The fictional work We Are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies by Matthew Tysz is brilliantly written. It plays with the edges of your imagination and leaves you with a worthwhile lesson. The physical world known as the Cosmos and the magical world known as the Caromentis are said to be the two worlds. 

Galen, a refugee from the realm of the princes, made his way to the mysterious new country of Voulhire during the narrative. To flee the fury of an ongoing conflict, he left his country and his family behind. When their father's health began to deteriorate, their desire for the throne and greater authority intensified. Even though their father spared them an equal portion of the wealth, it wasn't enough to appease their hunger cravings to be the sole heir. 

Two things were obvious in his house: violence and avarice. If you are not fortunate enough to be a member of the royal family, your only options are to slowly starve to death or to be hacked to death. Galen sought to understand how Voulhire differed from or was similar to his native country because he had witnessed enough bloodshed in his new environment. 

The book's lighthearted nature pleased my mind as much as my emotions, so I appreciated that. The author's ability to think creatively and use words to perfectly illustrate his ideas was pretty outstanding. Additionally, I thought the beginning of the story was quite interesting and lyrical. It introduced me to the realm of spells and is a book series, which reminded me of other fantasy works like the Harry Potter series and The Chronicles of Narnia. I am so eager to read the second book because this one is the first, and I anticipate it to have a similar or even more dramatic plot and dialogue. I also anticipate there will be action scenes in the book to create a more fascinating overall picture. 

There was nothing about the book that I didn't like. I didn’t find any errors in this book; it was exceptionally well edited. I will rate this book five out of five stars since I thought it was both intriguing and entertaining. Furthermore, I suggest the book to anyone who enjoys exercising their imagination. Young readers can also pick up this book; it’s a great read.

The richly imagined world of Voulhire becomes as much a character as Galen himself, adding depth to the story.
