My rating: 4.5 ⭐
This is book 3 in the series 'Artefacts of Ouranos', where Lor is navigating her family history to try and unlock her inner magic and be able to face her enemies before they hunt her down. It's told alternating between the past -origins of Ouranos- and the present, and in multiple POVs. I like this very much as it gives us different perspectives of everything that's happening and slowly leads us to put the pieces of the puzzle together. I enjoyed the scenes from the past very much, as well as the ones from the present, and found myself wanting more at the end of every chapter. I also liked the characters' glossary at the beginning of the book to remind us of each of them and their role in the series -it was a magnificent detail-.
I loved the revelations of the political affairs tying the strings behind it all.
As well as I relished -and squeaked- watching Lor and Nadir give into their love and transition from enemies to lovers. The level of devotion of that man!
Fave quote:
“The blood of your enemies, Lor. Ask me, and I’ll slay anyone for you. Burn the world to ash if you desire.”, Nadir
Also, watching how the secondary characters added to the plot, how their lives intertwined, and how many of them became found family was a high point of the book.
I also think Gabriel's POV added a much-needed morally grey side to the story and I suffered alongside him knowing his truth.
Regarding the author's writing, many parts of it were poetical and beautifully descriptive, whereas others felt more contemporary and sort of a big contrast -I preferred the first style better-. And there were a few times where I found myself thinking that some things could have been left for the reader to imagine instead of being explained to us, as of my liking, of course. I did flow through the book, it hooked me completely; the more I read the harder was to put the book down.
Finally, let's address the elephant in the room: THAT EFFING ENDING! How dared you, Nisha? I couldn't form straight thoughts afterward and can't wait for the next installment. I'm highly in love with this story!

Mi calificación: 4.5 ⭐
Este es el libro 3 de la serie 'Artefactos de Ouranos', donde Lor está navegando la historia de su familia para intentar desbloquear su magia interior y poder enfrentar a sus enemigos antes de que la cacen. La historia se cuenta alternando entre el pasado -los orígenes de Ouranos- y el presente, y en múltiples puntos de vista. Me gusta mucho esto ya que nos da diferentes perspectivas de todo lo que está sucediendo y lentamente nos lleva a armar las piezas del rompecabezas. Disfruté mucho de las escenas del pasado, así como de las del presente, y me encontré queriendo más al final de cada capítulo. También me gustó el glosario de personajes al principio del libro para recordarnos a cada uno de ellos y su papel en la serie -fue un detalle magnífico-.
Me encantaron las revelaciones de los asuntos políticos que atan los hilos detrás de todo.
Y también disfruté -y fangirleé- viendo a Lor y Nadir ceder a su amor y pasar de ser enemigos a amantes. ¡El nivel de devoción de ese hombre!
Cita favorita:
“La sangre de tus enemigos, Lor. Pídemelo, y mataré a cualquiera por ti. Quemaré el mundo hasta las cenizas si lo deseas.”, Nadir
Además, ver cómo los personajes secundarios aportaban a la trama, cómo sus vidas se entrelazaban y cómo muchos de ellos se convertían en una familia encontrada fue un punto alto del libro.
También creo que el punto de vista de Gabriel agregó un lado moralmente gris muy necesario a la historia y sufrí junto a él conociendo su verdad.
Con respecto a la escritura de la autora, muchas partes eran poéticas y bellamente descriptivas, mientras que otras se sentían más contemporáneas y como un gran contraste -preferí el primer estilo-. Y hubo algunas veces en las que me encontré pensando que algunas cosas podrían haberse dejado a la imaginación del lector en lugar de explicárnoslas, según mi gusto, por supuesto. Volé a través del libro, me enganchó por completo; cuanto más leía, más difícil era dejarlo.
Finalmente, hablemos del elefante en la habitación: ¡ESE MALDITO FINAL! ¿Cómo te atreviste, Nisha? No pude formar pensamientos coherentes después y no puedo esperar al próximo libro. ¡Estoy profundamente enamorada de esta historia!

I took a while to finish this because I didn't want it to end. I have enjoyed the series very much up to this point. The writing was much like the previous books, however the plot of the series didn't seem to advance very much. I am happy the characters finally got together but the union didn't give the same energy as the previous books. This ended on a huge cliffhanger but I didn't feel like it was as dire as the author would have you believe. Excited for the next book.

