If you want to read an amazing dark fantasy book with beautiful romance （where they at least meet in the first 70% of the book）， a lovable love interest and a FMC who is tolerable and not annoying at all and of course if a fantastic plot is a must，then do not read this bookBye

This series has continued to be my favorite fantasy romance series and has yet to let me down。 Out of the three books out， this is my favorite so far。 You get answers， you get healing， you get growth。 The pacing in this story makes it hard to put the book down。 There were moments I cheered， cried， laughed。 Every little detail is intricately woven into this story， that when something is revealed， it makes it all the more satisfying。 I'm sad we have to wait for the next book but happy we can still This series has continued to be my favorite fantasy romance series and has yet to let me down。 Out of the three books out， this is my favorite so far。 You get answers， you get healing， you get growth。 The pacing in this story makes it hard to put the book down。 There were moments I cheered， cried， laughed。 Every little detail is intricately woven into this story， that when something is revealed， it makes it all the more satisfying。 I'm sad we have to wait for the next book but happy we can still theorize on what's going to happy。 Amazing book！ 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Did I read this in one day while also working a full day？ Why， yes I did。 So here are my thoughts:4。 5 stars。 A solid addition to the series that explains so much from the previous books and asks more questions to be explored later。 Before I give my full review， I just have to say the author and I will have serious beef if anything happens to Zane。 The things that I thought were the best （meaning skillfully written and executed） in the story were:One of the saddest lines I’ve read in a long time Did I read this in one day while also working a full day？ Why， yes I did。 So here are my thoughts:4。 5 stars。 A solid addition to the series that explains so much from the previous books and asks more questions to be explored later。 Before I give my full review， I just have to say the author and I will have serious beef if anything happens to Zane。 The things that I thought were the best （meaning skillfully written and executed） in the story were:One of the saddest lines I’ve read in a long time: “But I don’t know where my giggles went”。 Right to the heart with that one。 Cain - what a sick piece of crap。 This guy seriously would have had a podcast talking about “females” and calling himself a “high quality man” if could。 He is what Joffrey Baratheon would have been if he had made it further into adulthood and really honed his ability to be calculated in his cruelty and entitlement。 I hated him in the last book， but I loathe him in this one。 What an entitled， controlling， abusive， insecure， pathetic man。 I could write an entire thesis on how disgusting that absolute trash is， but the author did such an amazing job of letting that character speak for himself， I'll just leave it at that。 One of my favorite ways the author makes Cain so repulsive is his obsession with women’s hair。 She takes something that is mostly neutral - a hair fetish - and shows how Cain makes it a deeply unhealthy way for him to relate to women and try to control them。 I love Zali - want to see more of her。 I laughed out loud when she basically called out Rhordyn for not using his big boy words and getting himself stabbed。 Old Hattie - I reread the second book right before this one and I still completely forgot about Old Hattie until she showed up again。 I always appreciate when writers pace a story in such a way that you forget key things until they bring them back at just the right time。 I am also glad we got to know more about her and the dynamic with Cain。 I like how this dynamic is going to be a bit of template/contrast for Rhordyn and Orlaith’s future relationship complications。 Baze - I am glad we got more of his POV and his history with Orlaith。This book took him from being part of Rhordyn and Orlaith’s story and gave him his own mission and goals。 I also want to see more of him and Zali together。 Orlaith - I love that she is finding her strength and we are getting to see her use her expertise in areas （i。e。 plants） that the other characters really don’t have。 It keeps her from being the one who is always on the back foot and needing others to explain things to her。 Rhordyn - I am happy we are able to see more about him because in book one he was pretty repulsive。 Finally getting to see him vulnerable and real makes him more complex and generally engaging。 I also found him dying over and over again really funny。 Kolden - I want to know more about him， especially why he is so loyal to Orlaith。 The world - I always appreciate when a world takes on complex topics like misogyny， religious oppression， classism， and generational trauma。 This book continues to develop on these topics and makes sure to not make things too neat or too black and white。 I also want to learn more about the Gods。 What I thought could have been better/clearerRhordyn eating - the fact that he doesn’t eat in front of anyone was such a big deal in the last two books then， all of a sudden， he is eating a full meal with Orlaith all because she put the food in the bowl。 That seemed very random。 I hope we get a better explanation for that。 Rhordyn’s internal vruk - also seemed very random。 We see （what I now assume） was a vruk in Castle Noir in the cage when Rhordyn feeds him the deer and then again near the whispers。 But it was outside him （at least for sure it was when he was feeding it）。 Then we see a black one after Orlaith kills those men - there is no reason for us to link it to Rhordyn。 But now he has some internal creature， much like Zyke， that he can unleash by transforming。 I feel like we needed more information。Orlaith refusing to talk to Rhordyn - hun， literally everything you’ve been struggling with the last 2。75 books was because no one talked about shit。 Now you are perpetuating this same crap。 Use your words！ Orlaith letting go of her guilt about her mother - this resolved way too easily。 Rhordyn tells her he did it， not her and she basically just says “my bad， I’m all good now”。 Like， what？ Something so significant wiped out with little effort just doesn’t make sense。 Kai and Vicious - I am happy Kai found a mate but I feel like it was very rushed。 He was barely conscious for much of the time they were together before he “claimed” her and they have never even had a conversation。 But now they are joined for life and he is all about her？Orlaith’s uneven hair - nitpicky， I know。 But I really need her to fix that or at least make it make sense。 Everybody biting each other - how does this apply to every single species so far？ It’s a bit much。Can we retire the phrases “slow as the rising sun” or “slow as the setting moon” or anything similar for the next book？ Can’t wait for book 4！ 。。。more

