Voulhire - the real story behind
I am so curious about its history, its foundation, and what's the secret behind its success.
I'm sure the Emperor of Lullabies has something to do with it, don't you agree?

In my opinion, Voulhire seems to be perfect, but it already has its flaws, starting from Mianora and their selfishness. Also, the king doesn't have a reliable hair, or so it seems. Riva Rohavi managed to survive somehow and became a real threat.
As of their economical success, they are a hard-working nation, or so Galen sees them, for example

I don't think the Emperor of Lullabies has a significant effect of Voulhire, other than to make the Isles of the Princes a terrible place to live, which makes Voulhire look much better, perhaps better than it really is.

This is an excellent point. I was a little confused why the book would spend a fair bit of time explaining the background of the Isles of the Princes and the Emperor, but your explanation makes sense. Maybe they will be yet another force that blocks Voulhire's progress toward its Golden Age.Miriam Molina wrote: ↑05 Oct 2020, 16:05 I believe the Emperor will have a major role to play as the series progresses. Why else would the book have started with his background? His four greedy sons may also appear later. Exciting!

That makes a lot of sense. Voulhire doesn't strike me as a super-power, even though its military did a decent job against the Riva when Meldorath was general. Voulhire sounds more like a country of merchants than a country of soldiers, but sometimes you don't have to be strong, you just need the stronger folks to tolerate you.

I too have been wondering how the history of the Emperor of Lullabies and the Isles of the Princes tie in to Voulhire's current situation. I look forward to reading more about the connection in future books. I'm glad to hear that the beginning chapters of this first book will be more relevant later on._Bokeh wrote: ↑08 Oct 2020, 04:49 Having read the series upto book six, now I believe that the emperor of lullabies has a lot to do with it. At the beginning I failed to understand why they explained the history of the Land of the Princes yet the book was focused on Voulhire. I wish the author has a book revolving around the Lands of the Princes.

I think no. The Emperor of the Lullabies started the war in the Lands of the Princess, he is wicked. Such peace in Voulhire is possible with the right leadership. However, there will always be people who would try to destroy peace like the Riva Rohavi. You can find some answers to your question on the 2nd book.raluca_mihaila wrote: ↑03 Oct 2020, 07:49 Even from the beginning of the book, I wondered about the real story behind this perfect kingdom.
