This book really had me feeling every emotion from start to finish. I was either smiling and laughing or crying. It was an absolute wild ride and I enjoyed every second of it.
All I have to say is that the next book must come sooner. This has become one of my favorite series of all time.

I'm 1000% convinced that Nisha J. Tuli saw my reviews for Trial of the Sun Queen & Rule of the Aurora King, took it personally, and proceeded to put all she had into this book (& I'm hoping the last book too 🤭). Any comment or critique (lol but to be fair, who do I think I am..) I may have had about those books, didn't exist in this one. The current trajectory of this series, for me, has been consistently up ↗️. Which is actually very surprising to me for a fantasy/romance series. More often than not, in a fantasy series of 3+ books it has looked more like 📈. I've really liked/loved the first book- enough to invest in the series- only to have the second or third book fall flat until the conclusion. I'm stubborn enough that if I invested in the first 2 books of a series, I'm seeing it through no matter what. One of my many flaws.

That hasn't been the case though with Artefacts of Ouranos and I think Tuli's decision to wrap up the series in 4 books was a great call. Every book so far has outdone the book prior and that's honestly something of a rarity for me. This book may have solidified the entire series as one of my go-to recommendations, especially for brand new baby fantasy/romance readers. I get the Throne of Glass comparisons from a marketing standpoint, but I can't help but wish this book/series could stand on its own legs because Nisha deserves it.

Ok sorry, this review unintentionally became a series (so far) review, but this book was fantastic. You must read the first 2 books in the series and the glossary in the beginning (it's hilarious 😂). I continue to be enthralled by the lush world building, magic, and romance. I can't wait to see what's next for Nadir and Lor.

Thank you to Forever pub for the opportunity to review this early! 🫶🏼

Nisha writing is absolutely flawless, I love how she captures every little detail about the characters and world building which makes you feel fully immersed into the story.
I love the tension between nadir and Lor, their relationship is so beautiful and electrifying!

Enemies to lovers trope is my favourite and this was so well done!
I loved reading Nadirs POV and how he really felt about Lor. It was interesting to read about Gabriel too I actually really like him in this and seeing his character grow.

The pacing was great with some twists and turns, secrets revealed, love and despair with so much heartbreak at the end. Why does it have to end that way? I need more! Loved it can’t wait for book 4!
Thanks Netgalley/publisher for providing me with this ARC 🙂

That ending was Cruel, Nisha.

I don’t know how I’m going to make it until November.

Fate of the Sun King is my favorite book in the quartet so far, and I’ll even go so far as to say it’s my favorite book that Nisha J Tuli has written. This series has spun itself from a Bachelor meets Hunger Games trial to a true epic romantic fantasy that I can’t get enough of. The world building is phenomenal and the character development is even better. I adore how each of the POVs leave breadcrumbs to hint at a bigger picture that is still eluding me. This book totally immersed me into the world and I was breathlessly turning the pages. There is so much at stake and so many moving pieces that I can’t even hope to predict what will happen next. This series is shaping up to be one of my favorites of all time and I will forever be grateful that I decided to pick up these books. Trust me, you want to read them.

Thank you so much to NetGalley and Forever Publishing for the ARC!

I’m trying to make it a habit to write my reviews right after I finish the book before I forget any details or feelings that I want to share. For Fate of the Sun King, I somehow have so much to say, but at the same time, I’m entirely speechless. 😶

Thank you to NetGalley & Forever for this early copy of Fate of the Sun King by Nisha J. Tuli. All opinions are my own!

Fate of the Sun King is the third book in this series, and it picks up right after the second book (Rule of the Aurora King). If you haven’t read the first and second book yet, I’ll refrain from spoiling anything by not including a synopsis.

I’ll start off by saying, this book is way different from the first and second book in terms of plot and character development. And also. Spice, spice baby (sung to the tune of Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice). This one has way more spice than the previous two books, and I’m not mad about it. 🌶️🥵

Like Trial of the Sun Queen and Rule of the Aurora King, we have glimpses of the past revealed to us and quite a bit of secrets exposed as well, which are always very entertaining. 🤭

There are also many relationships progressing, which is a nice change from the slow burn and tension of the first two books. We get to see a lot more of certain side characters and some background about why they are the way that they are. Overall, I was excited and grateful that I got to learn more about other characters too. 🤗

Things are still confusing to me as more background and characters and objects are revealed, but I’m hoping all will be explained in the final book (Tale of the Heart Queen).❣️

Shoutout to my favorite character at the moment: Gabriel! 😱 I knew you were going to be more complex than you came off as at first, but the more I get to know you, the more I love! 🫶🏼

I’m going to finish off by saying, WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT ENDING!? 😭 I don’t know what to think! I don’t know what to feel!? Was it all a lie??? And now I have to once again wait!? Until November (which, yes, is not that long in the grand scheme of things… but yes it is 😫)!?!?!

