I think that this is a very interesting novel based on your informative review, thanks for that. The world of magic requires an open mind and the author was able to do so with this book I cannot wait to read more.

Compelling read but since I'm not a fan of fantasy fiction, I'll have to pass on this one. But will definitely recommend this book to people interested in the genre.

"We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies" by Matthew Tysz about the power tussel in the land of Voulhire. I wish the author had another series that discusses the fate of Meldorath.

This book sounds like a popular movie where a nobody gets tied up in the affairs of big men. I wonder if Galen is able to cope in his new environment. Congratulations to the author on winning book of the day.

The character development, especially that of the main character, Galen, was superb. You can't get bored with the action and mysteries in the book. I really recommend it. Congrats on BOTD.

I took a closer look at the book's cover page and I realized that it has a thought-provoking cover page that depicts a kingdom that is withering. I wonder what Galen encounters there. I am looking forward to finding out. Congratulations to the author on winning book of the day.

This is a great action-packed adventure novel following Glen as he moves from The Land of the Princess to Voulhire. I like the promising storyline!

Having read the book I agree with this review. This fantasy book is filled with activity and does not just focus on Galen Bray whose life has become quite interesting.

This is a nice review. The reviewer did great. One can easily understand the story. It seems to be recorded as the last book I've reviewed as well. I remember the world of magic, the use of dark element to beautify the writers' world.

I read this novel and I agree about all the positive comments about it, as the author starts building this fictional universe bit by bit developing the characters at the same time. It's a great start for an epic fantasy series. Thank you for your great review!

The title alone is so attractive and I can't wait to read it.
But from the review, it seems to be an action-packed dark fantasy.
Thanks for a great review.

I just finished reading your review of "We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies" by Matthew Tysz, and I must say, I'm thoroughly impressed by your thoughtful analysis and detailed commentary.

Your praise for the vivid world-building and the depth of the characters resonates with me. I too found myself captivated by the richly imagined setting and the intriguing personalities that inhabit it. The scene with the dancing Riva Rohavi was indeed a delightful surprise, and I'm glad to see it highlighted in your review.

I also appreciated your mention of the glossary. It's a testament to Tysz's meticulous attention to detail and his commitment to immersing readers in the world of Voulhire. It's not often that an author goes to such lengths to ensure readers can fully understand and appreciate the unique aspects of their created world.

Your review has not only reinforced my own enjoyment of the book but also highlighted aspects that I hadn't fully appreciated on my first read. I'm now even more excited to dive back into the world of Voulhire and explore it further.

Thank you for sharing your insights and for your recommendation to fans of dark fantasy and action-packed scenes. I wholeheartedly agree with your perfect rating of five out of five stars.

Happy reading,
