Re: Review of We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies

Post by Nwaka Chukwuemeka »

The first installment of an adventure series is We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies by Matthew. The story then switches to a man named Galen's spontaneous adventure after an unsuccessful attack on Castle Hillport by a strong mage. Galen is from the Land of Princes, a region ravaged by conflict and poverty for many years. What I cherished most was the collaboration between Galen and his uncle.

I love reading fantasy novels and I think I might like it mainly because of what you said in the review with it having "the ability to introduce readers to a new setting and leave them like they have known it all along". I agree, that is exactly what fantasy novel does to you. I also like the fact that this novel leaves you with more questions than answers. Thank you such an amazing review.

I am not a fantasy fan, but I am sure those who are will enjoy this book. It has been BOTD several times with OBC, and the entire series has been popular with the reviewers! I almost feel as if I know Galen just from reading excerpts of this book! I don't think fantasy fans will be disappointed when they read this one! Thanks for the great review!

Since this is a fantasy book, I am already thinking of reading it. I liked that the author is able to describe with accuracy, what the characters are going through.

I've read this book and the next two books of the We are Voulhire series. The world-building in these books is breathtaking. And amongst other things, I love Galen's character development.

You are an excellent writer! You summarized this in a unique way and drew me in. I’m not much for sci-fi, but you convinced me to give this one a shot. Nice job!

“The fact that I found it hard to put the book down once I started reading it proves that it is gripping” ,this must be a very good book. The sample on kindle is in agreement with the reviewer’s statement, it was indeed hard to put it down as it is very exhilarating.