Will always recommend this series. Cant wait until November!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 to Fate of the Sun King. ☀️🤴🏻

I should have known that I would need therapy when I finished this book. Nisha knows how to create an exceptional cliffhanger that makes you want to cry and throw your book across the room. I have so many questions and will be impatiently waiting for the final book to get them answered.

This series is everything to me and keeps getting better with each book. The growth that Lor has gone through from the first book to this one has been inspiring. This book really focused on her learned to accept love from others and be more vulnerable. She obviously accepted the love from Nadir, but also from her siblings. She came to terms with the fact that she did not always have to be so self-sacrificing, and that her siblings wanted to protect her as well.

This book was all about searching for the Artefacts, with Lor also learned more about her background. She had a lot to deal with, especially when it came to learning about how her grandmother was not who she thought she was. This made Lor want to be a better person though. We also get a glimpse into what will be probably happening in book 3.

I am happy to announce that the insane slow burn finally paid off. After 3 books we finally got Nadir and Lor to confess their feelings for one another. In fact, they're mates! I love a fated mates trope and this one did not disappoint. That is why I am so shocked about the ending of this book. I firmly believe though that Nadir did not purposely tell his father where Lor was. For one, they're mates so there is no way to fake that love. Second, he hates his father as much as Lor does. I think that Cloris reported their whereabout to the Aurora King when they visited her. I refuse to believe my boy Nadir would do anything to put Lor in danger.

The spice in this book was spicing. The wait was well worth it and I am hoping for more in the next book. It was a perfect amount of spice, and Nadir is now on my list of shadow daddies.

I can confirm that Atlas is still a giant pile of garbage. I did not think he could not get any worse, but I was mistaken. While I hope Gabriel killed him in that final scene, I don't think it will be that simple. Sadly, I think we will be getting more bullsh*t from him in the next book. I just hope that Gabriel gets justice and a happily ever after with Tyr.

So much happened in this book that reminded me why I love this series so much. I have no clue how Nisha will wrap it all up in book 4, especially with the way this one ended. I am so excited and can't wait to see other people's reactions to this newest edition to the series.

Thank you to Nisha J. Tulli and the publisher for an e-ARC of this book via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Lucky enough to grab an eARC of this, cause I don’t know how I could’ve waited any longer for it.

I think this was my favorite of the bunch so far. You got everything you could want in this… friendships developing, banter between characters, heroic rescues, new plot twists that tie in with details way back to book 1, OH AND A CLIFFHANGER THANKS A LOT NISHA

I can’t believe that ENDING. Ugh Nisha how could you do this.

Overall a great read! Very informative on not only the history of Ouranos, but on some of the motives of the other characters. Very well written and Nisha is at the top of her game with this series! Cant wait for November for the last (excuse me while I sob) book of the series!

I loved this book even more than I did the previous books in this series. This book blew me away with the suspense, mystery, action, revenge, betrayal, lies, truth, funny, sweet and steamy scenes. I love the anticipation and the deliverance of it when it came to Lor and Prince Nadir and I couldn't get enough of them. The cliffhanger ending left me wanting to read the next book in the series as this one ends with a cliffhanger. There are definitely characters I love and dislike when it comes to this series, and I can't wait to read how everything turns out for everyone. King Rion and King Atlas are still searching for Lor for very different reasons. Lor finds out the truth about her connection to Nadir while Gabriel is trying to find out why Atlas wants Lor. He is also trying to keep Tyr alive while trying to hide the truth about Lor from Atlas. Apricia is determined to marry Atlas, yet he is doing everything to put it off. We learn more about the actions of Lor's parents and grandmother as we get answers to questions from a blast from the past. While also getting more information from the gods of Ouranos, enemies face off, powers shift, lies are revealed, truth holds power, and while one life is restored another is lost. I can't wait to find out what happens next as this is the best book in this series thus far.

Fate of the Sun King is book 3 in the Artefacts of Ouranos series by Nisha J. Tuli.
I’ve been waiting or book three and it surely did not disappoint!
This book consumed my every waking thought.
This book, one word… incredible!
The world building is phenomenal, the character development is breathtaking.
I love the chemistry and the tension between our main female and male characters.
I’m literally so excited for book 4 Tale of the Heart Queen. Like can I please have it now? 🤗

Thank You NetGalley and Forever for your generosity and gifting me a copy of this amazing eARC!

First of all…WHAT. JUST. HAPPENED.

Second of all, freaking finally Lor and Nadir. 👏🏼 But I am still reeling at that ending and how am I going to wait for the last book!?

But back to an actual review-
I love that there is a character glossary at the start of the book. This is so perfect if it’s been a little bit since you finished book 2 and your mind needs a refresh. Really appreciated this.

