Name of the book: We are Voulhire: A New Arrival Under Great Skies

Author’s name: Matthew Tysz

Summary: The story revolves around science and imagination. One may believe in one thing more than other, but the truth is that both of them have been a part of human civilization in some or the other way. Each playing an important role in itself. 'We are Voulhire' is one such book from seven books of the series, written to express certain emotions of humans. Throughout the history, there have been certain incidences where the actions of humans were driven by some defined emotions, which in turn decided the faith of people of that era. The emotions varied from that of love to hate, greed to revenge and much more. One thing that I found out about ‘emotions’ is, it touches you deeply even though it is abstract. The central character of the story Galen Bray decides to leave his home which was destructed from ongoing war and migrate to his new found home, Voulhire. Voulhire doesn’t disappoint Galen at all. The prosperous nation and it’s people makes him one of them within no time, which leaves him thinking why is it now that he received all these colors of life. Galen’s adventure in Voulhire teaches us the importance of courage in life, had it not been the instincts of Galen, that guided him to board the ship at the very last moment, he would have never seen what God has left for him in this mortal world.

Positive: I liked how the war scenes in battlefields are depicted. One of them stays imprinted in my mind, in which the chief of an army of soldiers picks up an armor’s helmet from the ground thinking it to be forgotten by a soldier, which is considered a menial act, but instead of just the helmet he finds a head inside it (meaning the soldier that the helmet belonged to, was beheaded in the war and the troop members abandoned the upper part of the soldier in the battlefield). The author describes it as, two eyes gawking at the chief from the helmet and takes the chief aback. The story flows as if one's listening the story via an experienced story teller, who weaves the wool like words magically into story without letting the listener beware of the time. I really liked how I enjoyed reading this book, even though it was an online version of the book which I am usually lazy to read. It's very intriguing to keep reading the book when some suspense unfolds. This is the main reason which keeps the readers glued to the book.

Negative: The violent acts from the battlefield depicted in the book are somewhat discouraging and leaves a reader in awe but otherwise I didn't find anything in the book that can be noted into the negative section. To keep the real vibes of the book alive it is also important to write with that emotion as well, to give readers insight of it.

Rating: 5 out of 5

Justifications: The story line of the book plus the fact that this book is apt to children to read makes me rate this book a five on five.

Errors: The book is well edited. I didn't find any error in the book
