We are Voulhire: A New Arrival beneath Great Skies is a made-up fantasy book. There is a mixture of violence, drama, sarcastic humor, magic, and politics. The three sons of the Emperor of Lullabies are in charge of the three separate nations that make up the so-called Land of the Princes. To avoid war between these sons, the emperor split the nation into three. However, this does not satisfy their insatiable appetites, which is why every nation experiences conflicts, sorrow, and anguish.

Galen Bray is an orphan originally from the Land of the Princes. Rowan, his uncle Onita's executor, helped him leave this terrible place and go back to Magnum Caelum. The manager of the forge will be Galen. King Wilhelm of Voulhire is making every attempt to mend the tragic history of Hillport town by appointing Lord Eldus Alderman. But considering that Meldorath, the king's foe, is said to be on the run, would this be feasible? What function does Meldorath serve here? What part will Galen play in all of this?

This novel is really suspenseful, to start. We don't know what will happen or how things will turn out. The remainder of the series is pretty nonsensical, except from the minimal action presented here by Matthew Tysz. That is what adds interest to a story. My attention is really focused on what is about to happen. Is there a chance of war? Galen shouldn't be in Voulhire at that time, so why is he there? I can't wait till the next book in the series is out. The author did a fantastic job at detailing each action and occurrence.

My favorite fictional character is Lord Eldus. He is modest and mindful of his neighborhood. Sadly, despite my great hopes for him, he didn't come out the way I had imagined he would. Pick up this to help you grasp what I'm saying. This wonderful novel will capture the reader's interest.

Despite the fact that I liked most of it, there was one aspect of this novel that I didn't like. The leisurely pace of the first episode gave the impression that it served as an introduction to the rest of the show. This gave the impression that each character had been summarized by the author. There wasn't much to the whole narrative other than this.

There were a few grammatical errors, Another round of editing will do. However, Vulgar language is often used. The book doesn't include any graphic scenes, although Gowan does make some inappropriate sexual comments. I'll rate this at 5 out of 5 stars. It was enjoyable for me to read this book. As I said previously, I'd love to read the next chapter.

Due to certain vivid and violent situations, I'll particularly suggest this to adult minds. If you like fantasy fiction, this is for you. The author included a glossary at the conclusion, so you don't have to be concerned about the novel's strange vocabulary.