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
I started reading this the moment I downloaded it, but I'm behind on my reviews Such is life with toddlers. But don't let my tardiness fool you, I DEVOURED this book.
I'll stay away from spoilers because this book has only been out for one month, but I will say that the cliffhanger has me in absolute shambles. Thankfully, I only have to wait until November for the final book in the series. 🫶
If you haven't given the Trial of the Sun Queen (book 1) a read, what are you waiting for?!? It's the perfect blend of ACOTAR and Fourth Wing. The Artefacts of Ouranos is one of my favorite series. You should read it.

I was so lucky, I received and ARC for the third tome of this amazing serie.
Even if I waited a long time for this one hahaha as soon as I started it, I got right into it. We find again all our amazing characters: Willow, Gabriel, Nadir, L
or, Atlas (just kidding for this one), Tristan. The amount of time, I wanted to hit his head in a wall, dannnnm he pissed me off.
Lor is stronger than ever, but we also have access to this more vulnerable side that I loved. That showed us even when you show that side you still strong and Nadir definitely helped her with that.
While we at it NADIR dannnnm that man, he is fearless, cute, hooooooot, sexy, sensual, adorable okay i'll top HAHAHAHAH. But seriously no matter what territorial bullshit (Lor knows what I mean HAHAHAHAH) he always stood besides her and let her make her own decisions.
Gabriel grew a lot also in this tome. I mean so many of them I could describe here, Willow, Tristan my little grumpy. I loved them all.
In this tome a lot of questions was answered but i'm left with so many more.
Let me just say, I was on my way to school when I finished the book, OHHHH MY that cliffhanger, I gasped in the bus and people was giving me side eye HAHAHAHHA. Don'y finish this book in a public place (moral of the story)

First of all, thank you for the ARC!!!
Second, HOW DARE YOU WITH THAT ENDING?! This book was fantastic and I’m so excited to read the 4th book when it comes out! This is such a great series and I’m begging you Nisha not to break our hearts with the last book😩
![](https://netgalley-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/a15cb8542c/images/profile-micro.png)
I love this book! The whole series! This book will have you crying happy and sad tears. Then leave you wanting more. I can not wait for the next book to come out. Honestly anything by Nisha J. Tuli is amazing, you can never go wrong picking one of her books.
![](https://netgalley-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/a15cb8542c/images/profile-placeholder-micro.png)
I really enjoyed the book! This was a fantastic continuation of the series. There are some plot twists, scenes from Gabriel's POV, and more detail on the past. 5 stars all around! Apologies for the review being late, this was my first NetGalley and I didn't realize there was a review option. My goodreads review was submitted in May.