Angst and ActionSome answers， some action， plenty of slow burn angst。I enjoyed this more than the second instalment。 It was better paced。 Characters fleshed out a bit more。 It’s enjoyable to watch the author grow。The script is hard for me to read。 Not sure if it’s me or my dyslexia but I had to ask my partner to read pretty much all the script to me。

For those who dance with ghosts and forget to face the sun。I see you。 Did I spend my money the moment this book released just for it to destroy me in shreds， make me cry like a baby and then remake my entire self and leave a permanent， beautiful mark on my soul？Yes， yes I did。 And I finished it in the same day。I became so addicted I couldn't stop the irresistible urge to devour it in one sitting。 I can't believe a fan of fantasy romance would be able to live their life without reading this book For those who dance with ghosts and forget to face the sun。I see you。 Did I spend my money the moment this book released just for it to destroy me in shreds， make me cry like a baby and then remake my entire self and leave a permanent， beautiful mark on my soul？Yes， yes I did。 And I finished it in the same day。I became so addicted I couldn't stop the irresistible urge to devour it in one sitting。 I can't believe a fan of fantasy romance would be able to live their life without reading this book at least once。I felt every range of emotion with this book， and as a person who has and still struggles with trauma， hardship and mental health from a very long time， this book has changed my life forever。 No， I'm not exaggerating。 I had to hurt to heal with this book， to endure and climb every effing step， just like Orlaith， but it was worth it Every letter。 Every line。 Every chapter。 Every character。 Every tear。 Every joy。 Every fear。 Every hope。 Every love。 There's nothing I couldn't go without in this book， and if that's not proof of how much of a masterpiece this one was， even outstanding its predecessors， which were diamond level reads， I don't know what it will。Sarah had a well-earned spot in my top fav authors， and now she has secured it。 This complex characters have a story to tell， and I will read even 9 more books if that's what it takes to learn and explore every layer， scar and life。In short？ I'm loving Orlaith's journey， which has also become the reader's journey。 I'm impatient to see her bloom。This book deserves 5 stars and all the stars in the universe。 。。。more

5 Stars First， I want to thank Sarah for this arc。 I've been anxiously awaiting this book since Stem was released - like most of us - and am so grateful I had the chance to read this a bit early。I downloaded this last night and pulled an all-nighter because I absolutely could not put this down。 I already know this review won't do this book justice， but let me say this addition to the series is a complete masterpiece。 Sarah's writing continues to awe - her storytelling is beyond。 I felt ALL the e 5 Stars First， I want to thank Sarah for this arc。 I've been anxiously awaiting this book since Stem was released - like most of us - and am so grateful I had the chance to read this a bit early。I downloaded this last night and pulled an all-nighter because I absolutely could not put this down。 I already know this review won't do this book justice， but let me say this addition to the series is a complete masterpiece。 Sarah's writing continues to awe - her storytelling is beyond。 I felt ALL the emotions reading this and find myself absolutely in love with this world and characters。 Orlaith is my favorite FMC， seeing her growth and development throughout the each book has been so rewarding and special。This truly is the best addition of the series so far。 So much is revealed （my cynical self was shocked， as I was anxiously expecting less？） but wow - I'm floored by how much we learn， while at the same time we have barely scratched the surface of what this world holds， and new questions are quickly cropping up。 Again - I'm continually surprised by the depth of the magical world， characters， connections， everything - that Sarah has weaved。 Just when I think I can't possibly fall deeper into this story， I find myself re-reading and picking up on another clue or connection。 Is there a limit to how many times a book can reasonably be re-read？ No？ Okay awesome， because I will be re-reading this series over and over again。 And I am absolutely not a re-reader。 I loved everything about this， but seeing Orlaith grow and begin healing was especially sweet。 I won't say much about the rest of the story - because wow spoilers - but I'll just say I think most readers will be very pleased with how this story unravels。 I had no idea what I was getting my self into with this one - sure， I have about a million theories - but the way this came together went beyond my expectations。 I adored every single POV - and felt so many emotions reading this。 It's angsty， heartbreaking， and so so good - I even found myself laughing at some points。 Overall， the pacing in this was much faster than Stem。 I felt like we are launched right back into the story starting on page 1， and we aren't given a chance to catch our breath until the very end。 I will say this ends on quite a cliffhanger， but it's not quite as tragic as the ending of Stem。 Will I have a book hangover and need some recovery time？ Absolutely， but it's a bit more bearable。 Lol。 I'll probably add a lot more here after the book if officially released - because my head is filled to the brim with thoughts and theories。 。。。more

