[Following is a volunteer review of "We are Voulhire: The Knights of Chalethire" by Matthew Tysz.]
After being driven out of their homes, Galen and his friends go to the city of Chalethire. The beginning of the book focuses on the trio developing their skills. Galen works on improving his smithing ability while working with the blacksmiths of Chalethire. Rowan makes money and trains in the arena. Demetrius tries learning more about his power with the priests in town. We are Voulhire: The Knights of Chalethire is Mathew Tysz’s fourth book in the We are Voulhire series. It focuses on the events in Chalethire, Virko, and Soulhire. Virko is still under the hands of Kayden and the demons, and it seems that people are afraid to get involved with them. Meanwhile, the new king in Soulhire, Nartik, is working on getting the council’s favor. It also seems that Meldorath is appearing more often while working on his magical abilities.
This book focuses on the knights of Chalethire. They are power-hungry and want to be in control of the towns around them. Not only do the knights of Chalethire desire to expand but also the Riva Rohavi. The Riva Rohavi want to take over Chalethire, and the knights want to take over Virko. Will either of them succeed?
I was extremely happy to read that the trio was working on themselves at the beginning of the book. Occasionally, authors forget the character's main purpose. I also liked how previous issues were solved in this book. This means events are starting to follow up and make sense. I also liked the battle descriptions. Although they were not as violent as the second book, I still appreciated the amount of detail going into it. In addition, I liked the new characters introduced. Harper, who is a paladin and in control of her own knights, seems to be an interesting character. She is the first female character who does not have a secondary role. Finally, I liked the elements of magic playing a bigger role. Previously magic was seen as a minor role, but I appreciated how this book focuses more on it.
I actually don’t have any major concerns about this book. It is important to mention that there was the occasional mention of homosexuality, profanity, and violence. They did not bother me personally, but they may bother other readers. In addition, the book hardly had any grammatical errors, but I noticed a few comma misplacements. However, this did not affect my reading at all.
I give this book 4 out of 4 stars. Questions are finally being answered, and the characters are growing at a steady rate. I have no major complaints about this book at all. Some readers may think it isn’t as eventful as the previous books, but I believe the pace was perfect.
As the book is the fourth in a series, it should be read by people who have read the previous three. This book should not be read as a standalone because it will be confusing. Readers invested in the world of Voulhire and the characters would enjoy reading this book. Children and younger teenagers should not read this book due to profanity, sexual remarks, and violence.
