In We Are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies, Matthew Tysz masterfully creates a detailed and immersive world, where kingdoms, magic, and political tensions collide. The story revolves around two main characters: Galen Bray, a war refugee seeking refuge in Voulhire, and Eldus Alderman, tasked with transforming Hillport under foreboding conditions. As their paths intersect, the narrative reveals a complex and vividly imagined realm on the cusp of chaos, drawing readers into a richly textured world of wonder and intrigue.
 
Galen Bray's fresh start in Voulhire is marked by his inheritance of his uncle's forge, but his quest for serenity is soon disrupted by the complexities of an unfamiliar kingdom. Meanwhile, Eldus Alderman's mission to revitalize Hillport is haunted by the dark legacy of past tragedies and the mysterious influence of the feared mage, Meldorath. As these characters navigate their paths, the story exposes a world on the brink of chaos, driven by political machinations, magical powers, and simmering tensions.
 
I thoroughly enjoyed the book's character-driven approach, where each individual's story was expertly woven together, allowing for a deep understanding of their unique perspectives. The error-free writing was a notable plus. The characters' complexity and relatability made their interconnected stories a joy to follow, creating a rich and engaging narrative. The author's meticulous world-building and well-balanced pacing drew me in, making for a captivating read. The perfect blend of action, depth, and philosophical themes added layers to the story, leaving me eager to continue exploring the vast world of Voulhire.
 
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, finding it error-free and well-edited, and I didn’t have any dislikes. The writing style, font, and character introductions were all skillfully done, making for a flawless and captivating read. I’m awarding this book a 5 out of 5 stars. If magic and adventure are your passions, then I recommend this book for you, offering a captivating journey into a world of wonder and excitement.
