I was in no way prepared for ANY of the twists in this book, including THE MEANING OF THE TITLE 😭

Absolutely amazing as always ++ a cliffhanger that's breaking my heart

-- ty to the author, the publisher and Netgalley for an advanced copy!

This is book 3 of a planned quartet and comes out June 4, 2024. If you like romantasy with fierce FMCs, enemies to lovers, found family, and forced proximity, this series is for you! I am beside myself with that ending and can’t wait for the next book!

Can’t believe I got my hands on a copy of this. I read the first two books last year and could not believe how long I needed to wait for the 3rd. Even though it’s been awhile since I’ve been in this world, the author does an AMAZING job of reimmersing you and I felt like I picked up right where I left off. I was obsessed with Lor and Nadir BUT more so Gabriel. He quickly became my favorite character and I’m so glad we got so much of him. The ending is a giant cliff hanger (be prepared, it’s a doozy) I will be patient till November, I just love this series so much

Another fantastic installment to the series! I had so much fun reading Fate of the Sun Queen! I am DESPERATELY waiting for the next book with bated breath!

I've enjoyed this series but there's something about it that just hasn't hooked me like other romantasy.

Thanks to the publisher for the advanced copy!

I had a bit of trouble getting into *Fate of the Sun King* at first because the pace was slow. However, as I continued reading, I found myself really enjoying the story. The tension between the two main characters grew more intense and gripping as the plot developed.

By the end of the book, I was left feeling devastated. I’m especially curious about what happened to Gabriel and how his story will turn out. Despite the slow start, the book offers a powerful and moving experience that makes it worth sticking with.

I don't know how anyone is supposed to function after an ending like that...

The thing is, spoiler, not spoiler since everyone is expecting a cliffhanger reading the third book before the finale, it's not just ONE cliffhanger—it's multiple!!! I've never wanted to throw my book more when there were no more pages to flip to.

These endings make me imagine the author maniacally laughing as they write the final chapters, knowing the torment they will give us readers.

So creative. So devious. How does your mind work? I need book four now!

I have this weird habit of either expecting too much from the third sequel or expecting too little. I'll admit I did'nt have high expectations for this one. I am not particularly sure as to why really. Maybe I was trying to protect myself from disappointment from the possibility of my favorite series flopping. But, I had no reason to worry because Nisha Tuli knocked it out of the park.

It brought everything I love: adventure, romance, side-character plots, found family, lgbt rep, cool magic system, newfound powers, and unexpected twists.

It was seriously so good and I am beyond excited for the fourth book. Everything was paced gracefully and for how long this series is, it made perfect sense with all the events that have taken place. I am obsessing!!

Fate of the Sun King is absolutely phenomenal. I gave 5 stars to the first two books in the series, but this one deserves a 6/5. I loved everything from the evolution of Nadir and Lor’s relationship, to finding more about the past of Ouranos. I can’t wait to see how things unfold in the last book.

This series just keeps getting better and better! This book dives deeper into the world’s origins and lore (no pun intended) and not everything is as it might seem. With heart racing moments and plenty of spice, it was hard to put down. The cliffhanger will leave you desperate for the conclusion!

MY HEART!!! I almost threw my Kindle across the room with that ending
Kicking off book three, Nadir and Lor are continuing their quest to get revenge on the Aurora King, but they need to talk to the Mirror again and get an important object of The Heart Queen. This book follows the POV of Lor, Nadir, Gabriel, and flashbacks of the past. It steps up in the action, tension, and spice all while giving us a deeper dive behind the history of Ouranos. Chapters 26 and 27 had me fanning myself! All I need now is for November to come faster so I can get my hands on the final book so I can stop thinking about the cliffhanger!

Wow did this one turn up the heat! I loved seeing Lor and Nadir grow together as they worked to reclaim Lor's magic. This might be my favorite in the series so far! NJT delivers on the spice and the emotion throughout this book, while also really expanding on the worldbuilding for Ouranos. At first, I was unsure how to feel about the chapters which flashed back thousands of years, but I ultimately think that it adds a lot of context that will likely be important in Book 4. The ending was so wild and such a cliffhanger--Tale of the Heart Queen cannot come fast enough!

Possibly spoiler-y quotes I loved:



"He makes me feel things I never expected to feel. Safe. Wanted. Beautiful. Like my flaws aren't a series of mistakes but rather the essential pieces that make me who I am."