I also love all of the various POVs throughout the story. I feel like these characters have become my friends and I’m really rooting for them.

Seeing Lor come into her power has been awesome and it’s setting up for some badass finale moments, but also Tristan!? Let’s go. I need more of him!

Am I low-key terrified for book 4? Yes. But am I also really excited to see how this story concludes? Absofreakinglutely.

Thank you to NetGalley and Forever Publishing for this advanced copy!

This book was full of action! I’m so glad Lor and Nadir finally got it together and dived head first into their relationship, it was spicy and sweet and made the slow burn of book two so worth it!
We also learn so much about Lors grandmother and what really happened that day as well as what Cloris did and what she’s been doing.
There’s also a huge turn of events that involve Gabriel so that will be exciting to see in book 4! I also loved Tristan and Willows portions of the book and how much growth they’ve each had.
This book is full of action, different POVs, new love, even more family, revenge, and more secrets. So many things happen in this book it definitely feels like a stepping stone to a grand finale and I can’t wait to see how all the pieces fit together.
I can’t wait to see how it concludes in November!
Thank you so much Nisha J Tuli & NetGalley for the eArc🖤

This was one of my highly anticipated books of the year. And it did not disappoint. It is the third book in the series and it was so good! The romance was perfect and the book was very well written. I can’t recommend this book enough.

First off… how could you with that ending?!!! But really, this was a great third book in this series. I love that “things” finally happened with our two lovelies and that they finally admitted their feelings!
The new lore added to this story was interesting enough and pertained to the plot enough that I didn’t mind when it switched from the main characters.
Gabriel! My poor dude! I’m glad this book explored more of him.
The pace was good and the character development was excellent for most of the characters. I would have liked to have seen a little more from the side characters, but a lot was going on so I can see where it could detract.
Definitely recommend if you’re willing to accept the terrible, awful, I need to cry into a pillow cliffhanger.

Until the world turns to ash.

This third installment of the Artefacts of Ouranos does not disappoint. I devoured the first two books and this one was no different. We continue to follow Lor and Nadir as they try to restore her power. I enjoyed the multiple perspectives in this book and some surprises we hadn’t seen in previous editions. It was as beautiful as it was heartbreaking. If you want a series that keeps you engaged from start to finish, this is the one. I loved the end and can’t wait for the final installment!

This was one of my most anticipated reads for this year, and I was absolutely not wrong about just knowing it was going to be amazing! The series itself is so good and caught my attention from the very first sentence. This book was no exception. I was hooked from the beginning. The characters are perfect. The banter and sass are top tier. I can’t even begin with how many quotes I had to save to go back to again. Nishas writing is beautiful and very entertaining. The story moves at the perfect pace. I will be recommending this series to anyone who will listen! It’s absolutely in my top favorites of all time. Nadir is the perfect book boyfriend and Lor is the perfect strong, resilient, and powerful female we all love to read about! I can’t wait for book 4!!!

This is book 3 of four?? in the series. Definitely book 3, and pretty sure there is only going to be one more book, but who knows, authors change their mind all the time.

The first two books were so much fun and I couldn't wait to get my hands on this one! It did not disappoint and this should definitely not be read as a standalone as you will be confused, and just won't get the full pofcture. We get an additional POV that we didn't get in the other 2 books which really added to my enjoyment of this book. We also get more character development across all characters (not just the main ones) and I am super interested to see how their stories play out in the final? installment of the series.

This does end off on a pretty big cliff hanger which is UGH for me who needs to know what happens next, but also I get it. I keep telling myself I won't read incomplete series, and then I keep doing exactly that. Oh well, maybe next time.

Thank you Nisha J. Tuli and Netgalley for the arc in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Okay, first thought: FINALLY!! We got the spice of the slowest of slow burns to ever burn. Lor and Nadir are perfection and I love them together. Both Lor and Nadir have so much depth to their characters and it's always fun to see them clash.
This was one of my favorite series' last year and I am so happy to have gotten a copy of this book early. Atlas continued to be a colossal villain and was thrilled that the first chapter was from Gabriel's POV. We finally got to learn more about who he is and see his character development. I also loved reading more about Atlas from Gabriel's perspective and his true thoughts about everything that's happened, thus far.
Nadir does fall HARD for Lor and his growth away from his father is amazing to read. He becomes an even better person being away from the expectations.
If anyone needs me, I'll be crying over the cliffhanger and (impatiently) waiting for the fourth book.

This book was slow to start, didn’t capture me like the first 2. Then everything started to change. Loved the fast paced adventure!

I loved the first two books in this series, and in the the third book, this story just keeps getting better! The new POV and additional history adds so many more layers to the story. I loved getting to see more of the character's interact and have their storylines merge in this book. I could not put this book down and was left gasping on the final page. I cannot wait for the final book! My only complaint is being left on such a large cliffhanger waiting for the next book : )
