The Prison Healer
The Prison Healer | Lynette Noni
Seventeen-year-old Kiva Meridan has spent the last ten years fighting for survival in the notorious death prison, Zalindov, working as the prison healer. When the Rebel Queen is captured, Kiva is charged with keeping the terminally ill woman alive long enough for her to undergo the Trial by Ordeal: a series of elemental challenges against the torments of air, fire, water, and earth, assigned to only the most dangerous of criminals. Then a coded message from Kivas family arrives, containing a single order: Dont let her die. We are coming. Aware that the Trials will kill the sickly queen, Kiva risks her own life to volunteer in her place. If she succeeds, both she and the queen will be granted their freedom. But no one has ever survived. With an incurable plague sweeping Zalindov, a mysterious new inmate fighting for Kivas heart, and a prison rebellion brewing, Kiva cant escape the terrible feeling that her trials have only just begun. From bestselling author Lynette Noni comes a dark, thrilling YA fantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, and Sabaa Tahir.

Listening to this on audiobook today so I can adult and do chores. Pretty good so far! #whimsicalreadsbookclub

BooksNBowls Okay, I‘m over halfway through so far and these are my thoughts. I got lots of theories because something and someone isn‘t who they seem- Jaren and Naari!! (Maybe together in on it??) Secondly, the setting of this book being held in one place is throwing me off a little with the pacing of the story, but I really like it so far! Great characters 😁 7mo

KateReadsYA @BrittanyReads Right!! Have you read Crescent city by her yet?! 9mo
brittanyreads I haven't yet! I'm saving it for after I finish the ACOTAR series. I have two books left to read 9mo
KateReadsYA @BrittanyReads okay you me and @BooksNBowls should totally buddy read it together around like October!!!! 🥰🤩 9mo
BooksNBowls @KateReadsYA I‘m down! Might be less intimidating to do a buddy read 😅 9mo
KateReadsYA @BooksNBowls Hahaha I'm like always nominating you to read stuff with me lol. I bought the first book and I'll probably get the second one once we start it. Do you know when book 3 comes out?! 9mo
BooksNBowls @KateReadsYA January 2024 (edited) 9mo
brittanyreads Ohhhh! Great idea!! I already own Book 1 so I'm down! @BooksNBowls 9mo
KateReadsYA @BrittanyReads @BooksNBowls Okay let's do it. Maybe we could do November and do like 1 book a month so we can be ready for the release in January?! 🙂 9mo
brittanyreads That sounds even better! @BooksNBowls It will give me time to read Frost and Starlight and Silver Flames 9mo
KateReadsYA @BrittanyReads Ugh to read Silver flames for the first time again! I LOVE that book. I rarely cry but that one got me. I hated Nesta till I read it and I was looking around like ? "wait, am I a Nesta?!" Talk about self reflecting and woman empowerment! Make sure to be MIA for 2 days so you can hide in your room and just devour it! It's sooo addictive. 9mo
brittanyreads Ahhhhhh I can't wait!! I really like Cassian so I'm looking forward to reading more of him 🦇 Nesta is def prickly at best 😅🌵😒 I'm kinda waiting for the Graphic Audio to come out for Silver Flames. If you've not listened to those audiobooks, I highly recommend 9mo
BooksNBowls @KateReadsYA sounds good to me!!! 💕 9mo
BooksNBowls @BrittanyReads I can‘t wait to hear your thoughts when you finish!! 😁 9mo
KateReadsYA @BooksNBowls @BrittanyReads Awesome. I'll make sure to tag yall at the end of October as a reminder so we can start in November. 9mo

Read first days of August-YA fantasy but so good. Not much to say because the story has many twits and that ending😱so good. Kiva has a complicated family and she is living in a world where you can go to prison for any kind of treason to the royal family. But why she was incarcerated during her childhood? Why nobody rescued her? How was her life in prison? Who are her family? Can she ever leave prison? Fast pace read. 3.8/4 ⭐️

Often, people view rereads as boring since they already know what‘s going to happen. I am not one of those people however because, oh my god, I love this book. The characters! The storyline! The quotes! And I have to say that this being a reread did not stop me from shedding tears. Also, the ending, never loses its impact!

“What‘s your secret? To surviving, I mean?”
She considered her words carefully before answering, “It helps if you have something to live for. To fight for. It grounds you, gives you a reason to get up every morning. It gives you a reason to want to survive. And sometimes, it‘s the wanting that makes all the difference. Because once you give up in here”—she pointed to her heart—“then you‘re already as good as dead.”

I finished this book 4-5 days ago, I‘ve just been procrastinating against writing this review but here I am. This was a really good book, but after reading so many books I practically predicted the last quarter of the book. Maybe if I hadn‘t investigated so much, I would have enjoyed it more. Nonetheless, I would recommend this to anyone! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5

I only read this because it was sitting in the kindle, and I was in the mood for more YA fantasy after reading vespertine. It was AMAZING. Loved it. The lives of the characters are pretty grim, it is a prison, and an awful one. It gave me Ember in the ashes vibes, in that regard. Can‘t wait to read book 2.
