[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 transports readers to the war-torn Land of the Princes, where Galen Bray, a tenacious 28-year-old survivor, stands at a crossroads. His great uncle, the mysterious Galen Onita, bestows upon him the reins of a steel business nestled in the captivating expanse of Voulhire. Guided by the enigmatic Rowan, his late uncle's estate executor, Galen embarks on a transformative journey towards Voulhire, seeking a fresh start and the promise of a brighter future. However, the seemingly idyllic realm of Voulhire unveils a tapestry of deception beneath its sun-kissed facade. Malevolence, shrouded secrets, and an encroaching darkness threaten to cast shadows over Galen's newfound aspirations, turning the once-promised sanctuary into a labyrinth of challenges. As Galen delves into the heart of Voulhire, he must not only confront external threats but also reckon with the shadows within himself.
In this landscape where the boundaries between reality and illusion blur, the inclusion of a map at the beginning of the book enhances the understanding of the story's locations. Eldus's fervent service to the people of Hillport stands out, showcasing a ruler who prioritizes the interests of his people. The world-building, despite its fantastical nature, exudes a sense of realism and relatability. Every character, even the secondary ones, plays a significant role, adding layers to the engrossing narrative.
Galen's character emerges as a favorite, characterized by humility and diligence. His adherence to his uncle's wishes and dedication to learning blacksmithing showcase a depth that resonates with readers. Throughout the narrative, the author's imagination shines, creating the unique and immersive world of Voulhire. Exceptionally well-edited, the book is devoid of errors, earning a solid 5 out of 5 stars. I wholeheartedly recommend We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies to readers who relish the blend of science, fantasy, and sci-fi thrillers. In this profound exploration of resilience, self-discovery, and the delicate balance between light and the encompassing darkness of Voulhire, I found no negative aspects, making it a captivating and satisfying read.
