Review of 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 by Matthew Tsyz is the second book in a series. This means that many of its plot elements and world require knowledge from the first book in the series We are Voulhire in order to fully understand and enjoy. This book centres around events happening in and around Virko, the city of industry and money. Throughout the book, the reader is presented with snippets of different perspectives that slowly come together for the climax.
As Voulhire deals with the tragedy of one of its cities, the main characters Galen, Rowan and Demetrius travel to Virko on a trading mission where they become aware of a demon in Lord Hans Venden's house. When the Eiodi refuses to take them seriously, the trio makes a plan to get rid of the demon. At the same time, Meldorath sets foot in Virko with an agenda that is bound to clash with the plans of the city. Lord Kayden and Lord Hans both reflect on their time together as teenagers in different ways and are not sure whom they can trust. As Demetrius uncovers more about the demon, it becomes apparent that he is dealing with something darker than he originally thought. With Meldorath acting out his plans and the citizens of Virko growing warier by the day, it is of utmost importance to dispose of the demon. It is to hope that Demetrius alone is strong enough to take on the demon after its release because otherwise, it could result in the death of every citizen in Virko.
I must applaud Tsyz on his writing once again. The collection of snippets creates a unique and comprehensive insight into the events yet leave the reader wanting more. As the characters are shaped further, their intentions become somewhat clear. I found myself frequently trying to unravel the plot's mysteries, for example about the true intentions of both Lord Hans and Lord Kayden, making me turn page after page. One thing to note, though, is that the use of several characters in a short space of time can be confusing. However, once I got everything in order, I got through it in one sitting.
I have found no grammatical or spelling errors. Erotic acts are merely mentioned. The book does contain various instances of profanity and graphic descriptions of violence, which might be a problem for younger readers or people sensitive to such things. The book should be enjoyable regardless of a person's religion. Personally, I recommend the book to those who like fantasy and adventure.
We are Voulhire: The Fires of Virko has been well written with lots of action, keeping it fast-paced and exciting but still enjoyable to follow. It meets the expectations set by the first book and expands on its characters and universe. As a result, I’m giving this book a rating of 4 out of 4.
