The Panom Saga #3
Petals for Broken Wings
A Queen who claimed a throne.
Three armies who will bleed for their land.
When the Cardinal Queen broke free from her curse, the skies filled with sangins, and Thyria began to die.
Hope Nevada, the Daughter of Red, never wanted a crown. She wanted her throne as Organ Mandor, and a future for the island she was born to defend. To outlast the Queen’s fury, she must gather the fragments of a broken heart, scattered across East, West, North, and South Petals, and buried deep in the Core where Thyria itself trembles. Each fragment recovered is a step closer to the power they need… and closer to the cost no one dared expect.
Ciaran Castel, the Son of Darkness, stands at her side, shadows at his command, bound to her by fate and by choice. Together with their armies and unyielding allies, they strike bargains in fire and shadow, reckoning with the brutal arithmetic of magic and sacrifice. Inked threats, stolen stars, and the lure of forbidden rites force them to ask what they are willing to lose for the sake of survival.
Hope must reclaim a throne and a nation.
Ciaran must choose whether to command the night, or be consumed by it.
Bound by magic and destiny, they carry one final weapon strong enough to save their world. But in Thyria, where powers shatter and Cardinals devour, love is never safe.
This is the third and final novel of The Panom Saga, a dark, epic romantic fantasy trilogy. Expect star-crossed lovers, divine wars, forbidden magic, fantasy that bleeds, and love that reshapes kingdoms. For readers of The Serpent and the Wings of Night, A Court of Thorns and Roses, and The Bridge Kingdom—where love is as deadly as it is divine.

I can't believe how much this book had my heart in it's grip and oh how that grip squeezed!
The third and final book jumps straight in from book 2 and it doesn't stop! So many gut punches right from the get go and with no time to really adjust something else grabbed at my nerves, keeping me on edge, never letting me get comfortable.
There is so much I could unpack with the finale of this story, but I fear in doing so it would take away the impact of events that occurred and how the characters dealt with things.
The magic system is still something that I find makes this series stand out a little from other books in the genre and the descriptions of the settings and surroundings are vivid enough to capture you're imagination to envisage everything clearly.
I adore the characters and their attitudes, their closeness and fierce loyalty. They fight for each other with no regard for consequences, nothing is more important to them than each other.
The Queen is awful. The group do everything they can do to bring her down, it's just, in the end not everyone gets their happy ending. I was in a constant state of whiplash of being devastated, elated and devastated again. A proper roller coaster of emotion.
I am heartbroken at losses, I am delighted with unions and I think when an author can really get inside your head, make you love, laugh and cry with their characters, it's a definite 5 star read.

Thank you to the author for approving me to read this book, I can’t believe its over!!
The final book of the series really pulls the story together as it builds to the end. There’s a massive fight unfolding that could make or break the world. There’s grief for whats already been lost along the way, bonds forged stronger than ever and sacrifice to do what needs to be done.
The ending had my heart beatinggg, I felt a lot of emotions for the characters. There’s a few surprises along the story, but the ending just takes you back abit as they have come so far and yet you ask yourself if they did enough because there’s a lot at stake and battle is ugly.
Highly recommend this fast paced series with unique magic and a little spice along the way.

I’m so sad this journey is over!
There so much to unpack in this final instalment i’m not quite sure where to start. let’s just say it wasn’t a “light read” it was emotional, gripping, heartbreaking, exciting, romantic, there’s wins there’s losses. In a nutshell it’s pretty much everything you’d want to wrap up a pretty epic trilogy.
Congrats Martha you smashed it girl 🥂

I have been a Martha Monteval since the day the first book in this series came out. Safe to say, I am in love with her writing style and the world she’s created in this three-part series. This series holds a special place in my heart and my Kindle. I recommend it to anyone looking for a good fantasy series with incredible world-building and characters.
The third book, Petals for Broken Wings was a WILD RIDE! What an emotional rollercoaster. Let me first talk about the end of the book. The last few chapters were incredibly well-written, each detail hashed out so beautifully that I could feel every emotion of every person in the Cardinal Temple. I just couldn’t put it down until I finished the entire fight sequence.
Hope is an incredible character and one of my favourite female MCs. Lena comes in a close second, but I have been a bit partial to her since the first book. In writing the conclusion to this series, the author, I am sure, has broken many reader hearts because there will be no more Panoms, Courtrades and Thyria.
The last line of this book (you must read it to know what I am saying) is intentional (I am sure) and very impactful. After seeing destruction, readers are left with a hope for the future as Hope and Ciaran begin to rebuild alongside their friends.
In today’s times, we all need a little hope to deal with whatever is happening in the world, no matter which country we reside in. And when the ending has a good vs evil battle, with the good coming out on top, it's always a satisfying read.

