I've read some of Matthew Tysz's works previously and I can definitely say that he knows how to build worlds, characters and a comprehensive plot. I'm looking forward to checking out this new series!

Thank you for your review! Although fantasy isn't my usual genre, I'm going to give this one a try...I got my copy! I love that the author included a map, not only so readers get a sense of where everything is located while reading, but because it will also help me with visualization. With well-developed characters, realistic dialogue, and an engaging storyline, this BOTD is definitely going to become a quick favorite of many! Thanks again! :-)

I've read Tysz's books before and this seems like it has a similar approach with those I've read. I also commend the author with their use of simple language to paint vivid imagery. Their writing style struck me as unique and entertaining. Thank you for the great review!

I read this book and really enjoyed the shifting perspectives, which made the characters very endearing.

It seems like the author managed to create a full-fledged world with a map, inhabitants, and an exciting plot. This sounds like good fantasy to me! Great job with your review.

This book seems right up my alley. The well-developed characters and settings really catch my attention. I also like when the author includes a map. It means they've really thought through their world when building it.

Latest Review: The Mindset by Ace Bowers

Post by ankushavhad »

This is the first book in the series of We Are Voulhire by Matthew Tysz. The tale focusing on Galen Bray, who arrives on the land of the magical world, then the twists and turns keep you reading the chapters in succession! I too did a review of the same book a couple of months before. I rated, rather rated in temptation a 4/4 star for introducing key characters and the plot anticipating what next in the forthcoming books in the series taking Galen on lead.
Great review, Saint Bruno. Thanks.

I have started reading this book, and am disappointed that it is going to end with a cliff hanger. However, this common with books in a series and I am not surprised. Thank you for your review.

I'm not really drawn to fantasy books myself but it sounds like We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies is a real treat for fans of the genre. Thank you for your great review!

I'm on my third book on this series, and so far, all of them are very good. The plot is captivating, the world-building is immersive, and the character-development is exceptional. I strongly recommend this book to fans of epic fantasy. Great review!
