Review by Kuilawrence083 -- We are Voulhire: The Fires o...
[Following is a volunteer review of "We are Voulhire: The Fires of Virko" by Matthew Tysz.]
We are Voulhire: The Fires of Virko by Matthew Tysz is a science-fiction series. This is the second book in the series. The story is based in Virko city, the most productive city in the Voulhire kingdom. All cities in the Voulhire kingdom were costumed to be under Lordship rule, but Virko was now ready to move past that tradition and embrace merchant rule. King Wilhelm and the Lord of Virko were quite at peace with that decision, but the lord's son wasn't.
Hans Hlerek was the son of Lord Venden, who was known to live a solitary life. But that was just what he wanted people to know, Hans lived a life that no one couldn't imagine in their wildest dream. He could do magic, which again was neither popular nor encouraged in Virko city. He could also tame a demon. Hans got excited at the thought of Virko falling; he knew the king wasn’t going to like that. It appeared like the king couldn't catch a break; bad news seemed like a pattern he was forming unknowing. Still, it was his responsibility to receive either good or bad news, just like his responsibility was when he put the law before love and imprisoned his friend Meldorath. Did the king ever regret doing that?
Despite Hans being known as a person who avoided people, he once had an intimate relationship with his childhood friend called Kayden. A son of a nobleman. Presently, they don’t seem to share mutual feelings. What happened to their friendship? No spoilers!
I am congratulating Matthew Tysz for his writing style, the way he made it easier and fun to understand his words and connect with emotions carried by them; for instance, it almost got me crying when Galen expressed his level of intimacy with Rowan ‘ Rowan never cared if Galen made mistakes’ ( pg 19). I imagined how it would feel to love people with no expectations. I think the author had intention behind every word, which made it more captivating, and I connected with characters effortlessly. I'm glad that he kept the suspense going on throughout the reading. It made me yawn for more. I loved how I related to Hans’s character, especially how the authors plot him as a person who knew that all he wanted was within him, and he carried this awareness. Secondly, he never regretted any decision he made, and most importantly, he owed the consequences.
There is nothing I disliked about We are Vouhire: The Fires of Virko . Matthew Tysz nailed it again. I recommend this book to all audiences, especially those who love to paint a fantasy world while also learning.
I rate this book 4 stars out of 4 since it is professionally edited, and it was an enjoyable read.
