The first book in the Voulhire series is called "We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies," written by Matthew Tysz. The idea combines science fiction, fantasy, adventure, and drama aspects into a complex storyline. The story is narrated from a third-person, omnipresent point of view, jumping around between characters. You can readily picture the imaginary world of Voulhire using a map supplied at the beginning of the book. I appreciated how the author handled such a complicated plot with such elegance. The personalities were varied and intricately detailed. The creation of the planet was excellent, and the narrative accurately portrayed the historical context in which it was situated. As I continue the series, I will be interested in the social politics this novel involves.

A formidable general, Dalehei Meldorath was friendly with King Wilhelm of Voulhire. However, it turns out that he was capable of much more than merely leading an army; he was a strong wizard or magician, capable of amazing feats. Monarch Wilhelm becomes terrified as a result of these skills, which include his ability to repel terrorists known as the Riva Rohavi during his tenure as a commander and lord. The monarch then betrays his close friend, staining his name in Voulhire and sending him into exile. But Meldorath has prepared a counterattack, as Matthew Tysz's "We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies" reveals.

The gradual buildup was what I found objectionable. Although the characters and locations were still being defined, I recognize that this was the first episode of the series. However, because there wasn't much going on, there are certain passages that are quite painful to read. Thankfully, it made up for it in the middle when things started to gather up speed. With any luck, the pace improves with the following book. Additionally, I thought that some of the characters' word choices seemed out of place in the ancient surroundings since they were casual and contemporary. It was professionally edited with zero errors. Therefore, I’ll rate it 5 out of 5 stars and suggest it to those who enjoy fantasy and historically themed books.

This is a side of the novel that I haven’t seen discussed before. It would be horrible to be a King so afraid of a fellow ruler. Not only for himself, but also for his people. Thanks!