To Flame a Wild Flower was my most anticipated book of 2023。 After being completely enraptured by book 1 and 2， I had extremely high expectations for book 3。 I have been completely blown away by the absolute majesty of this series。 From beginning to end there was no single part of this book that I could have gone without， no single detail that I don’t think brought this story to life。A measly four-letter word could never encapsulate the way I feel about this this book， this series and these char To Flame a Wild Flower was my most anticipated book of 2023。 After being completely enraptured by book 1 and 2， I had extremely high expectations for book 3。 I have been completely blown away by the absolute majesty of this series。 From beginning to end there was no single part of this book that I could have gone without， no single detail that I don’t think brought this story to life。A measly four-letter word could never encapsulate the way I feel about this this book， this series and these characters。 Thank you Sarah for this absolutely devastating， heart wrenching， divine and powerful story。 I count myself incredibly lucky to be apart of Sarah ARC team and this in no way changes my thoughts or my honest review。 。。。more

To Flame a Wild Flower Scorches at Every Level！ I’m lucky to be on Sarah A。 Parker’s ARC team and my expectations were so high for this release I feared that TFAWF would fall short instead it shattered those expectations of mine and To Bleed a Crystal Bloom series is firmly rooted in my heart 💜 If you read The first two books in this epic dark romantic fantasy series， you are well aware of how many questions and secrets are skillfully woven in this tale and we finally get some insight！ I don’t w To Flame a Wild Flower Scorches at Every Level！ I’m lucky to be on Sarah A。 Parker’s ARC team and my expectations were so high for this release I feared that TFAWF would fall short instead it shattered those expectations of mine and To Bleed a Crystal Bloom series is firmly rooted in my heart 💜 If you read The first two books in this epic dark romantic fantasy series， you are well aware of how many questions and secrets are skillfully woven in this tale and we finally get some insight！ I don’t want to give any spoilers but I will say this， it’s the best book out of the series and it’s a roller coaster of emotions。 The masks start to come off in this installment and the twists and turns will leave you stunned。 If you think you really know who these characters are， I assure you that new depths are revealed。 It’s not often you come across a dark romance fantasy with a solid plot， machinations， mythology and a slow burn that actually pays off in spades！ Orlaith has so much ahead of her and I’m already anticipating the next release！！！ 。。。more

5 Iridescent Stars That Refuse to Blink Out⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I’m sure many of us can relate to starting a book series and finding that by the third book， it just feels like more of the same。 The characters become stagnant， the story simultaneously predictable and directionless。 Well， this is NOT that book。 In To Flame a Wild Flower， we immediately deep dive with Orlaith in her symbolic and literal tests of fortitude and resilience。 We witness her journey of trusting her heart with others but more impor 5 Iridescent Stars That Refuse to Blink Out⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I’m sure many of us can relate to starting a book series and finding that by the third book， it just feels like more of the same。 The characters become stagnant， the story simultaneously predictable and directionless。 Well， this is NOT that book。 In To Flame a Wild Flower， we immediately deep dive with Orlaith in her symbolic and literal tests of fortitude and resilience。 We witness her journey of trusting her heart with others but more importantly with herself。 We learn that to question our worlds can be empowering。 To love， freeing。 To take destiny into our own hands， rewarding。 With heartbreakingly beautiful prose， breakneck pacing， intense twists and reveals， this book penetrates your heart， pushes you over the cliff…and you…you welcome the fall。 。。。more

