Review of We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies
[Following is a volunteer review of "We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies" by Matthew Tysz.]
The book We Are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies by Matthew Tyez portrays a gripping and thrilling science fiction story that will capture the reader's attention. The story follows the life experience of Galen as well as the political, social, and economic activities of the four cities of Voulhire. Voulhire is commonly known for its wealth and stability. The country earned respect from the neighboring countries, and nobody dared to disturb the peace that the Voulhirians enjoyed until it happened. As you follow through the plot, you will notice a couple of times when the country experienced mysterious and scandalous episodes.
Leaving the lands of princes was a relief to Galen. To him, it felt like arriving at a new beginning. True to the words in the subtitle of the book A New Arrival under Great Skies, Galen is a newbie in Voulhire, the great land.
Let us have a brief history of the Lands of Princes. A wise, wicked, and powerful emperor (Emperor of Lullabies) had four sons. The sons were selfish and greedy, qualities that their father abhorred. Emperor of Lullabies decided to give each son a portion of land on an island far away from his kingdom. This was to prevent the sons from succeeding in their evil schemes against him, hence the Lands of Princes.
The purpose of the departure from the Lands of Princes was to head to Magnum Caelum, one of the Voulhire cities, and take over his uncle's business and other properties. Being new in the city of Magnum Caelum, Galen needed help from the city mayor and his uncle's executor to have all his uncle's properties documents signed under his name. You can grab a copy to find out what happened to the mission and many more exciting yet shocking events about Voulhire.
At the beginning of the story, the author portrays the protagonist (Galen) as someone who originated from a humble background. Galen possesses a humble attitude, which seems natural. You can sense his humble attitude in his statements when speaking to fellow men. He also expresses gratitude, especially when a stranger offers to help him. He is also interested to know more about the people he cares for or heard about. For instance, he asked questions about his uncle to know what he was like, which indicates that he values his family and friends more than anything else.
The creativity in the plot is exciting. Two worlds are created in the fantasy universe formulated by the author. They are Cosmos, the physical world, and Caromentis, the magical world. The lives of some characters from these two worlds crossed each other, and the outcome of their interaction was exciting. The unethical and monstrous aspects of some characters from Cosmos are that they adopted magical powers and cunning tricks from mages in Caromentis and experimented with them on innocent people. How sad?
I like the organization of the plot. The author begins by introducing the protagonist, taking the reader through his voyage at sea to his destination. Each segment in the book highlights a character and the activities they are involved in. This style of thought arrangement is unique and less confusing because the reader can get to know each character in detail and understand the message conveyed in each scene.
A lengthy part of the story is narrated from protagonist's perspective, and then the other parts of the narration are made up of the dialogues from other characters featured in the story. This writing style seems credible because the narration is not influenced by one perspective, allowing room for multiple view points. It also makes the story seem more elaborate, authentic, and natural. I did not find any grammatical errors, which is a plus. A few profane terms are present in the plot. If you hate profanity, kindly skip the book. Although this is not a religious book, certain sections examine the roles of religious leaders and their impact on Voulhire society. The rich record of the geographical view of the various cities and towns featured in the novel will captivate you. These descriptions made the events in the story sound realistic and exciting. The message conveyed in the story is that wicked men are selfish and have no conscience. I rate the book at 4 out of 4 stars.
If you are looking for a science fiction book flooded with fantasy and adventurous events, here is your ideal choice. If you don't like mages in your stories, cursive words, sexual slang, or magic tricks, you may want to avoid this book.
