Review of We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies
[Following is a volunteer review of "We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies" by Matthew Tysz.]
The first novel in the We Are Voulhire series is titled We Are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies by Matthew Tysz. Galen Bray, a refugee who fled his war-torn home and settled in Voulhire, a nation headed by a monarch formerly known as the Emperor of Lullabies, serves as the protagonist of the novel. The monarch assigns his four sons to separate islands, where they are provided with troops and weaponry to protect their newly acquired territory. As his great uncle passed away and left him a forge, Galen journeys to Voulhire. He arrives and learns a new way of life while attempting to run the forge. Meldorath, a formidable magician who still has sway in the realm, must be dealt with by the king of Voulhire in the meantime. The book focuses on creating the world, introducing the characters, explaining magic, and establishing the Voulhire kingdom's culture and customs. The story's overarching topic is creativity, science, and spirituality. The author has created a universe rich in profound description entwined with philosophy.
The book contains a multitude of excellent characteristics. The author makes excellent use of imagery to bring the characters to life and effortlessly combines complex personalities. Readers are drawn into the novel by the writing style, which gives them the impression that they are travelling with the protagonists to various locations. The book lays the groundwork for the series' fully realised culture, geography, economy, and history. The maps and directions in the images help readers visualise Voulhire's layout, which is another advantage. Each character has their own individual personality formed by their past and present experiences, and they are all well-developed, unpredictable characters. The characters in the book also engage in witty banter and jokes, which enhances their personality.
There are some elements of the book that some readers could find off-putting. Some readers could find it difficult to follow the author's writing style, which might make it tough to read past the first few pages. Due to the book's medieval-like setting, there is profanity, blood, and discussion of horrific acts throughout. Some readers might be turned off by the book's glacial pacing, but it makes sense given that it is the first book of a series. Also, it could be challenging to remember where the reader left off given the absence of numbered chapters and a content page. Finally, there are instances throughout the novel where the profanity used seems forced.
We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies is an intriguing start to the series that features a realistic and accessible plot while being set in a science fiction environment, well-developed and diversified characters, and revelations that will leave you pondering. The book deserves a perfect score of five out of five stars since it is unique, imaginative, well-written, and professionally edited with nearly no grammatical or spelling errors. With the various perspectives being recounted and split into chapters, the book flows perfectly. The author deserves praise for thinking and artistically creating and establishing the world for forthcoming books.
Everyone who likes fantasy and magic books with clever dialogue and vast worlds should definitely read We are Voulhire: A New Arrival under Great Skies. Both young adults and adults will like the novel, and I'm eager to read more in the series. I do, however, issue a warning to anyone who finds violence or vulgarity upsetting.

First! Thanks for the amazing review. You hinted us fully with the concept and your review was free-flow! I've read the book also, and it's a unique first of the series! The off parts of the book was the presence of too much profane languages and erotic scenes! But to be honest, the book is
