Review of We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies
When it comes to magical fantasy, I'm always curious to learn more. Many people believe that magic does not exist. However, as I read this book, I realized that magic was a concept used to describe a mode of rationality.
The Lands of the Princes was a nation ruled by a wicked king. He had caused his people unimaginable suffering. The king, sensing that his sons were plotting to overthrow him, caused chaos among them, preventing them from achieving their goal. Galen had lived through war his entire life. Fortunately, he had been named an heir to his uncle's business in another country. He had finally found a reason to live after years of suffering. He escaped from his country on a ship sailing to the new country without hesitation. What awaits him in the new city? Will he be successful there? To find out, read this book.
The first book in the We are Voulhire series, We are Voulhire: A New Arrival Under Great Skies, was enjoyable to read. The plot and magical actions of the story reminded me of one of my favorite movies, the Harry Potter series. The chapters were kept short, and each narration in the story was given a title. Mattew Tysz had a way with words that helped me visualize the story and understand it. Most notably, when he described Galen's first view of the new city, it resembled what was on the cover of the book.
I was impressed by the author's work with the protagonist's character. As the story progressed, his character developed gradually. He grew from a frail young man to a fearless man willing to confront his fears. I was encouraged by the captain of the ship's kind gestures to the protagonist. He didn't know who the protagonist was, but he was willing to defend him at any cost. It taught me to help anyone, no matter who they are.
There were a few things about the book that I didn't like. I was irritated by the character of the chancellor, Midius Maido. He was a bad influence. His statements contained dark humor and obscene language. Furthermore, the book had a large number of undeveloped characters. While reading the book, going back and forth trying to remember those characters was difficult for me .
In general, the book was excellently written and exceptionally well edited. Because of the fantastic plot, I would gladly give the book 4 out of 4 stars. If you enjoy reading about magical fantasy and mystery, this book is definitely for you.
