The Prison Healer by Lynette Noni

4.0

---

Kiva is a young woman who has been held captive at the kingdom prison for most of her life, she is serving as healer in the prison fortress. She’s 17 but comes across very wise and mature for that age.
In the background of all of this there is an impending rebellion which her family on the outside may be apart of, and the queen of the rebellion gets locked away in the prison under Kivas care. Without spoiling, there are multiple reasons why Kiva must keep her alive which ends up being a very daunting task.
The story itself was pretty good. There were some reveals that picked up intrigue, I liked the characters especially Kiva and Naari, Jaren was cool too once I really got to know what he was about.
This book wasn’t perfection for me, but it was awesome regardless. The cliffhanger at the end got me though, on to the sequel!

**coming back to edit after reading the sequel:
The Prison Healer only barely scratches the surface of who Kiva is and what she’s about. There is so much more coming…so much more.
