In the Land of the Princes, survival boiled down to facing the sword's edge or succumbing to a protracted famine. This reflection from Galen Bray succinctly encapsulates the dire circumstances in his native land. When presented with an opportunity to transition to a different realm and assume control of his uncle's property, Galen embraced it willingly.

After a lengthy sea voyage, he encountered Rowan, his uncle's executor, at an inn in Magnum Caelum, marking the end of Rowan's perilous six-month quest to locate him. Voulhire, a realm seemingly mundane harbors individuals with extraordinary abilities, hinting at impending transformations.

Midius Maido, the eminent High Chancellor of the Mianoran Council, raises questions about the origins and extent of his influence by Matthew Tysz, We Are Voulhire: A New Arrival Under Great Skies ventures into the realm of fantasy, illustrating the costly nature of hope and the profound significance of seizing an opportunity for meaningful achievement. The narrative unfolds through the perspectives of Galen Bray from first- and third-person points of view.

A compelling narrative that not only introduces readers to novel settings and characters but also instills a sense of familiarity that transcends mere storytelling. Matthew exceeds this benchmark, providing a thorough understanding of Voulhire's underlying dynamics and delving into the characters' motivations. Observing Galen's journey reveals the impact of external forces on unforeseen changes. Moreover, the story intertwines unexpected twists that reshape its trajectory, culminating in a remarkably surprising and gratifying conclusion.

Beyond its entertainment value, the book prompts contemplation on significant issues. What constitutes unification? How much is necessary for the realization of nationalism? Where does the line blur, and what befalls dissenting voices? Through these revelations, the author skillfully alters perspectives on certain characters, challenging the dichotomy of good and bad. If you appreciate stories infused with satire that provoke thoughtful reflection, "We Are Voulhire: A New Arrival Under Great Skies" is a must-read.

My rating for this captivating book is 5 out of 5 stars, and I found no aspects to dislike. The book's gripping nature, as evidenced by my difficulty putting it down, attests to its compelling narrative. It will undoubtedly resonate with fantasy enthusiasts and is suitable for readers aged fifteen and above. I found no errors, showing how well-edited it is.

The protagonist undergoes a life changing experience. I like that the protagonist wasn't fazed by the difficulties faced.

Galen Bray's journey from the Land of the Princes to a new realm, prompted by the choice between the sword's edge and famine, adds a sense of urgency and survival to the narrative. Nice review by the way.

I was given this book to review a few months ago and sadly I encountered an error and couldn't review it but I went ahead to read it. We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies is an exceptional book that encapsulates the reader right from the first page till the end. Gary's life and journey shows the hardship that he's faced and how his emotions are justified, how Rowan his executioner finally finds him after 6 months of perilous search, the travails of the king of voulhire and the most feared and powerful man in the realm who's held prisoner but presumed dead by all of the country. The betrayals, humor, love, adventure are all topnotch and I loved every bit of the book
