Dannii Elle (danniiellereads) | 9919 comments Kiva trades one cage for another when she leaves behind a deadly prison for a deceptive palace in this dark and dangerous sequel to The Prison Healer, which Sarah J. Maas called "a must-read."

Kiva Meridan is a survivor.

She survived not only Zalindov prison, but also the deadly Trial by Ordeal. Now Kiva’s purpose goes beyond survival to vengeance. For the past ten years, her only goal was to reunite with her family and destroy the people responsible for ruining their lives. But now that she has escaped Zalindov, her mission has become more complicated than ever.

As Kiva settles into her new life in the capital, she discovers she wasn’t the only one who suffered while she was in Zalindov—her siblings and their beliefs have changed too. Soon it’s not just her enemies she’s keeping secrets from, but her own family as well.

Outside the city walls, tensions are brewing from the rebels, along with whispers of a growing threat from the northern kingdoms. Kiva’s allegiances are more important than ever, but she’s beginning to question where they truly lie. To survive this time, she’ll have to navigate a complicated web of lies before both sides of the battle turn against her and she loses everything.

Same here! I'm glad I get the chance to read it so soon after book one too.

Aaaaaah I didn't get approved (yet), I'm hoping so badly that I'll be approved too!!

Oh no :( I applied in both netgalley.com and netgalley.co.uk as they sometimes have different books on each version of the site. I'm still waiting on the edition in .com but was approved a few hours after I requested the book in .co.uk so maybe try there?


message 6: by Bayan (new) - added it

Oh that's such a good tip!! I'll try that, thank you! :)


Karen Barber | 13299 comments Up to ch5. Follows on pretty seamlessly, though I’m concerned that we may see divided loyalties here. (view spoiler)


Karen Barber | 13299 comments First quarter - up to ch10. The skill shown in their training is impressive, but every detail we’re given highlights just how difficult this is going to become.


Karen Barber | 13299 comments Second quarter - up to ch20. The little reminders of her father and his determination to forgive will, I think, be important. Interesting to see her grandmother and that day suggests there’s things we have yet to be told.


Karen Barber | 13299 comments Third quarter - up to ch27. Wow! I’m not sure how Cal found that out,or even what he’s going to do with the news.


Karen Barber | 13299 comments Finished. Review on home page. (view spoiler)


Dannii Elle (danniiellereads) | 9919 comments Sorry I'm so late. I started this one two days ago and completely forgot to update this thread. I just finished and loved it just as much as book one. Here are my thoughts: :)

Karen Barber | 13299 comments Given how much I’ve enjoyed this series, I’ve been surprised how few students seem to be aware of this.

It will seem like an interminable wait for book three...but I think it'll be worth it.


Dannii Elle (danniiellereads) | 9919 comments I hope more people discover this series... and that book three gets released soon!