Very thankful to the author to have received an ARC of this book, and what a way to finish the trilogy!
The fast moving plot with the multiple POVs make for a dynamic story and a gripping read, and it was far too easy to get sucked into the ‘just one more chapter’ cycle.
Characters full of sass and wit (and I think a very appropriate amount of swearing for the situation!) that you can’t help but love, and the author does a brilliant job of weaving emotion into the story. It was brilliant being able to explore more of the unique world and magic system, and very satisfactory ending to the series!

Why did this book have to start with so much death and heartache… I was not emotionally prepared at all. For a magic system that revolves around balance, everything felt so painfully unbalanced this time. The losses just kept coming, and honestly… knowing that you'll die five times?! That must be hard to know.
I just really wish the ending had shown us more of the future. After everything they went through, I wanted to see what comes next and how things settle. Are there no more Houses needed now? What does the world even look like going forward? I have so many questions… and a slightly broken heart. But it was an epic series with an epic ending. The pet names are a bit cringe, in my opinion, especially the ones Ciaran and Hope use, but really who am I to judge.
100% recommended!

Romance, action, battles, twists, loss, courage, family, hope & love! The final book in the Panom saga was a great fast paced read! And the ending, what a great way to wrap the saga up. We saw our favourite characters fight back against the Cardinal Queen (some against the Cardinal Goddesses as well). Cried with them & felt hope & determination with them. Thank you for a great series. I am obsessed with Lenna & Jake! I wish to be as strong & stubborn & undeterred like Lenna!
I was lucky enough to receive a free arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This series had me hooked because of the unique magic system, but I stayed for the characters and their dynamics. Martha Monteval writes in an easy to read yet captivating style.
It’s been a wild ride. I had my heart torn out, ripped to pieces, sewn back together for it to break again. And isn’t that really what we’re looking for in a book?
And this might be silly, but I really loved the fact it starts out with a recap of where we’re at in Hope’s life. That’s something I miss in a lot of books in ongoing series. This way you can just jump in the story and enjoy.
I’m already looking forward to Martha’s next projects. If they’re anything like this series I’m already a fan!

This one was a wild ride!
As the last part of a trilogy, this one ends the main storyline but also leaves many open ends. For the answers I think we can only wait until the next series comes along.
So much happens in this book, so many wins and losses. This wasn't a light read, I really had to be focused to be able to keep all the storylines straight but it was worth it!
Congratulations to you Martha, for completing your first trilogy, and thank you again for having me on the ARC team!

Wow! What an ending. Martha’s writing is so easy to read, I love that we got to see/hear from all of the main characters. This book is an emotional roller coaster from the start. Once again the magic in this book was so exciting to read. I am going to miss these character and this world!

The sparks and shadows are back but with a new creature called sangins and a Queen that wants to reclaim her power and position. This series is truly one of a kind. It will put you on a tilt o war of emotions. The friendship and loyalty these characters have for each other is goals! The last chapter alone was 5 stars.

Thank you for the ARC!
3.5 stars! What a great way to finish the series! This book picks up at the end of book 2 and has plenty of twists and turns in the finale!

OMG this book was a rollercoaster, I'm happy, I'm sad, I'm shocked, I'm on the edge of my seat and then the cycle happens all over again. Fantastic end to the trilogy, its wild from start to finish.

