Review of We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies
[Following is a volunteer review of "We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies" by Matthew Tysz.]
The first chapter of "We are Voulhire: A New Arrival Under Great Skies" by Matthew Tysz tells the tale of a king and his four sons, who plot to remove him from power and ascend to the throne. The monarch, in his wisdom, decided to send his sons away from the kingdom after learning of this plot, so he assigned each of them a portion of an island with armies and weaponry. A few years later, they started fighting among themselves in an effort to gain control of the island and succeed in their father's rule. Years or even decades of war prevented their nation from developing in any way. These all involved a young man named Galen, who was able to flee the war-torn land of the princes and arrive at Magnum Caelum in Voulhire to carry out his uncle's dying wish of inheriting his legacy. The land of Voulhire is a distinct nation with various kingdoms and unique values. In this world, the Caromentis (the world of magic) and the Cosmos (the universe) compete with each other—a place where men use magic to harm and kill other men. Would magic triumph over the good? Get a copy to find out.
When describing what happened, the author used vivid language. He gave a thorough explanation of magic and its operation. He made an effort to draw parallels between the physical world and magic. It must require a lot of ingenuity and inspiration. He brought to light the social issues of the rich living in luxurious homes and the poor being exploited and fed upon while the poor labor hard yet have little to eat. Exactly this is taking place in today's society. The wealthy are getting richer while the poor are going poorer.
Galen is my favorite character in this novel. I respect his tenacity, perseverance, and drive to succeed and carry on his uncle's heritage; this demonstrates responsibility. He taught me to always strive to be a better version of myself, to be ambitious and open-minded, and to be hungry for success. I admire the bond that developed between him and Rowan, the executor of his uncle's will; it validates the idea that everyone of us has a destiny helper—someone who God has chosen to help us on our life's journey.
Although the book is educational and was exceptionally well edited, I still found some flaws in it. The storyline's lack of coherence is one of the aspects of the book that I did not enjoy. Every chapter seems to have a unique story of its own. As such, it is not interesting, and because of this, one is likely to put the book down. Many folks don't have the patience or perseverance it takes to finish. The author of this book should, in my opinion, pay more attention to the plots of other series.
I will give this book a rating of three out of five stars because the story was not compelling and intriguing enough to encourage one to read more.
I'll recommend this book to everyone who enjoys mystery, magic, and fiction
