Returned Forbidden Kimberley Griffiths Little Books

As the last book in the series, naturally Returned wraps up the loose ends of the tale and contains its most climatic moments. It’s actually much faster paced than the first two books, because it begins right at the start of the “battle arc” of the tale and continues past the outcome to a nice wrap-up ending where all the questions are answered and we get a happy ending looking towards the future (I don’t think that’s a spoiler; a happy ending is to be expected, right? —Right).

I enjoyed the last installment of this tale very much and read it pretty quickly. It’s roughly the same length as the last two books, just a handful shy of 400, and reads very well. This series is ultimately pretty straightforward, but very enjoyable due to its unique setting. The story was well told and ultimately I feel very satisfied with this book and the series as a whole. It’s the kind of book series I can see myself revisiting because it strikes the right balance to not be too heavy or complex to casually enjoy, but not so basic or boring that a single read through is all you’ll ever want out of it.

I think perhaps this is the strongest book in the series, just because it’s the installment filled with all the climatic bits and where we see Jayden’s character fully become that of a woman worthy of being queen. I give this particular installment of the series 4.5 stars and rate the overall series a solid 4.

My only qualm is that Jayden forgives Leila. Like if my sister ever thought killing me or another family member was okay I’d disown them. Just saying, Leila was pretty easily forgiven after three books of being really, really selfish and stupid. But I digress, I think this was written in as more of a happy, sappy YA thing to make for a clean and happy ending that wraps up every loose end it can, since Jayden spends so much of the series focused on Leila and it works more with that theme (though like, Leila should have been given some kind of redemption arc; the scene where all is forgiven is just Too Convenient; a redemption arc would have made the book a bit longer, but I think it would have made the story more wholesome and fleshed out). Though honestly a sobering, heavier "this journey from desert girl to Sariba's queen has been full of many gains, but also many sacrifices" ending might have been more suitable to the world, since ancient Mesopotamia was a super brutal place.

Returned Forbidden Kimberley Griffiths Little Books Reviews

My only issue is that by the time this novel came out, I'd forgotten so many details that this read wasn't as pleasurable. The last one ended on a cliffhanger and it was unfortunate as I really dislike those and generally won't give an author a second chance. I'm glad I did read this final installment. Very well written.
Returned was the perfect ending to an action-packed, emotionally-exhausting story. (Exhausting in a good way-)) It made me laugh, made me cry, made me cringe and want to rip the villain apart fifty times over, but Jayden and Kadesh's happily-ever-after was highly anticipated, satisfying, and well-deserved.
A great series.
This was such a great ending to a great series. There is so much to overcome and so many things that happen. As with war there is death and I was doing okay until the shock at the end that had me crying for sadness, happiness and relief. So many feelings. I have been thinking about it for days. It will be hard to say goodbye to these wonderful characters. I guess I will just have to read it all over again.
What an epic battle for an epic ending! This one is a tearjerker. Such an incredible journey the author took us on from book one to book three. I could see this in my head as a tv series. I was biting my nails on the edge of my seat reading this one. It's like with every book the author stepped up her game. The writing, visuals and historic accuracy pulled me in and kept me there. I don't want to give anything away, but there is a character loss that I wept for! ( Great read though. The ones that make you cry are always best.
The author ended this series well with emotional and action-packed scenes throughout. So much was at stake for these characters who I've grown to love that I read this much faster than I wanted to (saying goodbye now is so difficult). Jayden stayed strong and intelligent and resourceful in this series and stayed true to the historical time she lived in. The author added so many details about the lifestyle, attire, gods and goddesses, food, and more that it once again felt authentic to me. I hope this author writes more YA in the future as I am a fan of her beautiful writing.
The ultimate conclusion to the Forbidden series this book had it in spades. the journey of Jayden and her beloved, was not only through sometimes balmy and enchanting and merciless and cruel at other times Mesophetanian desert, but spiritual and personal as well. Intense battles, betrayals of the worst kind, selfless sacrifice of beloved characters and deep love between main characters, between family members and for their tribe. Deeply moving and beautifully written story that will stay with you for a long time. Highly recommended conclusion of this enchanting series!
Kimberley creates the most intense, most emotional conclusion to the Forbidden trilogy. The conclusion will leave you in laughter and tears, as the characters fight for what they believe in, down to their very last drop of strength. I loved Jayden's character; she fought the enemy using only her mind and ideas. And her sword from time to time. She found herself trapped in the smallest of corners, but always managed a way out. It goes to show how strong of a character she is.
The imagery and intricate scenes are also very well written out. I was left feeling like I was actually living in the ancient world, long after I closed the book. This is a trilogy I definitely recommend to anyone who loves romance and belly dance. It's very unique among fantasy and romance.
