Review by Jolly Aweko -- We are Voulhire: Someone Else's...
[Following is a volunteer review of "We are Voulhire: Someone Else's End" by Matthew Tysz.]
The third installment in the series, We are Voulhire: Someone Else's End by Matthew Tysz takes all the action to Soulhire; the capital of Voulhire.
The Cathidien palace is going through court proceedings on the case, Shore against Soulhire. The petition was for Voulhire to open its shores and resources to the inhabitants in the Lands of the Princes that was ruled by the sons of the infamous Emperor of Lullabies.
Meanwhile, since the Diadem remained closed for visitors, Demetrius didn't get the opportunity to inform the new Eiodi about the demons in Virko, so Galen and Rowan encouraged him to seek an audience with King Wilhelm. It is here that they actually end up being saved by Lord Meldorath, the new Eiodi, during an invasion by the Emperor of Lullabies. He too was in Soulhire on a mission to steal King Jovikun's notes at the royal archives, he believed they had information about the way to caromentis.
The author clearly shows how people can have hidden motives and senseless ambitions in everything they do. King Wilhelm should not have trusted Lucius Nartik, his chief advisor who made a deal with Riva and informed the Emperor of Lullabies about the King's plan to foster refugees from his lands.
I love that the author introduced a strong female character; Sophie Shore, a young student chosen by her peers to represent students of Menicrity University who stood in advocacy for foreign refugees of the Lands of the Princes. This shows the importance of women in building an economy and a kingdom.
I also loved the fact that the author portrays that the greatness of a nation can also be weighed on how it can offer assistance to it's neighbors and not only on its economic growth and military strength.
Galen, Demetrius, Rowan and Lord Kayden show significant character development and the back stories of Galen and Rowan make the characters understandable and relatable.
However the description of the nightynights makes the reader have a hard time trying to get a mental picture of how they actually look like.
I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars because I enjoyed the book and can't wait to get my hands on the forth installment in the series.
I recommend this book to fantasy and magic related novel lovers. A mature audience is preferred because of the frequent cases of profanity and the mention of sensitive topics such a rape, bulling and the dealing with demons.
