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.]
"We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies" by Matthew Tysz is a captivating fantasy that takes readers on an immersive journey into the enchanting kingdom of Voulhire. Set against the backdrop of the Lands of the Princes, four islands gifted by the Emperor of Lullabies to divert threats on his own life, the story weaves a complex tale of war, immigration, and the quest for identity.
At the center of this fantastical world is Galen Bray, a twenty-eight-year-old native of the tumultuous Lands of the Princes. As the sole heir to his late great uncle's forge in Voulhire, Galen embarks on a transformative journey, seeking refuge from the chaos of his homeland. The narrative beautifully unfolds as Galen navigates his new life, embodying his grandmother's sage advice to "see the good in everything."
One of the strengths of the book lies in the masterful development of multiple plot threads. Galen's personal journey is seamlessly intertwined with the intricacies of Voulhire's dual worlds, the mystery surrounding Lord Meldorath's eviction, and the supernatural events within Meldorath's castle. This multi-layered approach keeps readers engaged, offering a rich and rewarding reading experience.
The author's courage in addressing real-world issues like pedophilia and immigration adds depth to the fantasy narrative, elevating it beyond a typical adventure tale. These elements contribute to the story's complexity, making it not only an entertaining read but also a thought-provoking one.
The review also commends the exceptional editing of the book, ensuring a smooth and error-free reading experience. Such attention to detail enhances the overall quality of the narrative.
While the caution about sexually-charged scenes and profanity is appreciated, providing a bit more detail about these elements could help readers assess whether the book aligns with their preferences. This information can be presented in a way that maintains the integrity of the plot while offering transparency to potential readers.
Looking forward to future installments in the We are Voulhire series, this review serves as a testament to the book's immersive storytelling, well-developed characters, and its ability to tackle real-world issues within the realm of fantasy. "We are Voulhire" is a must-read for adult fans of fantasy and adventure, offering a unique and engaging experience that goes beyond the conventional boundaries of the genre.
