I loved reading everything about the book. The author vividly describe every event that made me enjoy reading this book. The story of Galen Bray as he flee from the war torn Lands of Princes to find a new life in Voulhire. Nice review and congratulations to BOTD!!

We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skie is surely a great book and truly the dancing Riva Rohav was an interesting scene. Congrats on the BOTD.

I already read this book, and even though I didn't like it at first, I enjoyed it. All the characters are very interesting, especially the mage Meldorath. The story is quite entertaining and elaborate; I hope to read the next book soon.

This seems to be an exciting book. Galen's future depends on how he can skillfully navigate the powers that be in Voulhire. He may think he is escaping from all his problems at home, but more significant threats await him in Voulhire. Thanks for the review.

Apart from narrating Galen Bray's life from the land of the princes to Voulhire, the book seems interesting with the inclusion of dances and magical occurrences. I love magic and I'm placing this book as my next read.

I love fantasy, especially novels with elaborately built worlds, so this book sounds like a good match for me. The Riva Rohavi do seem intriguing in particular; they are, at least, a very unique aspect of the novel. Thank you for the helpful review.

In the sci-fi fantasy book We are Voulhire: A New Arrival Under the Great Skies, the protagonist Galen is attempting to flee from his assailants in the kingdom of the princes to the land of Voulhire. But little did he know that what comes ahead is nothing compared to what lays behind. Thanks for your review.

Malevolent and benevolent forces within a city with mages, war and our hero a simple blacksmith? What’s not to love?
A new sci-fi book called We are Voulhire: A New Arrival Under the Great Skies sounds like a really great read and the start of an interesting series.

Having read 'We are Voulhire' by Matthew Tysz, I was enthralled by the richly depicted world, dark magic, and captivating characters. Galen and Rowan are some of my favourite characters. The book is a must-read for fantasy lovers.
