We are Voulhire: Someone Else's End by Matthew Tsyz is the third book of the We are Voulhire series, featuring magic, adventure, politics and cosmic wonders.

The book started with the Emperor of lullabies visiting Lord Meldorath's dream and leaving him a message. After killing the eiodi, Meldorath has been named the new eiodi of Yamon Soul. Demetrius spent weeks trying to meet the new eiodi to tell his worries about Virko, with limited success. Gelen then convinced Rowan to help Demetrius gain an audience with the king in Soulhire, the capital of Voulhire. Rowan was hesitant at first, but Gelen's persistence to help Demetrius as well as to finally see the wondrous city of Soulhire worked like magic in convincing Rowan even though there is every chance it will be a waste of time. With the debate about helping the refugees from the Lands of the Princes still hot in the king's court, the apparent outcome had surfaced even before the end of the debate, and the consequences are known and yet unsure.

The book is a great work of imagination, as Matthew Tsyz intertwined every essence of a good story into it. His descriptions were realistic and his organization and plot are both straightforward (that is, when read as a series).

However, Matthew's style of writing is very off putting. His character introduction and use of P.O.V are confusing. There are too many characters and unnecessary details that served no discernable function to the story (although there might in the long run, but not as a standalone). Also, the length of the book does not do justice to its pace as I could not really pinpoint the bottom line of the story — one would have to read the next series to better understand it.

We are Voulhire: Someone Else's End gets a two out of four stars rating as it contains a few typos, and its largely unsatisfactory writing style —also because it cannot be enjoyed as a standalone. It contains foul languages, although mild and not offensive at all. No sexual content but a few mentions of God (not directed to any God in particular) that might be offensive to religious readers, although never in a way to sway religion.

I wouldn't recommend this book to readers looking for a standalone or something remotely close to that. Instead, I'll would say it is a book for readers looking for a long twisted story, one that doesn't go straight and has lots of turns, as well as fantasy lovers.
