[Following is a volunteer review of "We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies" by Matthew Tysz.]
Galen Bray’s journey begins as he steps into a world filled with ancient magic and forgotten lore. His uncle’s unexpected inheritance puts him on a risky path, joined by the mysterious Rowan, to find a legendary metal. As they venture deeper into the heart of Voulhire, the whispers of an impending disaster grow louder. The threat of the Riva Rohavi’s return looms, and the dark legacy of Lord Meldorath won’t stay buried. Dive into the captivating world of We Are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies to uncover the tangled threads of fate and mystery.
One thing that really stood out to me about the book was its multi-layered narrative. It gave me a peek into the minds of various characters, helping me understand their motivations, emotions, and personalities, even those of the antagonists. I was also fascinated by the creative use of dance to harness and direct magical energy. The contrast between the grace and beauty of dance and the brutal, destructive fighting style of the Riva Rohavi added a whole new level of complexity and intrigue. This unexpected blend of elegance and violence left a lasting impression on me.
While I enjoyed the multi-layered narrative, there were times when the constant switching between characters felt overwhelming, making me eager to get back to Galen’s story. It sometimes felt like the protagonist’s voice was overshadowed by the supporting cast, which tested my patience a bit. However, I understand that this narrative style is probably setting the stage for future books. Knowing this helped ease my initial frustration.
The book’s flawless editing made for a smooth, error-free reading experience, which really highlighted its quality. With its engaging story, well-developed characters, and fantastic world-building, I happily give it a perfect 5 out of 5-star rating. I highly recommend this captivating tale to anyone who loves magical realism and great storytelling. Its unique mix of fantasy and adventure makes it a must-read for fans of the genre.