Petals for Broken Wings by Martha Monteval is book 3 in The Panom Saga Series.
“To the beings who stepped on the ashes of their own destroyed souls. To the beings who set the world on fire when they were born.”
- Martha Monteval
Petals for Broken Wings was one of the best books I’ve read in a while. Wow! Not only has the author, Martha Monteval, created a well-constructed story, but she also kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire book. There were no slow moments and no boring, long-winded explanations. Every word had a purpose.
As book two in the series did, Petals for Broken Wings begins with a short recap that summarizes where we are in the MFC’s life. I found this exceptional, especially since some time had passed since I finished book two and I needed a refresher. Imagined societies often require extra care when reintroducing readers to their worlds, and this was handled beautifully.
The premise of the story revolves around the main group of characters who, after being successful in most of their adventures in book two, realize they must return to their lands and defeat their nemesis. The author’s use of love, commitment, and trust creates an endearing connection between the characters and the story itself. I felt connected to each character, like I was in the war room during battle planning or nearby when two characters were sharing their deepest feelings. I genuinely wanted to see them succeed.
This book also introduces more humor and sexual encounters. I giggled out loud during conversations with a ghost and felt my temperature rise during several love scenes. All of these were tastefully delivered and delightfully steamy.
The story is powerful, fast-moving, and never dull. It was inspiring and a true joy to read, the kind of book that leaves you feeling a little sad when it ends. Without giving away any spoilers, I can say that love always prevails, but in this story, it takes a little time. And it is absolutely worth it.
World Building – Author includes a map of the World. Very intricate and sometimes puzzling, but the author goes to great lengths to describe in detail what we as readers are to be seeing and experiencing. Readers need to make sure they understand how the characters move – that is very important.
Plot – Magical, Political and Emotional Romantasy
Spice – 🌶 🌶🌶 🌶 Spice level was perfect for a Romantasy in my opinion. And the sheer passion that emanates from these characters only adds to the story.
Fantasy Tropes – Evil Society, Revenge, Mystical Beings and gods
Interesting to me – Fascinating and Unique Magical System and Doctrines, along with delightful use of imaginary forms of transportation and magical communication via temporary writings appearing on the arm!
Triggers – Violence & Death, Sexually Explicit, Physical Abuse, Emotional Abuse, Mutilation

Happy endings can still be heartbreaking and not happily ending enough ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
At the end, there was no fear, but sorrow for a love story never truly lived. (A & N 💔)
What a rollercoster, this story delivered one gut punch after another and almost the whole book my stomach was in knots. 💔
I have to admit that in my deepest desperation momets I gave into the need of scrolling here for spoilers to morally prepare myself for what lays ahead…
As there were none, I hope my review might give you some reassurance or hope while reading on 💔

There is no women more devoted than the molten fire and her relentlessness will eventually grant her, her biggest wish, after all, no force is stronger than love.

There is nothing more valuable than time, and nothing that can steal our time like fear. At the end, there will be no more fear, but sorrow for the waisted opportunities never lived. Always tell your loved ones what you feel, cause waiting for the right time might lead to a love story never truly lived.

So sorry to see this series end but this was a really fitting end. ❤️
This final book in the Panom Saga is a fast paced, action packed conclusion. What an absolute ride of emotions. Martha made every single character fight for this ending right to the last page! It was hard fought with many twists and turns, and some unexpected moments.
I loved the way all the story arcs were rounded off and we got to see all the emotions each character went through. It was a really satisfying conclusion although heartbreaking in so many places. There was a lot happening and we get multiple POVs once again in this book, which really helps the story move fluidly through all the goings on without losing any impact.
This is a great series of books with a rally unique, detailed magic system and interesting, immersive world building. The main cast of characters have depth and personality and are really well developed throughout the series.
It has been such a pleasure to be part of the ARC team for the whole of this series. A huge thank you to Martha Monteval for the opportunity. Can’t wait to see what comes next. ❤️ All thoughts and opinions are my own and honestly/voluntarily given.

An epic and thrilling fast-paced finale to the Panom Saga saw Hope, Lenna, and their tough team battling against the biggest bad yet: the Cardinal Queen freed from her captivity ready to wreak havoc on Thyria!!
This conclusion saw everything from love to loss, victory to defeat, friends to enemies, and fear to hope (and Hope)! I was engaged the whole way through, which was hard not to be when the story moved at such a fast clip that you needed to be there with our beloved characters! Now the Organ Mandor herself, Hope has to find a way to use her power to keep her people safe in this tumultuous time, and figure out what fate has in store for her and Ciaran. Having lost the love of her life’s ability to love her, Lenna is on a full on mission to break what’s keeping him from her and bring back what she wants most - all while keeping her sister safe too! Our girls had a tough run of it, but you’ll have to read to see how it shakes out for them!!
Thanks so much to Martha Monteval for a chance to read this early as a part of your ARC team!

