*We Are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies* Let the world of Matthew Tysz take you on a journey into oriental magic and politics with a hint of fantasy. as the written environment is good in terms that the author is interacting with the main character, Galen as a refugee who wants a better shelter in the kingdom of Voulhire. Accordingly, he presents us with the intricate dynamics of this new territory beset with magical and technological halting gestures. Tysz has done an excellent job of drawing out a very complex social hierarchy. To nearly an equal extent, the story provides the reader with a picture of that downtrodden population, that elite, and the unseen puppet masters behind them. 

It must be said that the concept of world-building is one of the novel’s most successful features. Tysz introduces numerous cities that possess different cultures and traditions the reader can study. The locations range from the ever-bubbling Soulhire to locations associated with the world of Voulhire as explained, and one can almost get a tour of the fictitious world that they read about in the book. The two characters are also well-rounded, each having their own motive and emotion for most of the period. Most of the actions and personalities of the characters seem real, from a simple and inexperienced scholar in Galen to the vile and power-hungry Lord Meldorath. The battles described are believable. 

The kind of pacing that has been adopted is fabulous; it alternates the game between exploration and combat sequences. Even the sense of mystique keeps the readers interested because they are always unsure of what kind of criminals are behind a certain story. I did not detect any variations for the storyline that exists in this piece, and the author seems to have worked at a very rudimentary level which is interesting. 

In convincing the readers that a worksheet is quite enough to learn a new language, the author succeeds in proving his point effectively. This is why I give this book a 5 out of 5-star rating. First, the author has done a good job of writing a work of fantasy, and I didn’t have the chance to see any typographical errors while reading the book. The editing was perfect, and there’s nothing at all I would not like about it. When I say that it should interest anyone who is inclined toward the fantasy genre, this is what I mean.
