovereignty, and order, is falling apart.
Meldorath, a self-proclaimed Eiodi disguised as Eiodi Indarmo II, is almost running out of time to fulfill his ambitions. He is determined to do anything to get a former king's diary from the palace's arduous-to-enter archives. Why does he need the journal so vastly? The King, on the other hand, is in limbo and torn between a decision to make. 'Shore against Soulhire' is a hard-hitting case to resolve on. Some Voulhirians, mostly the young, are advocating for foreign refugees while a few old elites are against the motion.
Those against the motion fear the wrath of the Emperor of the Lullabies. A Powerful Emperor whom they believe cannot be defeated. Still on course, a group of Voulhirian rebels, Riva Rohavi, is determined to overthrow and rule over the Voulhire kingdom. Striking and destroying the cities in Voulhire and its people is their only strategy. Will they certainly satisfy their ambitions? Galen Bray, a refugee from the Lands of the Princes ruled by Emperor of the Lullabies, is extensively exploring Voulhire, with fate always finding him on the wrong side. Where is his enthusiasm and fortitude leading him? We Are Voulhire: Someone Else's End by Matthew Tysz candidly gives the answers to these questions.
From this novel, it's clear that ambitions are the sole drive to all the characters in the plot. While some have selfish purposes for their benefits, others are for the growth and economic expansion of Voulhire and the comfort of its people. Struggle for power positions through conspiracy is at play in the palace by which the novel brings it up vividly yet discreetly. Magic plays a vital role in this nation, and its ability is indispensable. Its power is divine and offers protection from the adversary; hence the endeavor to attain a more magical ability to rule undisputed is positive, not only in Voulhire but also its environs.
This novel's beautiful part is how selfish ambitions can tear down a nation deeply rooted in its values and moral obligation like Voulhire. The turmoil and turnout of events in the country of Voulhire are aching. This book's author excitingly unveils events in the storyline so subtly, creating deep anticipation, which calls for intense concentration.
Honestly, this book is breathtaking, but it would be so unfortunate for anyone to read it without going through the first and second parts of the series, We Are Voulhire. The plot is fascinating with subplots and kinks, which create suspense, hence keeping the reader fastened. Not only is the English too deep in this book, but also the terminologies used are very tough, which to a greater extend, annoyed my concentration. The narration from the first person to the third is also tedious and confusing. I wish the author could have used only one voice throughout the narration. This book is skillfully proofread and edited, with just a missing quotation mark.
I rate this book a three out of four stars. The deep English and two voice style of narration used in this book was a put-off, but its plot is magnificent. Having followed the series from the start, and having a vast understanding of the story makes it easy to understand; otherwise, the rating would have gone lower. The book has neither sexual content nor profanity within it. I would recommend this book to any admirer of the fantasy genre and more specific to adults who can comprehend politics and magic.