I have so many feelings about this! This series needs more hype. There are such unique characteristics of this magic system and it is not the same old romantasy stuffed together with different names. While it is the end of a trilogy, it feels as if it is a middle book in a larger series, with all the questions left at the end. I loved the romances in this, though I felt one couple was robbed (IYKYK). It felt like the ending was a tiny bit rushed, as the final battle seemed to end so quickly (but is it REALLY the final battle?) I just am left wanting more. Take that as you will, but I am happy to see the author has another series already in the works. Hope and Lenna remain the bad*ass heroines we've known and loved and I truly hope we get to see more of them someday!
Thank you to Martha for the ARC! It's been such an amazing journey and I'm thankful for the chance to travel along with these characters and leave my honest thoughts on the way.

I was absolutely blown away by Petals for Broken Wings, the final installment of The Panom Saga! Be ready for lots of action, emotional damage, and tender moments!
The action and gut wrenching emotional damage immediately starts at the beginning of this installment and keeps you on the edge of your seat the whole time. Hope continues to demonstrate her strength and love for her found family, while Ciaran continues to be the solid rock she needs to meet her potential. The supporting characters also continue to be well developed and have strong story arcs. This is especially true of Lenna and Jake whose relationship was really left on cliffhanger at the end of the last book!
As with the other books in the trilogy, the unique world-building and magic system really shine through.

Thank you to the author for allowing me to ARC read this whole series. This review is left voluntarily.

I knew i would need tissues after the ending of book 2.
But then this one started right where it left off. It left me with all the feels right away. That was....A story of strong women, love, devotion, determination, overthrowing old ways, friendship, found family.
Lenna...her determination got to me. And it paid off. After what felt a lifetime of pain and tears. I'm happy she got that eternity bond with Jake in the end. She derserves that and more!
Hope and Ciaran, their love was such a wonderful thing to read about. Although the things they had to endure was more than just heartbreaking. But when he pulled down the stars, I was a goner!
Ayla and Nina...starsdammit. The author broke me with their story!
I'm not afraid to say I needed more than one box of tissues! But it was worth it!

This was powerful, intense, and completely consuming. The kind of ending that reminds you why you fell in love with the series in the first place. Every page carries weight. Every choice feels heavy. You can feel the cost of everything.
The love story at the center is fierce and unbreakable. Devotion, sacrifice, destiny… it’s all there, wrapped in magic and war and that epic, larger-than-life energy that makes your heart race. I’ve been attached to these characters since book one, and this felt like saying goodbye to old friends.
An absolute gem of a conclusion. Emotional, gripping, and unforgettable from start to finish.

I'll be honest, it's taken me a while to write this review, not because it wasn't amazing (which it was) but because I'm still kinda mad..... And more than a little heartbroken for Ayla & Nina and what they could have had 💔 This book rounded out the story so well, I love the characters and how they each have their own individual personalities, and how the main couples show their love for each other. This is one of my favorite trilogies I've read recently and I will continue to recommend it to everyone. I love Martha's writing and will definitely be reading any future works.

I received this book for free as an ARC, this is my honest review. I love this series, and each step, each moment, each interaction has been absolutely amazing to journey with them through it all. This did not disappoint, emotionally devastating and yet also so wonderfully written that it was worth each moment! Some parts did feel a little rushed, but overall this was an amazing read and I am so glad to have been able to read this stellar trilogy!

This was more a 4 1/2 star. Such a good series and this book was amazing and also ripped my heart out 😭 the end left me with so many questions!
At the end who is now in charge of the north house? Do the houses not need rulers? What happens now with the four gone? I have so many questions! Mainly I don't want this story to end I've grown so attached to these characters!

Well done conclusion to this story. I do feel like a lot happens in the last couple chapters that could have been expanded a few more pages, just to really give us the closure we all want. But it's also nice to be able to imagine your own HEA for the characters, it could also leave it open to have future books in the series for their existence.

4.5 stars. Martha really likes to break your heart right out of the gate! This is such an under hyped series. The characters are so raw and their friendship is heartwarming. The romantic relationships are intense and world-ending. Prepare yourself for extreme emotional damage and a book hangover!
I did feel like the ending was a bit rushed. That is why this wasn’t 5 stars for me.
