kendranh 's review for:
The Prison Healer
by Lynette Noni
adventurous
mysterious
fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Diverse cast of characters:
No
This is definitely a refreshing change from typical YA/NA fantasy novels. Lots of twists and turns, complex characters, and the unique setting of what is essentially a prison death camp.
Loved:
Loved:
- The unique setting of the story
- Magic being tied to the different elements
- The bond between Tipp and Kiva
- The ethical boundary Kiva set for herself in how she cared for her patients
- The twist at the end made me gasp
- The friendships with Naari and Mot
Meh
- It was kind of obvious from the very start that Jaren was not your typical prisoner
- Related to that twist,
it is very hard to be sympathetic to a royal character who apparently didn’t care about the literal death camp until it suddenly impacted him - Why would you introduce a cat and then not clarify the fate of said cat? WHAT HAPPENED TO THE CAT
- I worry that we will get a totally different version of Kiva in the future books based on the final twist
