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 was authored by Matthew Tysz.
The story takes place in the made-up nation of Voulhire, which is rife with political intrigue, magic, and adventure. Galen was a little boy who, at the age of eight, was abandoned in a war-torn country with his uncle's gift of an estate and some gold. Somehow, he ends up at the centre of a prophecy that will decide Voulhire's future.
The world-building created by Tysz is breathtaking. The reader is submerged in a fully realised world of magic and intrigue as a result of the beautiful detail used to describe Voulhire's landscapes and cultures. The plot is also inhabited with a vast array of individuals, each with their own distinct personalities and objectives. Galen, in particular, is an engaging main character; he fights to accept the role he will play in Voulhire's future.
The relationships between the characters are intricate and realistic. The characters could’ve been developed in a better way, at some parts they felt like sidekicks and options for the sequel. The magic system is also well-designed and gives the narrative an additional layer of complexity.
Another important aspect of "We Are Voulhire" is the writing. Tysz has a tremendous gift for writing descriptive prose, and each page benefits from his lyrical, evocative writing style. He even attempted to solve real-world problems by fusing them with fiction. Additionally, the strategy used in political situations merits attention; observers should take notes.
Some readers might notice issues with the book, such as the characters' names being swapped around and their uncertain motives. Personally, I didn’t like the sexual jokes, they weren’t necessary. Additionally, the make it not suitable for some audience.
The first-person writing style of each character makes the book's flow feel like solving a puzzle and I really like some brain storming in my reads. Fans of epic fantasy will enjoy "We Are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies," a good debut book.
I’ll give the book a score of 3 out of 5. One because that kind of writing and imagination I know there’s a room for improvement. Second because the gap between characters and sexual content. Overall, it is a nice book with good writing and satisfactory conclusion. I'm eager to see where Tysz takes the series next.
