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.]
War has numerous consequences. Apart from murders, poverty and starvation are other significant consequences. Galen Bray, the main character in Matthew Tysz's story We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies, escapes his country to the town of Magnum Caelum, in a country named Voulhire, because of war and its effects in his homeland. Rowan, his late uncle's administrator, meets him and assists him inherit his uncle's steel forge business. Voulhire appears to be tranquil at first. This land, unlike the Land of Princes, has peace and plenty of food. However, Meldorath, one of the former Lords of Hillport, is a danger to the territory. King Wilhelm, King of Voulhire, had commanded Meldorath's arrest following the mismanagement of Hillport town through the use of magic. It was then declared that he died before arriving for trial. However, rumor had it that Meldorath was still alive. The king assigns Lord Eldus Alderman to take over the town of Hillport. Hillport is also at risk of being invaded by Riva Rohavi rebels.
This novel had several aspects that I appreciated. It was brilliant of the author to include the map of Voulhire. It helped me picture the kingdom and its cities. It also made the story look less fictitious. He also did well by describing the characters separately before beginning the story, which made it much simpler to understand. The use of grocery also improved my comprehension because I could look up the definition of some words when I didn't grasp them. There was some humor in the tale, particularly from Rowan, which made it more vibrant. This novel's events are also realistic. Even if a society appears to be peaceful and calm, there are always threats that will come out later, as was the case in Voulhire. There was suspense at the end of the story, which piqued my interest in reading the second book in the series.
The only thing I didn't like about this book was that it didn't have a table of contents and the chapters weren't numbered. I also struggled to comprehend the first few pages of the novel because the story took time to develop.
This work was superbly proofread, and I found no grammatical errors. I only had a few complaints that did not impact my rating. As a result, I give it 5 out of 5 stars.
I would suggest this novel to fantasy fans. I will recommend that military people read the book because it includes useful advice on dealing with insurgents.
