Summary
Everyone who goes to Zallindov dies. Everyone, that is, except Kiva. Lynette Noni weaves a masterful and action-packed narrative that will take listeners on a roller coaster of twists, turns and thrills and sweep them up in a love story for the ages.
At Zalindov, the only person you can trust is yourself.
Seventeen-year-old Kiva Meridan is a survivor. For ten years, she has worked as the healer in the notorious death prison, Zalindov, making herself indispensable. Kept afloat by messages of hope from her family, Kiva has one goal and one goal only: stay alive.
Then one day the infamous Rebel Queen arrives at the prison on death's door and Kiva receives a new message: Don't let her die. We are coming.
The queen is sentenced to the Trial by Ordeal: a series of elemental challenges against the torments of air, fire, water and earth, assigned to only the most dangerous of criminals. Aware the sickly queen has little chance of making it through the Trials alive, Kiva volunteers to take her place. If she succeeds, both she and the queen will be granted their freedom.
But no one has ever survived.
And with an incurable plague sweeping Zalindov, a mysterious new inmate fighting for Kiva's heart, and a prison rebellion brewing, Kiva can't escape the terrible feeling that her trials have only just begun.
From bestselling Australian author Lynette Noni comes a masterful and action-packed YA fantasy perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Sabaa Tahir.

The story was AMAZING I was hooked right away and started the next book as soon as this one finished!
the performance was a bit odd and sounded a bit robotic but i upped my speed from 1.5x to 1.7x and it was fine then :)

Wow!!
I loved this book and all the characters in it. And what a twist at the end. Wasn’t expecting that! Not sure I’m happy about the lie and what’s really going on but guess it will be explained in the second book.

Sooo boring
This book was such a struggle to finish, not only because the narrator has a very slow, monotone voice which makes all the characters sound the same, but also because the story telling takes an age to go anywhere. The ending just annoyed me, I can't really explain why without spoilers. Certain parts were really repetitive and were dwelled on too long.

Amazing - Hunger Games move over!
I loved this story, so much so that I downloaded book 2 and listened to it straight away. I've just downloaded book 3 and I can't wait to listen. I can really struggle to get into books. I LOVED the Hunger Games trilogy, so much so that I wish I still had them to read. The Prison Healer holds the same wish, I want to experience it for the first time again! It follows the Hunger Games slightly at the beginning, but then goes off on its own completely. The twists are fantastic. If you enjoyed the Hunger Games then give this a go. Same level of action/intrigue with new exciting characters.

A good YA story
A really decent YA book.
Always love a story where the main character is a healer, the amount of books I’ve read of this premise and yet, I don’t get bored. Think it’s because I like to convince myself that I would be a good healer in a fantasy world when, in reality, I actually would be terrible (I would forgot what plants are safe and which ones are harmful.)
I liked the plot of being in a prison and having to survive that and then having to get through these elemental trails where the person is meant to die.
The ending actually made me squeak out loud, as I totally didn’t see that coming. Some of the twists I saw coming but not all.
Looking forward to reading (or rather listening) to the next book.
<spoiler> So obviously Jaren is the love interest but I was quite gutted that Kiva didn’t fancy Naari, I thought they would make a great couple and the chemistry seemed stronger. </spoiler>

It’s ok, a bit trite, a bit tedious at times
There are going to be obvious comparisons with ACOTAR with this book and maybe I need to stop reading this genre because the tropes and lack of subtlety annoy me, but there’s still enough to keep you going with this story. The voice of one character is exceptionally annoying and I spent the whole book cruelly wishing they would die. The reveals that occur through the book make previous plot lines a bit pointless and nonsensical in my opinion. I love a good twist/surprise etc but only when it makes sense and you can go back and tally something that seemed irrelevant to actually being something critical, but that’s not what really happens here.
Having said that, it’s a fast paced romp that has enough action to keep it interesting and I suspect people who adore ACOTAR will be equally enamoured with The Prison Healer.

Interesting first book.
Good story, good universe around it. Plot "twists" easily guessed, still enjoyable. Too many repetitions, otherwise okay to follow.

lots of twists
it is a sweet story really and full of secrets....it's very much worth the read, the ending twist is very unexpected in my opinion, however previous reviews state otherwise. I didn't find it as predictable as other reviewers either, it is a very well thought out story TBF. I had to get the next book to see what happens next....as with Lynettes other series medoran chronicles which I've got the whole collection and love dearly. I feel this shall be another collection I adore. worth the read and worth the sequels.....excited to see what happens next!
