We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies is the first installment in the series We are Voulhire by Matthew Tysz. The story revolves around Galen, a refugee who lived all of his life in the Land of the Princes. He leaves for Voulhire hoping to live a respectful life and continue his great uncle's legacy as a blacksmith. Accompanied by Rowan, he slowly discovers more about himself and this mysterious land. The perspective switches from first to third person to view various people across Voulhire. It allows readers to witness the events occurring with King Wilhelm, Chancellor Maido of Mianora, Lord Eldus of Hillport, Vidius of Riva, and the infamous mage, Meldorath. During Galen's journey to gather iron to learn about his great uncle's craft, some forces plot to attack the kingdom. Can the king trust the Mianoran Council? Is staying in prison part of Meldorath's plan? What exactly is Meldorath capable of accomplishing? Unvisited worlds, corrupted lords, sinful kings, manipulative mages, and more await in this 17th century themed book.

This first book provides the reader with a proper understanding of Voulhire and its people. The characters did not have the chance to develop entirely yet, but I found each of them to have motives, desires, and distinct personalities, all of which justified their actions. I loved seeing what Lord Eldus had in mind for his people. His son, Marshus, captivated me with his stories and acts. Galen was a well-mannered and relatable young man. Rowan's knowledge of the lands and his ability to manipulate situations to his advantage appealed to me. It is rational to say I found Chancellor Maido and the king's son despicable. The Riva's motive was to oppress, and their methods of achieving it were brutal; this makes it difficult to believe their motive was once freedom.

Additionally, the story displayed an immense depth to it. The world-building proved to be one of the best; each town had experience in its specific craft and delivered an entirely different atmosphere. I quickly became fond of the picturesque Soulhire, Voulhire's capital. The author did not fail to weave clues into his descriptive writing, further captivating readers and adding mystery to the story. Although it is not a fast-paced read, it undoubtedly contains enough suspense to grab readers' attention and tempt them into reading the next book in this series. The themes of betrayal, fear, revenge, and friendship permeate this novel.

Although this was a satisfying read, there were some negatives. I found the timeline to be vague occasionally, with no indication of how many days had passed. Because the book resembles an episode, the story develops slowly. It was odd to experience but was not necessarily a bad thing. The multiple sexual jokes distracted me, and I found them unpleasant.

I found the positives to far outweigh the negatives. I am delighted to give this book a score of four out of four stars. I did not encounter a single error, proving it was an exceptionally well-edited book. Because of the presence of brutality and obscenity, this book is strictly for mature readers. Fans of fantasy, mystery, and adventure will particularly enjoy this read. I will gladly resume the journey into the vast world of Voulhire and enjoy the rest of this remarkable series.