"If anything happens to her, it will destory me. Nothing will put the pieces back together if my father gets his hands on her. I'll be a shattered crystal statue, ground to nothing but razor-sharp dust."

"I've been tending a patch of weeds while he's been growing me a garden."

"Never underestimate the enduring fragility of a man who suffers from a lack of confidence."

"I need you to understand that someday I am going to make a choice when it comes to my father. One that might show you I'm not a good person, and I hope that you'll be able to forgive me for it."

**I received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review

😘😌🥺🤬🥵

Five emojis to sum up the reading over here. I may not have a heart any more, but I can't wait for the final book. Nisha has once again made my heart happy and then ripped it out all at once.

Fate of the Sun King is a book I had been itching to get my hands on after reading the first two in the Artefacts of Ouranos series. I was a little worried though because usually when a book is expected to be longer than a trilogy, book 3 is usually where things start to flatline for me. Thankfully this was not the case.

We dive right back into the world and start to get more pieces of Lor's story. This series is definitely a beautifully painful slow burn but things start to pick up steam in this one and I am here for it! We get multiple POVs which I always enjoy since it always helps the story feel faster paced and I am less likely to lag and lose steam. Nisha's writing is so enjoyable and easy to get caught in and not stop. I could not put this down and was screaming by the end, because warning! Crazy cliffhanger in sight. But, thankfully book 4 is set to release not long after this one so we won't be heartbroken for too long.

Thank you so much to Nisha, NetGalley, and Forever Publishing for this ARC! Fingers crossed I'll get book 4 because I will not be able to wait for that one's publication date.

I REALLY enjoyed this installment of the Ouranos! The ending quite literally ripped my heart out, so get ready for that… but the growth, the love, the burn🥵🥵
So well done that you’re left begging for the next one!!

This series is everything! Fate of the Sun King makes it so much more! It’s full of intrigue, adventure, secrets and history revealed, magic, and such good spice. They finally get over themselves and get together in this one as Nisha promised!

I was on the edge of my seat and couldn’t put it down. I almost threw my kindle at times! It was an emotional roller coaster in all the good ways until my heart was ripped from my chest! Which I loved and can’t wait for the next book!

If you wanted more Gabriel from book one, then you will get more of him in this one! We get more about his relationship with the Sun King, more about the Sun King and of course his fate!

Lor continues on her mission of self discovery and vengeance! I love how bad@ss she is and her banter with Nadir the Aurora King! Their story and adventure is so good! Must read! And check out some of my favorite quotes.

Book 3 in the series 'Artefacts of Ouranos' gives us another piece to the puzzle, further building on the first two books. The multi-book slow burn picks up steam, we learn more bits to the story with multiple povs, and there are still definitely some characters I'd ove to see unalive. The character glossary at the beginning of the book was helpful in reminding us who was who and what their role in the series is. I loved this helpful guide. I still love Nisha's writing, her author voice is one of my favorites. There was no surprise, I couldn't put the book down. I can not wait to see how she will end this series.

“The blood of your enemies, Lor. Ask me, and I’ll slay anyone for you. Burn the world to ash if you desire.” -Nadir 🥵🔥
"If anyone dares lay a hand on you, I will make them bleed. I once broke a woman's arm for stealing my soap, imagine what I'd do if someone hurt my mate." - Lor 👏🏻

I really enjoyed the book, the series as a whole is well written and the story is compelling. I had previously purchased the first two books in this series for our library and the response has been great! Our clients have been requesting this series. I have also now purchased this book for our library and with the cliffhanger it ended on I’m eager to purchase the 4th book as well for our readers once it becomes available.

I am absolutely in love with this series and was very excited to see what happened next.. already preordered the last book so I’m ready to jump into that when it’s time. I love the characters and the world and just everything. Definitely one of my favorite authors!

The book had me hooked from the dedication page! I find that many book series start to lose me around book 3 because they often are "filler" but this book was the opposite. It was still very plot-heavy as well as romance-heavy. Nisha has done a wonderful job with a slow-burn enemies to lovers romance and I am so excited for book four. I also loved the side characters - they really added dimension and a whole lote of feelings throughout the book. Nisha truly knows how to make it so each character is unique and adds something special to the page. Also the ending cliffhanger - waiting until November is going to be tough!
