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" is an enthralling fantasy novel that intricately weaves a tapestry of captivating plot threads, immersing readers in the richly detailed world of Voulhire. The author exhibits masterful storytelling skills by seamlessly developing various narrative elements that contribute to a wholesome portrayal of life in this fantastical realm.
The central narrative revolves around Galen's quest to learn the blacksmith trade, a journey that unfolds with depth and nuance. Galen's character is instantly relatable, and his commitment to embodying his grandmother's wisdom, "See the good in everything, and the best of it will find you" (page 15, fourth paragraph), adds a touching layer to the story. This thematic thread, exploring positivity in the face of adversity, becomes a personal favorite.
In parallel with Galen's adventures, the author introduces and adeptly interconnects other compelling threads. The dual worlds of Cosmos and Caromentis, the mystery surrounding Lord Meldorath's eviction, supernatural events within Meldorath's castle, and the enigmatic gift of a lactis iron rod to Galen by a mysterious mage all contribute to a multi-faceted and gripping narrative.
What sets this fantasy novel apart is its willingness to address substantial real-world issues. The author fearlessly delves into topics such as pedophilia and immigration from warring states, adding layers of complexity and depth to the story. This bold narrative choice elevates the book beyond a typical fantasy tale, providing readers with food for thought.
Moreover, the book is exceptionally well-edited, maintaining a high standard of quality. There are no discernible errors, allowing readers to fully immerse themselves in the narrative without distraction. Every episode is thoroughly enjoyable, and as a reader, I happily award this book a well-deserved 5 out of 5 stars.
As the inaugural installment in the "We are Voulhire" series, this book sets a promising tone for future adventures. Anticipation builds for the continuation of Galen's journey and the exploration of the intricacies within Voulhire. In conclusion, "We Are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies" is recommended to a broad adult audience, but potential readers should be aware of mild sexually-charged scenes and occasional profanity, making it unsuitable for children.
