I feel like there should have been a lot more prison reform at the end, given what we saw in the first book.

Cute ending to a cute series. Wildly better than book 2, which was frankly a mess. Loved the characters, loved the sidequests, the plot was perfectly paced, and the ending wrapped up all loose ends nicely.

3.0

I have to admit, the more I read this book, the more I lost interest. I think this might be because I read the first book of The Prison Healer Trilogy a while ago, and perhaps my interests have changed.

Also, I feel like polyamory was put in a bad light for a brief moment in the book. :(

The first book in The Prison Healer Trilogy will always be my favorite. :)

THE PART WHERE IT'S REVEALED THAT JAREN DRUGGED CALDON SO HE COULD BE ALONE WITH KIVA WAS GREAT! :D I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT! XD
