Review of We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies
The fantastical land of Voulhire is a place of wonder and splendor, where prosperity and tranquility have flourished for many years. However, a sinister force threatens to upend this idyllic existence in the form of a malevolent ex-magistrate who craves nothing more than to ignite chaos and upheaval. As the kingdom teeters on the brink of destruction, a young orphan named Galen arrives in Voulhire as a refugee, forced to navigate the unfamiliar and often treacherous landscape as he seeks to find his place in this strange new world. In the face of great danger and uncertainty, Galen must draw upon all of his strength and resilience in order to survive and thrive in this wondrous realm. The novel We Are Voulhire: A New Arrival Under Great Skies by Matthew Tysz invites readers to join Galen on his journey of self-discovery and adventure as he fights to protect the peace and security of the magical kingdom of Voulhire.
As the pages of We Are Voulhire: A New Arrival Under Great Skies unfold, readers are treated to a veritable feast of captivating characters, each of whom brings their own unique flair and personality to the story. In this rich and immersive tale, the intricate world of Voulhire is brought to vivid life, with its sprawling cities, complex economy, political maneuverings, and spiritual practices all intricately woven into the fabric of the narrative.
The innovative storytelling format employed by Matthew Tysz serves to heighten the mystery and suspense of the tale, as an invisible narrator guides readers through the perspectives of most characters. At the same time, Galen's journey is told through the more intimate lens of first-person narration. This clever structure allows for the gradual revelation of the true motives of some characters, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the already engaging plot.
Overall, We Are Voulhire is a captivating and well-written fantasy adventure that is sure to appeal to fans of magic, mystery, and suspense. The vivid imagery, well-developed characters, and rich world-building make for an immersive reading experience, and the simple but elegant writing style ensures a smooth and enjoyable read.
While there may be a slight drop in intensity towards the end of the book, and some readers may find the language of certain characters to be anachronistic, these issues do not significantly impact the overall enjoyment of the book. With a rating of 5 out of 5, We Are Voulhire is highly recommended to anyone looking for an exciting and engaging fantasy read. In conclusion, I found no fault in this book.
