We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies by Matthew Tysz is a captivating, action-packed story about Galen's search for a new life in a new location. The novel also has thrilling moments concerning Lord Edus, a possible character who desires a fresh start for his town after Lord Meldorath's sins have plagued it.

One of the key characters in the book, Galen, learns that he has wealth in Voulhire to claim. After leaving the Land of Princes, his hometown, which had been ripped apart by conflict and famine due to the Emperor's sons' power struggle, he fled to Voulhire. When Galen finally made it to his long-awaited new home, he saw Rowan, who seemed to assist him in settling in and made an effort to make Galen's life better than it had been in the Land of Princes. Get this book to know more about Lord Edus' deeds and the fate of Galen's future.

While reading this book, I found several positive qualities. This book's narrative point of view was interesting and simple to comprehend. The author made use of excellent passive communication. The writer is skilled at blending comedy, tension, and action. The author deserves appreciation for the character development and narrative aspects that make up the storyline. I liked how the author explained the personalities and histories of all the characters in the book. I also appreciated how the author detailed the setting of this novel. The author gives readers a glimpse of Voulhire's many cities, towns, rulers, and politics. I kept reading from the beginning to the end of this novel because of the action, suspense, and engaging dialogue. Also, what piqued my interest in this book was its cover. It was colorful and captivating.

There was one aspect of this book that I didn't enjoy. The author used the character's name instead of chapter numbers to split the story. It made reading the book hard for me. Because of this, I don't think readers will be able to recall any exciting scenes they particularly appreciated. It might be beneficial to break this text into chapters. I enjoyed that the author provided a name dictionary to help the reader decipher the terminology referring to the characters and the narrative.

Because of the fascinating plot and character development, I would rate this book 5 out of 5 stars. I discovered no errors in this book, which speaks highly of its editing. Readers who appreciate sci-fi, fantasy, and adventure books should pick up this book.

"We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies" by Matthew Tysz is an action-packed novel about Galen's search for a new life in Voulhire, a town where he discovers he has wealth to claim. The book also follows Lord Edus, who seeks to start afresh after his town was plagued by Lord Meldorath's sins. The book has excellent character development and a well-crafted setting that includes Voulhire's many cities, towns, rulers, and politics. The author successfully blends comedy, tension, and action to create an engaging storyline. However, the book's lack of chapters, which are replaced by character names, makes it difficult to recall specific scenes. Despite this, the author provides a name dictionary to help readers understand the terminology.

"We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies" by Matthew Tysz is an interesting book. I wish the book told us if Galen got his uncle's forge running again.
