I love the interplay of modern technology with it's limitations in the rural environment, making a gripping story set in present day. I think many people in the USA do not realize there are places cell phones don't work, and that knowledge of compass and maps can still be very useful. It is exciting to see how the author gets her characters in and out of trouble, realistically. even tho the characters themselves are fantasy. Hmm, very interesting. I guess you will just have to read them.

The Fear and the Solace The Kyrennei Series Book Two edition by Arie Farnam Mystery Thriller Suspense eBooks Reviews

This is the second in the Kyrennei series and it is just as good as the first. It picks up where the last book left off, with Aranka separated from her friends and being hunted by the Addin who control the world behind the scenes. I personally recommend reading the first book before this one as it helps to understand the complexities of the world that the author has created. I enjoyed the way that the different chapters switched perspectives between some of the major characters which offered different insights into the issues being faced. I also liked the way that this book really focused on the struggle the freedom fighters were going through. The ending was heart wrenching and definitely makes me anxious to see the third one released - its just that kind of series where you get so involved in the characters lives and struggles that its hard to let go when the book is over.

(Book Two of The Kyrennei series)

I received a free copy of this eBook in exchange for a fair and honest review.

"What if the forces of hatred could steal your soul?"

From Goodreads

"Despair has always dogged the heels of those who defy Addin mind control. Now Aranka Miko, the girl who could shield the resistance against infiltration, has gone down in a rain of bullets."

"Twenty-two-year-old Cho is the temporary commander of the J. Company compound in Montana when disaster strikes. The scouting team with Aranka was ambushed and the first spark of hope in a thousand years is lost. If the rest are captured, their wills and minds will be usurped by the Addin cult. Then Cho will be on her own in a secret war that cannot be won. Two of her closest friends are already dead and the man she loves is at the epicenter of the peril. "

"Hope is a fragile thing and fear is a constant companion. It's the twenty-first century, right now, in America and everything looks just fine on the surface. But a clandestine force controls the highest seats of power and will stop at nothing to stamp out resistance. The ancient Meikan people, like Cho, have lived in terror of the Addin for generations, and those who dared to stand up to its power were shunned as outlaws by their own people. Then a mere girl fulfilled an almost forgotten prophecy and hope briefly flowered in unlikely places. But does a giant even notice the crushing of a single flower? One girl is easy enough to kill."

My Review

This book picks up immediately where Book One ends.

The main problem that I see with this fact is that readers will not easily be able to follow the story if they have not read the first book. This is not a stand alone novel.

Jace, Aranka, Kenyen and a few other J-Company members had gone out scouting for potential Kyrennei. Unfortunately, the scouting mission went awry and two team members were killed. Aranka narrowly escaped capture by jumping off a bridge. She is presumed dead, but in fact, she survived the fall and is searching for Meikans to assist her in contacting and returning to J-Company.

The rest of Aranka's group were searching everywhere for her and had just about given up hope that she survived when Tranh stumbles across her. They narrowly escape the Addin and return to the hidden compound.

The winter snows in the group and they start to notice that the teenagers and even some of the younger Meikan children that Aranka had identified as being Kyrennei were falling ill. They complained of joint pain and fatigue.

It soon became clear that they were changing. They were becoming Kyrennei, just like Aranka.

When the opportunity arises to raid an Addin facility that has imprisoned dozens of Kyrennei children, J-Company must decide whether to raid the facility and rescue them or sacrifice the children and wait until there were more Kyrennei imprisoned and rescue them at a future date. When discussing their options and what Jace thought of the issue, the author writes "He thought of it as a game of numbers and the numbers could be better."

Should J-Company rescue the current prisoners and therefore lose the element of surprise making future raids more difficult? Or should they wait and let the children/prisoners die in hopes of saving more lives in the future? Basically it is a question of whether the needs of the few outweigh the needs of the many?

This is an age-old debate. Governments face this problem on a daily basis when deciding where to allocate funding. Do they put more money into cancer research or do they use that money to fund research on Aids or heart disease. It may not be exactly the same as the situation outlined in this book, but it does give readers genuine food for thought.

The dilemma faced by J-Company will make readers think about things in a way they may not have before reading this book. I LOVE THAT! It would be an interesting topic for a book club discussion.

The story continues on by outlining the ongoing struggles of J-Company and the Kyrennei children they rescued.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and thought it was a terrific continuation of the series.

The author skillfully uses teasers throughout the book that foreshadow events to come, enticing the reader.

I also love the way the author has introduced the concept of standing up for what is right even when taking a stand could potentially cause problems. It is an interesting dilemma and I found the various ways different people responded to the same situation both interesting and very realistic.

I rate this book as 4.5 out of 5 stars and I am looking forward to reading Book Three which is already available.

The Kyrennei will enchant readers and many will wish they could join J-Company in their fight against the Addin.

This is s great read and well worth buying.

The Fear and The Solace is book two in The Kyrennei series, suitable for young adults and above. It is a thriller. The series is about the discrimination of a lesser people, a theme which the world has seen over and over.

This book continues the story of the emergence of an ancient people called the Kyrennei and their treaty with the Meikan nation. The Addin are a group of power seekers who control money and authority. They have mind controlling techniques which they use on people. In the first book they were rounding up children and seriously experimenting on them. Aranka was rescued by an out-law team and taken to a Montana hide-out where her true identity evolved.

Book two begins with Aranka on the run after an attempt by the Addin to recapture her. Befriended by children she is once again whisked to safety. The Addin are taking more and more children and experimenting on them and the out-laws go on another mission to save them.

With constant precautions needed it's not long before the Montana safe-house is compromised and once again the out-laws are on the run, this time crossing mountains to reach Canada. The need to be heard and voice their oppression to the world urges them to come out in the open and ask for support. "May you always be free," a Meikan phrase really can be echoed in our own world.

This fictional series speaks volumes about many minor nations. I recommend reading book one first and following this important series.

This review is based on a free copy of the book given to me by the author.
the story continues, the suspense continues, the adventure continues, the conflict continues, the horror continues and the connections continue....you will want to continue reading.
This is another good book in a very captivating series.
A nail biting second installment in The Kyrennei series! A wonderful story that brings to life true and complex emotions, fear, sorrow, anger and determination. Upon finishing this book I was filled with a desperate need to find out what happened and immediately began reading the final book in leiu of daily chores! I recommend this series to anyone!
This whole series us a beautiful and captivating story that will steal your days and nights, keep you thinking and FEELING. The world is deep and well thought out, the message profound. Its incredibly refreshing to have so much cultural diverse characters and ideas in one story. Emotional, thrilling and fun read. Thanks to Arie for sharing her genius!
I love the interplay of modern technology with it's limitations in the rural environment, making a gripping story set in present day. I think many people in the USA do not realize there are places cell phones don't work, and that knowledge of compass and maps can still be very useful. It is exciting to see how the author gets her characters in and out of trouble, realistically. even tho the characters themselves are fantasy. Hmm, very interesting. I guess you will just have to read them.
