In the beginning, this seemed very much like Throne of Glass: A 17 YO girl being imprisoned, then catching the interest of a prince, strong hints that there may be more to the girl’s identity,

only for the very last page to reveal that she’s the long lost rebel princess with a claim to the throne

. Also, prisoners working as slaves in the mines, even the map looked quite similar to eastern Erilea where ToG is set… Honestly, the similarities had me expecting a cheap ToG fanfic, so I didn’t have high hopes at first. Luckily, I ended up loving it. 
It’s funny how sometimes I cannot warm up to the characters throughout the whole book and don’t care if they live or die. And then other times, as it was with The Prison Healer, I am so invested in the characters from the getgo. Kiva, Jaren, Naari, Tipp, Mot, I just loved them all. Watching their bonds grow stronger over time, watching their banter, growing trust and support of one another made me grow ever fonder of them. It all felt very realistic for the setting. Also, the romance was built up slowly despite the initial spark between Kiva and Jaren, which I was very relieved about. An insta-love-y romance might have ruined it for me. 
Another thing that was developed slowly and tastefully was the world building. It was continuously woven throughout the story and felt organic. 
The story orders never got repetitive or boring, despite being set in only one place for 500 pages (in German). There was a lot going on with the friendships, romance, trials, the rebel Queen’s mysterious illness, the plague and overall dynamic at the prison. However, all the stories were woven together organically and made sense, so it never felt like there was too much going on all at once. 
One aspect I do have to complain about was the extremely foreseeable plot twists. It’s also not too difficult to imagine where the story might go, but I still can’t wait to get my hands on the sequels.

I rlly liked this, especially the second half. Idk why it took me a while to get into it (probably bc I wasn’t fully paying attention to the audiobook), but once the second trial came around I was hooked. 
I really appreciated how information was revealed to us along w the FMC. The puzzle pieces were revealed in a satisfying way imo. And I loved the characters n can’t wait to see more of them in the next books. 
I thought the action was well done, n the introduction to the magic was intriguing, so I am excited to learn more about it :))

I loved this book! Read in one night. Only downside was that the (absurd amount of) plot twists felt a bit rushed.

Wow. Eminently readable, with a lush and wondrous (dark) world (being set inside a prison and all). A steady string of well integrated twists and turns, culminating with an absolute jaw dropper on the final pages. There to shed half the book, minimum, in new light. 

This is a book that will give again on the reread, for sure. 

A first in series that confidently stands alone while also leaves you scrambling for the sequel. 

Superb use of textual format and some stunning lines, not to mention a real array of characters, including explicit canonical wlw and amputee. 

Could barely put this book down, and even this scattershot review is after a solid 1( minutes of awestruck space staring upon finishing. 10/10 recommend.
