That. Ending. Our girl Nisha knows exactly how to leave a b*tch on the edge of her seat on an advance review copy with the final installment months away but honestly this book was so good and did such a thorough job of expanding the lore and answering questions about the realm, the characters, etc. She also does stick to her promise and let them do it in this one, probs s
J/5 on spice level. I'm also
obsessed with her bringing Gabriel back in and cannot *wait* for more of his story. Now pls give us book 4 so I may know peace (unless my faves die in which case ill live in blissful ignorance thx)

I’ve been reading these since they were indie and am IN LOVE!!
From characters to world building and magic, Nisha never fails to deliver.

This book was a pleasant surprise! I went in with low expectations because the second book was just okay for me but I’m so glad I decided to keep reading the series! I loved where the story went and the growth of the characters. Plus that cliffhanger?! So happy the final book is already out so I don’t have to wait to find out what happens!

Incredible next installment! The series just gets better and better- this is my favorite out of the books. There is mystery, a mission, questions answered, but more questions asked. The cliff-hanger is brutal! Cannot wait for the next book.

This is definitely a series that needs to be read from the beginning! I would describe it as a combination of The Hunger Games and Fourth Wing. Tuli's writing is luscious. From the first sentence of book 1 to the last sentence of this final installment, the intensity of the relationships, the banter between characters, and the sizzle between lovers keeps the pages turning at a frenzied pace. Readers will be hard pressed to slow down and truly savor how fun this series truly is. Definitely some unique twists and turns along the way.

4.5 ⭐️

and just like that it’s over???? what an epic conclusion my jaw literally has not picked up since i put this book DOWN. i adore everything tuli writes and while i’m
incredibly heartbroken to see this series end, i cannot wait to see what else she has in store, i’ll be the first to scream about it!!!!

The ending and finally seeing more romance is what saved this book from me! It was good, but not my favorite in the series. The cliffhanger is what really will be pushing me to pick up the next book!

I’m happy to finally see growth in Lor and Nadir’s relationship. I’ve been itching for more this whole series and finally this book satisfied the itch lol. I also really enjoyed getting a POV from Gabriel and getting inside his head with where he stands.

I will say this book felt VERY long to me and not like a lot happened?! This could be a me thing but i felt like it could have been shorter book. However, i did overall enjoy it. I liked the twists, romance (with some added spice 😉) and the twists and insight of Gabriel. I will definitely be picking up the next one to see where that cliffhanger takes us!

Are these books reinventing the genre? No. Are there a lot of well trodden tropes in this? Absolutely yes. Is it an excellent time? ALSO YES! This series is such a fun ride -- it's so fast paced and it keeps you on your toes the whole time. The tension between Lor and Nadir is exquisite (if a little torturous at times) and the plot twists are non-stop. If you want a fun romantasy series, this one is for you. I can't wait to read the next.

Nisha J. Tuli's Fate of the Sun King is an amazing continuation of the series that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. The alternating timelines and multiple points of view create a rich and complex narrative, with the addition of Gabriel's POV being a welcome and exciting twist. It adds depth to the story and gives a new perspective on the events unfolding.

The plot is packed with action, though there are moments where it feels a bit slow. However, that’s only because the story is so gripping that it makes you eager to see what happens next. The world-building is fantastic, and the characters are truly unforgettable. Lor, in particular, is a standout—strong, fierce, and a fantastic FMC (female main character). Her growth throughout the story is one of the highlights, and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for her in the final book.

The character development and the theme of found family are woven so beautifully into the story. The bonds between the characters feel like a big warm hug, adding emotional depth to the thrilling adventure. With so many questions still to be answered, I’m both excited and a little nervous for the final book, but I know it’s going to be worth the wait!

The third book in the series did not disappoint. The story got more complex in some ways and also much clearer in others. It's packed with information about the world, its history, and how it involves all the character. The story connects what happened in book one with the Sun King and also what happened in book two with the Aurora Prince and King FMC... learning so much about herself and the dynamics around that involve her. The FMC gets resolution on some trauma that happened to her in book one and we get to see some justice done for many of characters.

He does end somewhat tragically... until I am guessing the fourth book brings a solution to a seemingly heartbreaking situation.

My only issue is some aspects of the story are definitely dragged on -- we could probably have sped up her coming into her power narrative and avoided going into a 4th book but overall still enjoying and interested in this story.

I cannot get enough of Nisha Tuli. Every story, every character could rip my heart out and put it back together again. Fate of the sun king is no different.

