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.]
We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies by Matthew Tysz presented a fantastical world filled with both science and magic. The main character, Galen, hails from a war-torn land known as the Land of Princes, where the emperor's four sons are constantly at odds. In search of a better life, Galen journeys to the city of Magnum Caelum within the powerful nation of Voulhire, where he inherits the property of his late uncle, Onita. King Wilhelm Arcolo governs Voulhire, assisted by several lords who lead different regions, including Hillport. However, the previous lord, Lord Orlin, was dismissed for poor leadership, and his successor, Lord Meldorath, was also removed from power after causing turmoil among the people of Hillport. He was eventually arrested and executed. Judge Eldus Alderman steps in to take on the mantle of the lord to bring hope back to Hillport and put to rest rumors surrounding Lord Meldorath. Will Judge Alderman be able to deliver on his promises? To find out, please read this wonderful book.
This book was a mesmerizing tale of magic, with a cast of multi-faceted characters who are both complex and fragile, yet display immense bravery. The author has done a remarkable job of crafting the fictional world of Voulhire, from the comprehensive map at the beginning of the book to the intricate details of its geography, history, and culture. The reader is thoroughly immersed in the richly imagined world and its relationship with the magical realm of Caromentis. As the first book in the series, it sets the stage with success, leaving the reader eagerly awaiting the next installment.
I was struck by the imaginative and surprising narrative style employed by Matthew Tysz in this book. He showcased a remarkable talent for constructing the intricacies of the world of Voulhire, including its cultures, values, and social structure. Religion is also a major theme, demonstrating its impact on the characters and their lives. The book provided valuable insights into the thought processes and decision-making of sailors during their voyages. The use of multiple perspectives allowed for a rich and varied interpretation of the story, and I was constantly intrigued by the new perspectives offered.
Furthermore, the depiction of magic and its impact on the world was intriguing and added a layer of excitement to the story. There was nothing I disliked about this book. The novel We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies by Matthew Tysz was a unique blend of science and morality, seamlessly weaving both themes into the story. The narrative is filled with important lessons about choices and offers a fresh perspective through its multiple character viewpoints. Also, I did not observe any errors, which means it was exceptionally edited.
I was thoroughly impressed and gave this book a well-deserved 5 out of 5 stars. The reasons for my rating were the positive aspects mentioned. I recommend it to anyone who enjoys imaginative tales and is looking for a creative blend of fantasy, magic, and science fiction.
