Review: Bonds of the Forsaken (Forbidden Flight Book 3) by H.G. Chambers

Rating: 4.5⭐️

Bonds of the Forsaken brings the Forbidden Flight fantasy series to a satisfying conclusion. 

H. G. Chambers takes Kiva, and Noor, her bonded kiraeen , and Kahalil, a sage, on a thrilling adventure to save her people and Medina Basin from the Red God. 

Already so many from Medina Basin have perished. Kiva taking for herself the burden of their loss, rightly or wrongly,  because of the last battle. Layered on top of which is the devastating death of Noor’s mate and her fiancé’s kiraeen bondmate. With deeply cutting emotional consequences. 

To find the necessary power and magic to defeat the Red God, Kiva must fly through lands to find people she’s never seen before to accomplish her goals and return home safely in time. 

It’s an emotionally charged and satisfying journey. Kiva’s full of anger and grief and realistic fears about herself and her own personal struggles here and abilities to achieve her goals. Chambers crafts new and exciting landscapes and cultures for Kiva and Noor to experience, in every way possible. Ones that will challenge them and their bond in surprising ways and their own will to survive. 

The final result and battles are epic. The resolution for Kiva and Noor and Medina Basin one that’s feels realistic for all sides, grounded in the events, the growth and development of the individuals. 

And Chambers leaves it open ended enough so that he can revisit it and see where Kiva and Noor’s journey’s takes them. 

As I said, highly satisfactory. And a series I definitely recommend reading for all ages.

Review: Order of the Red Sons (Forbidden Flight Book 2) by H.G. Chambers

Rating: 4.5⭐️

Order of the Red Sons, the second novel in the Forbidden Flight YA fantasy series by H.G. Chambers, takes Kiva’s tale of her journey to become her clan’s female windwalker towards a dark, treacherous place . 

Chambers has beautifully crafted a desert world where the people have long dug out an ages old survival among a hidden village place inside a desert cliff . There’s a  sense of an ancient civilization and laws that have arisen inside the rock walls is authentic and believable. So when Kiva goes against tradition of “men windwalkers” only, it’s an also a real issue for her here to go against their religion and laws. For her and her family. 

Order of the Red Sons sees the ramifications of her achieving her goals and bonding with her own kiraeen and becoming a windwalker. There’s an entire order within her village dedicated to stopping her and any other women who might follow her to become windwalkers. They believe she’s an abomination and should be punished. 

Who is a part of this secret society and what their ultimate goal is pushes this powerful storyline. It’s high action, even higher emotional energy, with betrayal and violence at every level.

All happening across richly described desert scenery and vividly imagined areas. And the culture is crafted in great detail by the author so it’s absolutely essential to the story and realistic. 

Order of the Red Sons (Forbidden Flight Book 2) by H.G. Chambers is even better than the first and now I can’t wait to read the third. 

What a fantastic series this is.Highly recommended.

Review: Windwalker (Forbidden Flight Book 1) by H.G. Chambers

Rating: 4.5⭐️

Windwalker, the first novel in the Forbidden Flight YA fantasy series by H.G. Chambers, is my first introduction to this author. What a fantastic read this book is.

It reminds me of the time I found my first dragonrider story by Anne McCaffrey, although this reads for a younger audience. 

The world building is deeply layered with a remarkably beautiful desert landscape that lends a sense of awe and credence to the story and dangers of the life lived there. What I really love is that the author created a unique main female character and group of people that are themselves a part of the landscape, desert clan and a community that has been created by the desert landscape its dwelling within.  That includes its religious and societal structures. 

Furthermore, the story of a young girl, Kiva, who believes that she deserves to become a Windwalker, someone who bonds with the fierce flying sentient creatures known as Kiraeen, against the clan’s rules, is unusual in many respects. 

In some instances you would expect to see a character like Kiva isolated, without support against the clan rules that say only men can become Windwalkers. However, this story is slowly built around how Kiva’s family rallies the community, especially the women, to support her.

It’s emotional, full of a range of scenes that reflect the family’s struggles with Kiva’s journey to Kiva herself as she grows through her bond and then the dangers that come with it.

Each character, whether human or mythical creature, is beautifully written, detailed in every aspect. They are believable and beings the reader can connect with.

This story just flows from beginning to end. And I am quickly heading to the next novel. 

Highly recommended, and a lovely change from dragon and Dragonriders.

 Book 1 of 3: Windwalker 

Blurb 

They say no woman can touch a kiraeen and live.

Kiva intends to prove them wrong.

In the harsh deserts of the Miralaja, the legendary Windwalkers rule the skies, bonded to deadly flying beasts known as kiraeen. For generations, only men have been allowed to attempt the proving trials and join their ranks.

When tradition denies her the chance to become a Windwalker, she sets out to prove that skill, not birth, should decide who earns the sky. Defying centuries of law could cost her everything: exile, disgrace… even death.

But some rules exist for a reason.

And the bond between rider and kiraeen is far more dangerous than she ever imagined.

If Kiva wants to survive the skies, she’ll have to risk everything — because once a kiraeen chooses you, there is no turning back.

Perfect for readers who love dragon rider stories, fierce heroines, and epic desert fantasy.
