How will one cope with a childhood friendship lost in adulthood? How brave can a person be without crumbling into a thousand pieces? These were just some of the questions running through my mind as I progressed through the second book in a series of Matthew Tysz entitled We Are Voulhire: The Fires of Virko.
The second book introduced a few new characters. The ones to note would be Hans Hrelek or Folcro and Kayden Morgan. The story focused on these two characters along with Demetrius Waters, the monk befriended by Galen Bray. The second installment started off rather normally with King Wilhelm Arcolo helping his citizens and moving on from what happened in the first book. Meanwhile, Galen Bray decided to travel with Rowan and Demetrius to the town of Virko in hopes of acquiring iron for Magnum Caelum. There, they met Lord Venden Hrelek and stumbled upon an issue concerning his son, Hans Hrelek. Lord Venden was worried about the plans of his son with the demon bounded under his home and requested Demetrius to get rid of it. With the help of Kayden Morgan, a childhood friend of Folcro, Demetrius was able to find the object binding the demon. In trying to cast away the demon, the movement led to unforeseen events.
I loved the writing style of the author for this book. The story was written in such a way that the reader would stay interested the whole time. It was difficult for me to put the book down since I was always at the edge of my seat wondering what will happen next. Another part of the book that I loved would be the characters. I considered them to be well-developed because I could see the many facets of their personalities and how they deal with the people around them. I was especially impressed by Demetrius and his resolve to protect his hometown and its citizens. I was also curious regarding the exact relationship of Kayden and Folcro because it seemed like they were inseparable before, but grew apart. Through this book, I was able to better understand the characters and what drove them to their decisions on the narrative. This was something I truly appreciated while reading the book because I felt the characters adding life to the story.
There was absolutely nothing I disliked about the whole book. I honestly enjoyed reading it. Even though my mind was filled with quite a lot of questions, this does not lessen my love for the plot and the characters. My interest throughout reading the story was constant despite noticing a few errors on some pages. The book can still be considered to be well-edited because mistakes were minimal and insignificant.
I give this book 4 out of 4 stars because of the way it was wonderfully written and its intriguing characters. There were some scenes with extreme violence so I would not recommend it to people who are sensitive or uncomfortable with this. However, I highly recommend it to readers who are interested in engaging stories that include magic, friendship, and adventures.
