Blind Sided

The Irish End Game #4

by Susan Kiernan-Lewis

When the world comes crashing down around you, it’s important to believe in something… After four years of living in a post-apocalyptic world, one thing Mike and Sarah know is that nothing ever stays the same. Just when life had begun to settle down—and all their immediate needs met—a threat comes at them from a totally unexpected source. Not England or roaming bands of thugs, not the US or even the Middle East. This time it’s the land itself—the very bushes and trees of Ireland--that they’ll have to protect themselves from.

This is the fourth book of the Irish End Games and in every one, the main characters have battled some disaster/crisis to save their group but I never expected that the next problem would be with Druids and faeries. ;-) Always an exciting read! I enjoy the characters and the plots in each book. At the end of this book, there are already signs of the next crisis coming but I need a break to recover from the excitement before beginning book #5.

I read books 1&2 and had no particular intention to read books 3&4 of this series. But Jamie had them sitting around in her Nook account, so oh well . I really had been thinking of rating this a two star, but she managed to gin up a suspenseful enough conflict situation near the end to get me turning pages a little faster, so I relented.

But most of the interesting part about this series ended with Book 1. That was the whole part about these modern computer dependent Americans being stranded in a rural Ireland that had been driven back into 1800's level technologies by an EMP bomb wiping out all electric and electronic devices. So they had to learn a whole lot of old fashioned ways of life- cooking whole food from scratch, tending animals and gardens. There is a theme about the loss of modern tech being a gain as much as a loss, reinstating a healthier, more wholesome, community oriented lifestyle.

But we got that point a long time ago. The rest is just Sarah over and over being a combination of McGyver and an Amazon warrior and single handedly rescuing everyone. The book endings are pat and tidy and implicit from the beginnings. This book had little new to add, except different enemies to fight. Next up (Book 5) the plague.

Susan Kiernan-Lewis has done what I was beginning to think was impossible...she wrote a series of books that is not only interesting but also a great read. as an avid reader there is nothing worse than starting a book and being able to predict the ending by the end if the first chapter. Lewis's gift of storytelling has made a devoted fan of this reader!

I could not get through the Irish End Games series fast enough. This series goes down as one of my favorites. Very fast paced. You fall in love with the characters and you feel for what they are going through. This series had me hooked from the start, and I can't wait for each book to come out so I can continue to read what happens next.......

Best of This Series

This book was more original than the others have been. I like that the threat comes from Druids. In times like those, there would be religious type 'crazies' happen, I'm sure.

I am really enjoying this series, but wouldn't you think in this modern age, after 4 years, some help would have been sent to Ireland? The rest of the world is functioning normally.

Not as good as the first book!

[Kerri Paul]
