4.5⭐️ 2🌶️
The world feels so much larger now! You start book 1 with very limited scope and this book flared it open to show us a smidge of the depravity and corruption people are capable of. There are so many things to still learn and unravel in this world; I can’t wait to see where this series goes.
Orlaith and Rhordyn are still mysterious, as always. The last 150 pages of this book felt like coming home, but also like returning to a house aflame. Their problems are far from over.
The slow reveal of all the characters’ backstories keeps me wanting more!
•Darker than the previous books in the series
•Torture/Prisoners
•Political Corruption
•Self Hatred/Destruction
•Prophecies
•Shapeshifters

This series got way better as it went on. A lot of questions answered in this book. So much chaos.

That's it, I'm a full stan now. In previous reviews for the previous two books, I talked a lot about how the plot was slow to hook me (but that changed a ton in the second book), and more importantly, how I just didn't like the characters. That changed in this book.
To Flame a Wild Flower is where I felt that Orlaith and Rhordyn both fully embraced where this path is leading them, and it's what helped me to see them as fully complex characters I could identify with, although in different ways. I was able to finally empathize with them and what they each went through.
I also really appreciated how layered Parkers' worldbuilding got here. We were able to get into the history of current conflicts, through multiple different groups' cultures, and I was able to appreciate how well-rounded her story is.
I am now ravenous for the next book, and unfortunately that wait will take awhile.

This series is a little all over the place and the main character annoys the crap out of me at times, especially in this book. I almost gave it a 2 star rating, but I found it more redeeming by the end.

AITA for not understanding what's going on in this book by this point? I feel like I missed a whole series of books to explain the backgrounds and it drove me crazy. The same could be said about the constant reference to building internal domes?? I could not visualize what was going on while reading most of this series and ended up skipping segments while reading. It seemed like a bit of repetition and the FMC was still annoying at this point but at least she realized how naive and stubborn she was acting thanks in part to her upbringing and total cluelessness for literally anything that related to her!
