A lot of books do that, make the romance more important than the story line, and that can really ruin a book for me. The characters are relatable, the relationships are adorable, the plot line is incredible and the introduction of adorable animal sidekicks is the best! I love how the series has a romance that we can really root for but doesn't make the entire plot about it. The way Lynette Noni has built this fantasy is so incredible that I was so sad when the series came an end and was desperate for more (luckily i was introduced to her other books Whisper and Weapon!). This is one of my favourite series of all time and was what really got me into YA fiction! It is a hard thing to create an entire world by scratch, let alone a fantasy one, but Lynette did just that. The Prison Healer was also voted in at #2 on the Better Reading Kid’s Top 50 list for 2022 - directly behind Harry Potter.Ĭollectively, Lynette’s books have been published in 18 different countries and counting. It was also a finalist in the 2022 Audie Awards, and a CBCA (Children’s Book Council of Australia) notable mention for Older Readers Book of the Year. Her newest series, The Prison Healer, won the 2022 ABIA Award for Book of the Year for Older Children (13+), and was shortlisted for the 2022 Indie Book Awards. In 2019, Lynette’s book Whisper won the ABIA Award (Australian Book Industry Award) for Small Publishers’ Children’s Book of the Year, as well as the Gold Inky Award (Australia’s only teen choice book award). She is now a full-time writer and the #1 bestselling author of the six-book young adult fantasy series, The Medoran Chronicles, the award-winning YA duology, Whisper, and the globally renowned YA fantasy trilogy, The Prison Healer. After studying journalism, academic writing and human behaviour at university, Lynette Noni finally ventured into the world of fiction.
