"We are Voulhire: A New Arrival Under Great Skies" is a captivating and immersive fantasy novel that takes readers on a journey through the magical land of Voulhire. The story follows the arrival of a new outsider, Edmund, who is both fascinated and confused by the strange customs and traditions of the people of Voulhire. As he navigates this alien world, he discovers secrets and secrets that threaten to tear Voulhire's foundation apart.

One of the outstanding aspects of this novel was how the world was constructed for the readers. The author has created a detailed and vividly illustrated world that is both enchanting and dangerous. From high mountains to vast forests, each place feels unique and alive, full of its own history and mythology. The characters are also well-developed and complex, with their own motivations and desires that make them feel like real people.

The plot itself is well-paced and full of twists and turns to keep readers engaged from start to finish. The political intrigue and power struggle behind the story are particularly well done and add depth to the story. The themes of identity, belonging and the clash of cultures are also treated in a nuanced and thought-provoking manner.

Overall, We Are Voulhire: A New Arrival Under Great Skies is a highly recommended read for fans of fantasy and adventure. This is a well-written and expertly crafted novel that offers both a fascinating story and a complex world to explore.

I would rate this book 4 out of 5 because it is truly an outstanding work in its genre. The only downside is that some readers may find some parts to be dragging on. Additionally, some of the dialogue felt a bit stilted or unnatural. But this is more than made up for by the richness and depth of the world and characters.
