No ending has ever made me sadder than this one's, though. And because this was the last book, Smith answered all the questions she had the readers ask from the first two books. But Julian doesn't give up and starts a second Game which, in my opinion, is more exciting than the first because they played it in the real world where they had humanly things to consider like their families and other people who could also get hurt.īecause of how The Chase ended, there was action in The Kill right off the bat. I think, deep inside her, she really wanted to stay with Julian but because she had been with Tom for so long, he was also the only future she could think of. She became braver and risky but unfortunately, she didn't want to accept these changes. The ending disappointed me, though, because it wasn't what I wanted, but it really paved the way for the second book.Īfter the Game, Jenny had changed. And Smith described the Game so clearly that it was easy to visualize the scenes. It was fun to read about a group of friends who were so close despite their vastly varied personalities. Smith did really well in setting the background for the story to unfold in and developed the characters in a way that won't have you questioning their decisions later in the story. I think the summary above does its job pretty well so I will go straight to commenting on each book.
#The forbidden game lj smith series series#
The Forbidden Game is actually a series of three books: The Hunter, The Chase, and The Kill. I didn't expect much but I'm happy to say that this has officially become one of my favorites! I bought this book because I needed something long to read for two weeks when I had to save up for The Hunger Games boxed set (yes, that series will be up for review next).
