Review of We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies
The fantasy series We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies by Matthew Tysz explores the complex nature of the human psyche and the lengths to which a person will go to attain their goals, whether good or bad.
With the sincere aim of accomplishing the objectives of the mission, two individuals set out on separate missions to carry on a legacy. To carry on his great uncle’s trade, Galen Bray, a lowlife exile from the warring Lands of the Princes, set out to collect the inheritance left to him in the more developed kingdom of Voulhire. Galen only needed to practice discipline, tenacity, and insight to succeed. In contrast, King Wilhelm dispatched Lord Eldus Alderman, a dependable and devoted friend, to Hillport to hide his deception but with the misguided hope of causing their economic decline to coincide with that of other Voulhirian cities. Despite all the odds, the judge-turned-Lord Eldus was determined to give his people new hope and mend the wounds left by the crimes of his forefathers, Lords Orlin and Meldorath. As the ultimate price was fully paid and the evil, which the monarch had tolerated and suppressed, won, this decision did not go without bloodshed. It is impossible to overstate how harmful having a double standard and being unsure of yourself is.
It is admirable how imaginative the author is. The reader is left in awe by the magic characters’ acts in this book. An atmosphere of terror is created by the detailed descriptions of violence and brutality. I can’t help but feel the brutality of how Lord Orlin was lynched and burned alive or of Lord Elnus’ vain attempt to flee from the Rivas when they had the upper hand. The novel’s entertainment value and ease of understanding are also positioned between these two opposing emotions. By methodically combining concurrently occurring events chronologically, the author made it clear which character was whose.
I disliked nothing about this book. It was exciting and action-packed.
I gave the book a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. There were no unnecessary narratives in the book, which helped to build and maintain my sense of anticipation as I read. The depth of Matthew Tyzs’ imagination was specifically communicated. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series. The book was exceptionally well-edited and error-free. I strongly recommend it to anyone who likes history, battle, philosophy, or fairytales.
