The first book in the fantasy series We Are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies by Matthew Tysz is an intriguing introduction to the mysterious world of Voulhire. The tale focuses on a young man named Galen Bray, who flees his war-torn home in search of a better life in the bustling town of Magnem Caelum. There, he discovers he has inherited a blacksmith’s shop from an uncle he never knew existed.

The kingdom of Voulhire is a mesmerizing world of magic, political schemes, and dark secrets. As Galen adjusts to his new life, he discovers the many facets of this kingdom, including the powerful role of magic and the lingering presence of Lord Meldorath, a feared mage whose influence still holds sway, even in death. The story takes readers on a journey through this mysterious and enchanting world, where nothing is as it seems.

The book's strength lies in its intricate and immersive world-building. Tysz breathes life into the kingdom of Voulhire, making it feel like a real place with its own history, culture, and magic. The characters are complex and well-crafted, each with their own role to play in the unfolding narrative. The plot is full of surprises and twists, keeping readers hooked from beginning to end.

While the book introduces a large cast of characters and locations that may be difficult to keep track of, it serves as a solid foundation for the series, laying the groundwork for future events. The story's blend of magic, mystery, and political intrigue makes it an engaging read for fantasy enthusiasts. The book's mature themes and complex storytelling make it well-suited for adult readers, but its thrilling adventure and compelling plot will leave readers eager to dive into the next book in the series.

I appreciate the author for writing such an excellent review with exceptional editing quality. There were no loopholes or reasons to dislike this book, therefore earning it a rating of 5 out of 5 stars. I recommend this book to readers who enjoy fantasy filled with rich world-building, magic, and intriguing characters, offering a thrilling start to an epic adventure.
