Galen Bray has been living in the Land of the Princess, which has been locked up in civil wars for a very long time. When an opportunity to escape this hell arises, he doesn't hesitate. His late blacksmith uncle, who owned a forge in Magnum Caelum, sends a financier (Rowan) to bring Galen to Voulhire to inherit the family forging business. Meanwhile, Voulhire has its own share of troubles. Lord Meldorath, a powerful mage, has been cast out of the kingdom, and he is uniting the Riva Rohavi (a rebellious organization that wants to see Voulhire completely destroyed). They attack Hillport and put Lord Eldus and his family at risk. Will any survivors be left out of the bloody Riva Rohavi attacks? Read what happens next in We Are Voulhire: A New Arrival Under Great Skies by Matthew Tysz.

There are some scenes I found interesting and funny—for instance, at the High Forum of Law in Soulhire. During the court hearing of a case involving an old man practicing bio magic (the magic that involves direct manipulation of the body on a cellular level), a woman convulsed, and as her husband was trying to help her, the old man told him that she was not having a heart attack but her first real orgasm since she married her. This was funny, and I couldn't help but laugh out loud. I also couldn't help smiling when Galen seemed naive and innocent; he asked silly questions and made comments that sounded silly.

I enjoyed how the events unfolded and the use of suspense throughout the novel. It sustained my interest, and I couldn't help but want to read and know more about what happened. I was also fascinated by the scenes that had the use of magic—for instance, in the introductory part of the book, where Lord Meldorath fights Lord Orlin's soldiers using magic as they tried to capture him.

I give this book four out of four stars because the book was very interesting to read, and it captured my attention throughout. The author's ability to use suspense also added a touch of thrill. Also, the sense of humor was great. I starkly don't have any reason for rating it lower than four because there's nothing I disliked about the book. The book was perfectly edited. I found no grammatical errors.

I would recommend this book to readers who love suspense thrillers that have the use of magic or supernatural powers.

I might consider this book for my next read. The event of the old man's convulsion in your review has cracked me up. Nice review!
