The Prison Healer by Lynette Noni
2.0
2/5 Stars: ‘The Prison Healer’ (Book #1 of ‘The Prison Healer’) by Lynette Noni.
→ Age Range: Young Adult.
→ Genre: Romance, Dark Fantasy.
→ Trigger Warnings: Implied Rape, Self-Harm, Torture.
In-depth Rating:
→ Plot: ★
→ Character Development: ★
→ Setting: ★★
→ Entertainment Level: ★★★
→ Writing: ★★★
General Comments: Readable but not remarkable, the claustrophobic setting exudes dread and brutality; levity and lightness are minimal, evoking the horror of a Siberian Gulag or Nazi Concentration Camp. A predictable romance ensues, and generic clichés abound, it is hastily concluded with a trite plot-twist – it is almost too convenient. Teething problems aside, the political and magical systems are intriguing.
Favourite Quote: ‘Hope was a drug and Kiva, an addict.’
Time Read: Seven Days.
→ Audiobook: No.
→ Audiobook Narrator: -
→ Age Range: Young Adult.