I will be moving on to book 4 asap!

This installment of the Ouranos series delivers an immersive blend of intrigue, romance, and breathtaking world-building that will leave fans both satisfied and desperate for more. Picking up seamlessly from the previous book, it dives deeper into the magic, politics, and evolving relationships within the richly crafted world. The multi-POV narrative adds layers to the story, with highlights including Lor and Nadir’s intensifying romance (a treat for those craving spice) and Gabriel’s lovable grumpiness, which brings both levity and depth. The portrayal of LGBTQ+ characters as integral to the story is refreshing, celebrating diversity in a way that feels both authentic and heartwarming.

The plot’s complexity shines through its web of shifting alliances, fateful connections, and emotional healing journeys. Characters like Lor, Willow, and Tristan are particularly compelling as they navigate nuanced dynamics and their respective destinies. While the pacing leans slower and more information-heavy, the interludes allow for meaningful character development and intricate world-building, balancing the intense, action-packed moments.

The romance, though a satisfying slow burn, has sparked mixed feelings. After significant build-up, some might find the pivotal romantic moment slightly underwhelming, though it still resonates with emotional charm. The book’s criminally tantalizing cliffhanger ensures the wait for the next installment will be unbearable, yet the journey thus far is undeniably worth it.

I am so interested in this storyline and am looking forward to book four. Again, this book is also spicy so if that isn't your jam then skip this series.

If you don't like to read spicy scenes in books (like myself) then I recommend you skip/skim the following chapters:

Thank you so much to Forever Pub for this advanced copy on NetGalley! 🤍

Nisha J Tuli has crafted such a fun universe. This third installment is just as fun as the first two. There's more drama, more falling love and lots more political intrigue and shenanigans. I absolutely love Lor and Nadir, but this book made me start appreciating the side characters just as much. I'm so find of all their siblings and friends. Gabriel really started to shine in this one too!

This may not be my favourite book in the series, partly due to the pacing in the second half. However, it created a fantastic foundation for everything that will take place in the last installment, Tale of the Heart Queen!

Thank you so much Forever Pub for introducing me to a new favourite series and giving me the opportunity to review this book!

I love this series and this book is no different!!!! Oh and the cliffhanger....ugh. So good. Seeing these characters continue to grow makes me so happy. Lot and Nadir are amazing and seeing them finally come together.... chef's kiss! And not just them but the side characters are so good. I can't wait to read book 4 and see how this story ends. It just keeps getting better and better and more and more pieces are coming together.

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publishing Company for this Advanced Readers Copy of The Fate of the Sun King by Nisha J. Tuli!

Oh I gobbled this up!! I did a reread of the first two prior and the story just continues flawlessly. There are so many unexpected twists but they are done so well they don’t over complicate the story. Adding another villain ups the tension and stakes in an incredible way. The steam level is SPOT ON and I just love a great slow burn. THAT CLIFFHANGER THOUGH 😩😩 you’re killing us!!

Nisha Tuli gives us what we crave with a new POV! As a Gabriel STAN I appreciated the look into his backstory more. I think reading book 1/2 what made them so interesting was it was a mystery being solved; the more we read the more pieces of the puzzle we received. That motivated me to breeze through the first two books. Book 3 lagged a bit in the story line for me. I know throughout the book were anticipating the huge scene between Lor and Nadir (which thank you that didn’t dissapoint!) but I found myself wanting to get to the action sooner. The flashback scenes were the most satisfying to me because I had so many “Ah-ha” moments. Overall I’ve enjoyed this and I’m excited for the final installment.

4.75 rounded up.

WOW. WHAT A CLIFFHANGER! I really loved this one. The romance between Nadir and Lor could rival Chapter 54&55 in ACOTAR. I loved seeing them come together in this book. I found the flashbacks to the Kings and Queens of age one to be confusing at first but it all came together. Overall, I really enjoyed this one and can't wait to read the final installment!

Thank you to the author and Forever pub for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I keep falling more in love with this series. The way the characters are written and evolve. Seeing Lor come into her own and the amazing slow burn romance .. *swoons*. This book was more fast paced and really had so much more of the puzzle pieces fall into place which made it so satisfying to read. I felt like we were being given the story plus pieces of what we would need to fit everything together and it just fit together so seamlessly. Some truly staggering revelations about the history of Ouranos and some of the players in this story. I had a hard time putting this book down. Cant wait for the final installment because ... THAT CLIFFHANGER !!!!