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"I know the hurt is loud， but it won't always be。 One day it'll stop screaming at you。 It'll become nothing more than a whisper。"This haunting 3rd installment to the Crystal Bloom series plants us immediately back into Orlaith's dark and gritty world。 Nestled among the shadowy repercussions of Orlaith's choices， we finally begin to see streaks of light cutting through the unrelenting darkness and uncertainty of her past， present， and future。 As Sarah's immense world continues to expand ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️"I know the hurt is loud， but it won't always be。 One day it'll stop screaming at you。 It'll become nothing more than a whisper。"This haunting 3rd installment to the Crystal Bloom series plants us immediately back into Orlaith's dark and gritty world。 Nestled among the shadowy repercussions of Orlaith's choices， we finally begin to see streaks of light cutting through the unrelenting darkness and uncertainty of her past， present， and future。 As Sarah's immense world continues to expand， we get to learn more about each character inside and out。 Long-held secrets are revealed， but in true Sarah fashion， more sprout in their wake。 This is Dark Fantasy at its finest。 Gritty。 Real。 Twisted。 Emotional。 However， in Flame， we also have moments of joy and light that help soothe the sting of Stem's abrupt end。What truly sets this story apart are its characters。 All of them are wonderfully morally grey and complicated， but Orlaith is one of my favorite characters of all time。 She is hauntingly and tangibly real。 A fully fledged person with flaws and self-destructive tendencies， hobbies， people she loves， demons inside of her fighting to come to light。 We truly see Orlaith grow in Flame and watching her vulnerability， strength， and tenacity start to sprout was so gratifying。 To Flame a Wild Flower is a book for people who have ever felt like they couldn't go on， but did。 It is a book for people who have found themselves lacking but allowed themselves to feel goodness， love， or forgiveness anyway。 It is a book about hope。 About defying fate， despite the uncertainty of each new day。 It is a book about people with loud hurts， brave enough to wait for the days when all they hear are whispers。One of my favorite series of all time。 Thank you Sarah A。 Parker for your words。This is an ARC review。 All thoughts and opinions are my own。 。。。more

Where to even begin。。。 To Flame a Wild Flower was a WILD ride， but one I would gladly let Sarah A。 Parker take me on any day of the week。 She has such a talent for showcasing a full range of emotions in her books， expressed so powerfully and genuinely--you can't help but feel everything alongside her characters。 She doesn't shy away from the tough subjects， doesn't give us cut and dry heroes and villains。 She gives us everything。 Orlaith's growth in this book is phenomenal。 We get ample POVs and Where to even begin。。。 To Flame a Wild Flower was a WILD ride， but one I would gladly let Sarah A。 Parker take me on any day of the week。 She has such a talent for showcasing a full range of emotions in her books， expressed so powerfully and genuinely--you can't help but feel everything alongside her characters。 She doesn't shy away from the tough subjects， doesn't give us cut and dry heroes and villains。 She gives us everything。 Orlaith's growth in this book is phenomenal。 We get ample POVs and juicy tidbits we've been waiting on since starting with To Bleed a Crystal Bloom。 The book MOVES- so much action and character development happening。 This is THE must read series for dark fantasy lovers。 No one builds characters and a world like Sarah A。 Parker does。 。。。more

Okay update: my review since reading Flame。 This came out at 11 pm for me on the 29th of March and I stayed up till 5 am reading， and then I finished it on March 30th at nearly midnight， so I am running very low on sleep and brains。 This book is marvelous。 Wonderful。It is such a hard， difficult read because it deals with such hard topics。 Loss， death， grieving， love， hurt， betrayal。。。。But whew this was beautiful。 This made my heart feel whole。 Sarah has a way of creating characters who live in t Okay update: my review since reading Flame。 This came out at 11 pm for me on the 29th of March and I stayed up till 5 am reading， and then I finished it on March 30th at nearly midnight， so I am running very low on sleep and brains。 This book is marvelous。 Wonderful。It is such a hard， difficult read because it deals with such hard topics。 Loss， death， grieving， love， hurt， betrayal。。。。But whew this was beautiful。 This made my heart feel whole。 Sarah has a way of creating characters who live in the middle ground。。。not good or evil but in some gray shadow in between。 There were times when I disliked Orlaith， and times when I loved her and hurt for her。 And times when I felt certain ways about other characters （let me just say that Baze is my favorite of all）。 I've come to love these characters， and they are familiar to me， and it is so sad closing a book and knowing that there is a long wait until the next one。 I'm so excited to see where this goes next。 To see Orlaith continue to grow and heal and take control of whatever that power is that she has and use it and wield it。 When my brain is not mush， I'll come back here and update with my theories。 Overall， best book of the series （so far）ALSO: My prediction for the next books name is:To Tame A Tangled Thread🥀🌋😭🤯 。。。more
