I'm sure it's a little odd to begin a review by talking about the end, but oh my, it blew me away. It’s been actual years since I’ve stayed up late into the night to finish a book just because I can’t put it down. That’s what happened to me last night while reading The Prison Healer. I genuinely got to the 60% mark and I just couldn’t stop. I had to know what happened next. I had to understand more.
If you think you understand everything that's going on during this book, you don’t. I can almost guarantee that. I felt sooooo smart figuring out all the "plot twists" when I really had no idea what I was actually figuring out. It's a wild ride, friends.
The characters are magnificent. At first, I didn't really like any of them. I held myself at a distance from them all, almost like Kiva does with the people in her life. By the end, I would've taken on The Ordeals myself for Tipp, Naari, Jaren, or even old Mot. This book gave me found family like nothing else ever has. I adore it as much for that as I do for everything else it gave me—and it gave me a lot.
When I first began reading, I wrote on bookstagram that I love a book with short chapters like this. Then I realized something: this book does not have short chapters, no siree. What it does have? Intrigue. So much so that I didn't even realize when fifteen minutes had gone by and I hadn't reached the chapter’s end. By the time I was flipping to a new page, I felt like no time had passed at all because I was so sucked into the story.
My one complaint? That I waited so long to read it. I can't wait to see what happens next.
