Review by Remesethe -- We are Voulhire: The Fires of Virko
[Following is a volunteer review of "We are Voulhire: The Fires of Virko" by Matthew Tysz.]
We are Voulhire: The Fires of Virko is the second in the series following We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies. The story continued to tackle the adventure of the trio consisting of Galen, Rowan, and Demetrius. This time, they headed for Virko to address an obligation concerning Galen’s town, Magnum Caelum. Matthew Tysz didn’t only introduce a new character in the story, but he also presented a new conflict with it. Narratives delved more into personal situations showing the root of the tragedies that were to come.
I was able to observe the consistency in the work with concern to Voulhire’s culture because of the choice of words that were used to describe someone’s sexuality. It was puzzling at first because it didn’t appear conventional, which only made doubts accompany judgments. As the story went on, it was stimulating to see whether the hunch about the character is correct. The confusion made it more exciting, especially when scenes illustrated that there was more to the relationship of the characters.
One of the things that I liked about the book is the organization and structure of each chapter. It made it easier to catch up and connect the story. Although a change in the point of view would occur, it didn’t become a cause of confusion. Moreover, it complimented the narrative's phasing with the sudden shift in the intensity of the situation. When things would seem peaceful, a twist or event was always there to shake my imagination.
Although there were serious problems at hand, the author managed to incorporate funny scenes using the antagonist characters without affecting their role in the story. I liked how this revealed a different side to their personality regardless of their deeds. On the other hand, the dialogues were just as helpful in showcasing the nature of the people involved. I was able to see the various elements such as desire, emotion, and motivations that lead the characters to where they stand in the story.
I’m giving the book a rating of four out of four stars. The narrative was nicely edited and the arrangement of the chapters was organized in a way that would make the story exciting. Anyone who has an interest in political ideologies will surely appreciate the book and feel sympathy for the citizens, if not anger towards the lords. While I also think that the LGBTQ community will relate to the work. Overall, the book offered multitudes of lessons covering different aspects of life while accompanied by a little bit of sexual humor.
