We are Voulhire: Fires of Virko is a fictional book written by Matthew Tysz. This is the second book in the series. The story focuses on the life of Galen Bray and the town of Virko. His journey was that of self-discovery.

Galen Bray teamed up with Roman and Demetrius as they set forth to acquire quality iron for the establishment of Galen’s forgery in Magnum Caelum. Their search for quality iron led them to Virko.Virko is an industrious city where various powers are busy fighting for dominance. The Lord of Virko, Lord Venden Hrelek had a son, Folcro, who had been possessed by an unknown spirit. The Lord needed them to help save his son and in return, they will get the precious metal they needed. Little did they know they were about to uncover a power tussle between secret forces over the town. What will be their role in this? What is the fate of the town? Reading this book will provide answers to these questions.

The book was written in a tone that was fun to read. The storyline and the introduction of new characters were well executed. New characters were introduced flawlessly, as they did not look lost in the book. The character of Folcro was introduced in this second book in the series and enough background stories were provided in a way that readers would not be bored and would get to empathise with him. Each of the characters provided by the author was unique and likeable, and this made it easy for readers to show empathy to all of them. The bond and playfulness that exists between Galen, Roman and Demetrius were fun to read. This made me enjoy reading their part in this book. The author wrote the story in the third-person’s perspective, and the part of Galen was written in the first person’s perspective. This allowed readers to have access to the thought and emotions of Galen, the protagonist. All these made me enjoy this book.

The book has many characters in it which made it difficult to remember some of them and their roles. This is the only thing I disliked, and this did not affect the flow of the story. The book was exceptionally edited as no error was noticed. It can also be read as a standalone.

Therefore, I rate this book 4 out of 4 stars. This is because I enjoyed every aspect of the book and it kept me at the edge of my seat throughout. I will recommend this book to lovers of science-fictional novels.
