The Prison Healer by Lynette Noni

4.0

3.5

What I really do not like :
I have conflicted feelings about the fmc bcs she's so nice and selfless and sometimes I can't understand why she is willing to sacrifice her life for someone they just met. But at first, but I don't want to judge a book just because the fmc doesn't fit my criteria of the protagonist that I will root for. So I continue the series. I've been trying to project my mind that she's a doctor and she's trying to be a good doctor by volunteering for a deadly trials for her badly injured patient that she just met bcs it eventually will help her to escape the prison too. I'm trying to understand her situation and I'm also trying to understand her decision making but I find it is so hard because for someone who live in a deadly prison, she is so naive and I do not think it is a good thing to have it when you're living in a deadly prison. She keeps getting helps from other people to survive the trial, well okay- okay- cool. That's fine. She's just not the type of the main character that I wil root for.

But then.... the plot twist at the end of the chapter changes everything. It changes everything about her for me. She's probably going to be the fmc that I will root for.
Let's go to

the things I like :
First, the World Building on this book is explained well through out the story and it also has hints of political intrique that probably I will enjoy. Eventhough it doesn't give me a solid view of the world outside the prison because on this book 100% the place setting is on the prison but it is enough to make us understand the situation that our characters are going through.
Second, I love the side characters more than the main characters. Jaren, I see you boy. I see you. Aaaargh, I am so excited for the next book.
