[Following is a volunteer review of "We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies" by Matthew Tysz.]
"We Are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies" by Matthew Tysz takes readers on a thrilling journey into the fantasy realm of Voulhire. Set against the backdrop of political turmoil and war between the Emperor's sons in the neighboring Lands of the Princes, the narrative follows Galen Bray, a young man seeking refuge in Voulhire. Galen's inheritance of his great uncle's forge grants him citizenship in Voulhire, prompting him to embark on a life-altering adventure.
The book intricately weaves together various plotlines, providing a vivid portrayal of life in Voulhire. Through Galen's eyes, readers are immersed in the vibrant and dangerous world of blacksmithing, as well as the challenges he faces while upholding his grandmother's advice to seek the good in every situation.
Beyond Galen's journey, the story unfolds several engaging subplots, including the coexistence of two worlds, mysterious occurrences in Lord Meldorath's castle, and the connections between these enigmatic events. Tysz skillfully blends these threads, creating a captivating narrative that extends beyond typical fantasy storytelling.
Furthermore, the book boldly addresses sensitive issues like pedophilia and immigration from war-torn regions, adding depth and social commentary to the narrative. Additionally, being the first installment in a nine-book series, the novel promises further exploration of Galen's adventures in subsequent installments.
The book is immaculately edited, offering readers a seamless and engrossing reading experience. I found no flaws and thoroughly enjoyed the entire journey, warranting a solid 5 out of 5 stars.
While the book's title and cover might attract younger readers, it's important to note that the presence of mild sexually charged scenes and minimal profanity makes it more suitable for mature audiences. Overall, I highly recommend this book to adult fans of fantasy and adventure seeking an intricately woven and immersive tale.
