We Are Voulhire: The Fires of Virko by Matthew Tysz, the second book in the 'We Are Voulhire' series, is a marvelous combination of adventure and fantasy with a sprinkle of magic here and there. Human relations and emotions are also present, a positive point that makes this book more viable for the readers.

After the first journey of Galen in book one, he embarks on another new venture in the new kingdom along with Rowan and Demetrius. On meeting the mayor of the city, they get to know that the Alcovian deal for iron by Hillport has fallen out due to the death of Lord of Hillport recently, making it harder for Galen to pursue his practice and metal forging. This leads them to visit the industrial city of the Voulhire, Virko, to gain another better favor.

Whereas, the city of an ever known rise to fame, Virko, has its own morbidity to hide. Son of Lord Venden Hrelek, Hans Hrelek, also known as Folcro throughout the city, has given himself onto the dark aspects of life. Lord Venden Hrelek, being immensely ill, still asks King Wilhelm to demolish sovereignty and impart command of the royal administration in Virko.

Kayden Morgan of Virko is looking forward to welcome his soon to be born daughter in this new world along with the perils with his lover, Peter. Demetrius and his companions meeting with Kayden and later with Lord Venden Hrelek, who dies the very next day, lead to the unraveling of the demonic presence and the hereby accelerated downfall of Virko.

On the other part, an unexpected turn of events at the church of Yamon Soul leads to the imminent rise of the demigod and stunted efforts of Demetrius and his companions to save Virko.

“Just like religion. Just like science. The only discipline people of Virko observed was industry.” Page ten of We Are Voulhire: The Fires of Virko.

Matthew Tysz has an exceptional way of presenting the scene to readers in most applicable and realistic way. We Are Voulhire: The Fires of Virko consists of the theme of adventurous taste more than the magical one.

Avid readers having an interest in adventure or fantasy genre can give it a go. I strictly recommend reading this book in the right series, and I do not consider them to be a standalone novel.

I would rate this book ‘4 out of 4’. I'm giving it a full rating because the book gives a satisfying dose of contentment for the hunger of the plot. Various character developments can be seen in the book. For example, the hurt and betrayal by the King of Voulhire with Meldorath, the silence of demigod along with his sense of the wrongdoings done to him, making the character gain sympathy and gives the onlookers more into the life of a self-made demigod. The journey of Galen and all the out comings of Voulhire was fairly dealt making this book a fair choice to read. The plot was immensely huge with no unwanted content or rambling. Emotional instances in the life of Kayden Morgan and Folcro can also be observed. The emotional side of the book is also an appealing one.

Regarding the editing of the book, no errors or any grammatical mistakes could be found. Only once or twice the absence of punctuation at the end of dialogue delivery can be found in the whole book which is almost negligible to consider. The book was exceedingly well edited. It can be seen that it was professionally edited to give this best outcome of the book. This makes it more alluring for readers and one of the reasons to rate this book a good one.

There was no use or presence of profane language or the presence of any erotic content in the book. Explicit contents of cruelty were there but the explanation was left for the readers to contemplate and imagine.

Overall stating, this book is completely favorable and authentic for its plot.

I wish we could make like a fantasy novel and start sprinkling magic on all the dark aspects of life, but for now, books will have to do. I have not read the initial title in this series, but hear it is equally impressive. Thank you for providing such a detailed and insightful account of your impressions!

I totally agree and your welcome! In this realistic world, books are enough of an anchor to live (atleast for me

). Thank you for your response and this book is a fun!

This book reminds me of the likes of ‘Maleficent’ and ‘Harry Potter’ - fantasy and magic stories that are superb and at the same time, mind-blowing. Nice work.

Yes, it is a good one. Although the concept isn't too callous but the plot is developing book by book and I'm waiting for the ultimate epilogue in this series! Let's just keep on sprinkling magic here and there!
