If you were to choose between a magical world and a normal physical world, which would you prefer? If it were to be a choice I could make, I’ll choose none of them. I would rather prefer a world where both magical activities and normal activities are intertwined with each other. The kingdom of Voulhire is such a world. There are two realms that exists in the kingdom: the magical realm called the Caromentis and the physical realm called the Cosmos.

We are Voulhire: The Fires of Virko by Matthew Tysz is the second book in the We are Voulhire series. It is a sci-fi/fantasy based novel that consists of 153 pages.

Galen spends time practicing basic blacksmithing skills using his late uncle’s journal. He has started getting used to the peace of Magnum Caelum but is still a bit scared of getting too comfortable. Venden Hrelek, the lord and founder of Virko wants to end noble sovereignty in Virko and replace it with capitalism. Lord Venden is also very sick and seems to be dying. Some of the merchants of Virko are supportive of this idea, but Lord Kayden Morgan has a strong feeling that Lord Venden’s son, Hans Hrelek, nicknamed Folcro is up to something. Meanwhile, Galen travels to Virko with Demetrius and Rowan in a bid to secure some iron for Magnum Caelum. Meldorath is also back and he’s got something planned. Grab a copy of this book and find out Meldorath plans, and if lord Venden’s plan becomes successful.

Each book in the We are Voulhire series keeps getting more thrilling as the series progresses. I’m very impressed with the way the story keeps unfolding. Although I’ve read the third book in the series, I’m very eager to read the fourth one. What I liked most about this book was the way the author structured it. The book’s structuring has always been the same for all books in the series and I find it awesome. The books are made up of just a few pages over 100 so the reader can enjoy it without being tired, and it also makes one more eager to read the next book in the series. It is also categorized into chapter-like sections that are concise and well-constructed.

There was nothing to dislike about this book. Demetrius finally seems to be more social than before, even though most times it’s expressed in arguments with Rowan. I loved the way he spoke to the demon in Virko, he showed confidence and expressed bravery. Galen finally seems to be getting a hang of things in Voulhire and has started participating in the activities of Magnum Caelum. Meldorath also makes the storyline thrilling with his presence.

The characters in this book were well-developed. They consisted of major and minor characters that were well-developed. The scenes were also equally well-developed, and the descriptions in the book were superb. I only found one error in the book which shows that it was professionally edited, so I’m rating We are Voulhire: The Fires of Virko 4 out of 4 stars. I recommend this book for people who love reading magical stories.
