[i][Following is a volunteer review of "We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies" by Matthew Tysz.][/i]

[rwc=id373763-125]4 out of 4 stars.[/rwc][i]We are Voulhire: A New Arrival Under Great Skies[/i] by Matthew Tysz is a pretty good choice if you, like me, enjoy the sci-fi and fantasy genre. This is a read that will pique your interest from the beginning and until the very end. In a clever narrative, the author tells and develops simultaneously the journey of different characters with one thing in common: the same location.



In a kingdom established centuries ago by King Saint Idus, who fought tirelessly to bring Voulhire to what it is known today, a strong stable land with countless riches. Which for generations now, thousands of people have put their trust in, as well as the following dynasties, to continue bringing order, growing, and safety to them and their families. Now, King Wilhelm Arcolo actual ruler of the land faces the challenges that come with the power of the crown. In a time where corruption, manipulation, and the hunger for power are present more than ever before.



We have on one hand Galen Bray, who is set to start a new life away from what he has always known in the Lands of the Princes; a life of war and scarcity; heading to Magnum Caleum where he will learn and take over the forge business that was inherited from his uncle.



On the other hand, Lord Eldus, who has taken over the lordship of a very poor and hopeless town called Hillport; and is set in company with his family to help the place recover from the aftermath of traumatic past experiences with their previous lords.



Meanwhile, Dalehei Meldorath, also known as Lord Meldorath. A powerful mage that after being sent away to die, his name still makes people tremble in fear and, could be the main threat to King Wilhelm's attempts to keep the kingdom safe and at peace.



With all this, and portraying a detailed picture of the country, its background, long-standing traditions, religious convictions, and political affairs. The author makes sure that you get a glimpse and a good understanding of each one of them. A well as its position in the Cosmos, being a part of the multiverse; along with the Caromentis, which is the world of magic; and explaining how they are all connected.



I really liked reading this book. It was pretty easy to understand and follow up with the story. As the plot thickens and unexpected things start unfolding, it is quite difficult to put it away. It does contain mild profanity and some sexual references, as well as violence. Other than that, it is pretty enjoyable.



I don’t think there is one thing I dislike about this book. And for that, I would rate it a [b]4 out of 4 stars[/b]. If any, I would definitely recommend it and keep on with the series. Seems like a promising read and with a lot more to learn and discover.
