Despite the darker setting, Lynette still manages to weave in her usual magic, such as solid friendships and colourful characters.

It’s a bit darker than her previous books, as it’s set in a prison where no-one survives for long because they are literally worked to death. Its filled with subtle nods to classic kids fantasy novels like Harry. The story centres around Kiva Meridan, an inmate at a notorious labour prison who works as the prison healer (hence the title). Akarnae is a fun, adventurous teen fantasy written by Australian author Lynette Noni. I didn’t think that it was at all possible for this to surpass any of her other books, but for me it’s the absolute favourite! It was so bingeable and I couldn’t put it down.

I particularly loved the friendship between the main character, Alex, and her two 'side-kicks', Bear and Jordan. Just recently, The Prison Healer was released, which is the first book in a new series. Akarnae is a fun and entertaining read that has mostly positives but a few negatives.
