bloomingbookworm 's review for:

The Prison Healer by Lynette Noni
2.5
dark medium-paced

Unfortunately did not love this YA fantasy. I didn’t connect with the characters at all, the motivation of
the main prisoner villain, Cresta, was weak and didn’t make sense. The poison plotline was disappointing (how did Kiva never consider poison when none of the guards were getting sick? And never noticed a secret cupboard in a room she’d been working in for 10 years???). Kiva was only able to survive the trials with the help others, which became boring.
Enjoyed the book enough to finish it but won’t be continuing the series. 

TW
for sexual violence - implied sexual assault of other characters and rape threats, but no on-page descriptions of rape.
