Die mutige Kiva hat als Gefängnisheilerin von Zalindov alle Hände voll zu tun. Auch im Gefängnis wird es nie langweilig: mysteriöse neue Gefangene, harte Prüfungen und natürlich ihre Patienten, mit teilweise mysteriösen Krankheiten...
Die Sprecherin des Hörbuches passte sehr gut zum Charakter der Hauptfigur und war generell sehr angenehm zu hören.
Ohne Spoilern zu wollen, hat mich das Ende einfach nur geflasht! Ich hab es absolut nicht vorhergesehen und war total schockiert! Ich bin sehr froh, das der nächste Teil der Reihe bereits erschienen ist und damit hoffentlich auch bald übersetzt wird. Ich kann es kaum erwarten!

4.75
The one nit-picky thing was a plot point I personally didn't like, which is why it's 4.75, rather than 5.
I would highly recommend this book for anyone who loves fantasy but is sick of repetitive plots. There's a few common tropes, but they are well done, with unique takes. I'm really looking forward to the next book.

3.0
The story quickly sucked me in and was very engaging throughout the first 100 or so pages, but I started to get bored and speed read the second half of this book. If the trials aspect of this book appealed to you most, prepare to be disappointed. They were extremely anticlimactic, required no actual effort or skill from Kiva, and she only survived them because one person directly helped her all four times (I'd hardly call this a spoiler--it's the first book in a series, the main character was always going to make it out alive).
The four trials were incredibly lackluster:
trial 2: survive for 10 minutes without burning alive inside a crematorium. The princess gives her a magical necklace that keeps her from burning.
trial 3: tied to the bottom of a water pit for 15 minutes. surprise! Jaren has magic and saves her.
trial 4: escape a tunnel maze. Jaren gets thrown in with her as punishment and uses his magic to literally just show them the path out.
A lot of this book felt very flimsy. Even though life in the prison is harsh for the prisoners, they have a LOT of freedom--they're allowed to roam around the grounds however they please, are never subjected to pat-downs or security searches of any kind. There were never many guards around, and when they were present, the inmates weren't handcuffed or bound in any way. It also felt way too convenient that this infamous traitor queen was so casually placed in the infirmary with only a few healers and one guard at a time on watch. With her importance and high number of enemies she's said to have, why didn't anyone try to break in and harm her? Kiva was also always conveniently saved or favored by powerful people without much reason.
With all this being said, the reveals at the ending shocked me, and the cliffhanger was good enough to make me interested in giving book 2 a try.
