Review by Muladan -- We are Voulhire: The Fires of Virko
[Following is a volunteer review of "We are Voulhire: The Fires of Virko" by Matthew Tysz.]
Galen has now settled down in Magnum Caelum. He has started perfecting his inherited art of blacksmithing. Life is settling on an even plane. Behind the peaceful adventurous life of Galen, events are unfolding. These events threaten to completely change the way of life of Galen and Voulhire as he knows it. After the destruction of Hillport in the first book, this sequel highlights the dangers of avarice. Greed destroys a major industrial center of Voulhire. Virko is destroyed by demons in the night. Meanwhile, Meldorath installs himself as eiodi while Galen is still oblivious to the true nature of events in Voulhire. Will Galen get to know what is going on? I can't wait to read the next book in this series.
I loved how the author of this book gives a clear and detailed description of scenes and scenarios in the book. The horror of demons in the night is so vivid that I had to choke back several lumps that formed in my throat. I also liked how the characters are portrayed. The ever joyful and perverted Rowan fascinated me the most. Events in the book occur in an interesting sequence that made it hard to resist turning a page.
Furthermore, I loved the writing style of Matthew. The author combines philosophy, psychology, and science in a very brilliant and subtle manner to create a very interesting and enjoyable narrative. The book is spiced up with breaks that run between scenes to ease the tension built up by the rapid sequence of events in the novel.
Magic is also portrayed in a rather different way than most books attribute it. In this novel, magic is more of human driven than nature-driven. It takes much concentration and a great will to tap magic from Caromentis. Galen is told this clearly by Hans. I also liked the way the effects of greed are evident in the novel. I also loved how the author used obscene language sparingly.
The book contains so much violence and brutality. Though I have no problem with such themes, I would advise you to skip this one if you are sensitive to extreme violence and brutality. Also, this book contains religious themes that highlight demon activities.
I did not find anything displeasing about this book though I felt that it was somehow disconnected from the first book in this series at the beginning chapters. Being exceptionally edited, I rate We are Voulhire: The Fires of Virko by Matthew Tysz with four out of four stars. I recommend this book to a mature audience after the thrill of science fiction. I would also recommend against very young children reading this book as it contains some very violent themes.