This book was outstanding and I was so excited to pick up where we left off with Lor's journey to become the Heart Queen. The plot twists and action were super engaging and I couldn't put the book down! The flashbacks throughout the story are perfectly placed and help build up the suspense of the story. I love watching Lor and Nadirs relationship grow as Nadir tries to help her unlock her magic. The cliffhanger ending to this book had me sobbing and wanting the next book ASAP!
![](https://netgalley-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/a15cb8542c/images/profile-micro.png)
Fate of the Sun King was an amazing read! Finally got many answers but also have so many more questions now on how the Ouranos universe works! I loved seeing the growth of Nadir and Lor, along with her siblings and getting to see them immerse themselves with the crew from the Aurora. I can’t wait to keep reading this series to see how it ends.
![](https://netgalley-profiles.s3.amazonaws.com/avatar1361890-micro.png?1725754677)
I took my time reading this book because it was sooo good and I didn’t want it to end. But I got to the end and WTF?!!! I can’t believe it ends the way it did. Now we have to wait months before getting the next book. I’m off to go just be in silence for a while so I can process what I just read.
![](https://netgalley-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/a15cb8542c/images/profile-micro.png)
The rage I feel with the way this book ending and knowing I have to WAIT FOR THE LAST BOOK has me tearing my physical hair out. Everyone raise their hand after finishing the book and constantly your significant has become a victim of your rage ✋✋
I loved this book so much I feel like everything that happened was just great the revenge the betrayal the twists and the turns and the background story to everything that happened is crazy!!
Thank you for the arc opportunity! Nisha does it again!
![](https://netgalley-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/a15cb8542c/images/profile-micro.png)
Once again, I love this series! Thank you for the ARC copy of this book through NetGalley! The banter between Lor and Nadir. I love all the reveals and having Gabriel’s POV was a nice surprise. I cannot wait to read the final installment of this series!
![](https://netgalley-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/a15cb8542c/images/profile-micro.png)
This book was SO worth the wait!! It picks up right where Aurora King left off with a POV we haven't seen yet, but that was really captivating. If I wasn't already invested in this series, chapter one would have me hooked. The pacing is on point; it doesn't feel like it's dragging at all. Prepare yourself for that ending though!!
![](https://netgalley-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/a15cb8542c/images/profile-micro.png)
WOW. Fate of the Sun King DELIVERED. It was everything I wanted it to be. Nisha J. Tuli has become one of my favorite fantasy authors - she creates such magical worlds!
I love, love, love Lor & Nadir. I can’t get enough! It was so fun to learn more about them & watch them grow throughout this book.
That ending (read: devastating cliffhanger) absolutely WRECKED me. I don’t know if words are enough to describe the heartbreak. My jaw is still on the floor. I can do nothing but suffer through the pain while waiting for book 4.
![](https://netgalley-profiles.s3.amazonaws.com/avatar1102000-micro.png?1725754677)
Amazing new entry in the series! So much love given to the side characters, which made the book feel really fully rounded and provided a lot of context and support for the main story. And the slow burn finally igniting was just PERFECTION! Absolutely cannot wait for the final book!!
![](https://netgalley-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/a15cb8542c/images/profile-micro.png)
I received an ARC of this book for an honest review.
First of all, Nisha that was mean. We are fighting now.
I love Lor. I’m obsessed with her. Lor is such a bad ass woman who knows what she wants and goes for it. She stands up for what she believes in and doesn’t let people off the hook. “Oh, I’m in love with you? I don’t care, why are their slaves in your mines?”. She is awesome. Keep holding men accountable Lor!!
Nadir. Oh sweet, broody, black clothes loving Nadir. I like that Nadir has a personality and has kept his personality through the series. It’s very easy for the MMC of a store to take the back seat with an amazing FMC. But Nadir is his own character while still supporting everything Lor does. He will have her the match to watch the world burn. But he is going to cause chaos of his own along the way. I love that for him.
We got a lot of answers in this book. There is a good amount of questions answered, and new question risen to justify a 4th book. When can we get the final chapter? Now please? PLEASE NISHA??
There was a lot of action in this books combined with calmer parts and world building parts. It was a good mix pacing wise. Sometimes it felt a bit slower, but it wasn’t bad at all.
Ok. Let’s talk cliffhangers. On a scale of “They all lived happily ever after” to “Where is my wife!?” This is pretty much at Rowan in the beach level. Not QUITE there, but almost. So, beware. Unless you also want to be in a fight with Nisha like I am. Is any one of my friends in a good position right now?? No. Everyone is in trouble.
Definitely read this series. It’s a spectacular adult romantasy book. We’ve got plot, we’ve got spice, we’ve got morally grey characters, and we’ve got straight up junk punch worthy characters. You want it? Ouranos has it. Enjoy your reading!

Ahhh Nisha did it again! This book was absolutely amazing. I loved all the tension and chemistry between Nadir and Lor. I’m so excited to read the conclusion and see how this all wraps up! Highly recommend this book!
![](https://netgalley-profiles.s3.amazonaws.com/avatar1303709-micro.png?1725754677)
I don't know how to explain how much I enjoyed this book. As usual, Nisha J. Tuli did a phenomenal job with character development, world building, and plot progression. Without giving away spoilers, I just want to say that I was thrilled that a certain couple were finally able to figure out how to be together. The bond between these two is amazing and Nisha does a beautiful job with the slow burn trope. Honestly, I feel like maybe she invested the trope!
I absolutely loved the multiple POV's in this book. It was so great to see Gabriel and to finally understand how his loyalty to the crown worked. I loved that the reader was able to see how Atlas became King and why he was so determined to have Lor win the trials in book 1.
All in all, I give this book a solid 5/5. Nisha always knows how to keep the reader hooked and pining for her next book!

Welcome back to Ouranos, where the plot thickens and you don’t know nearly as much as you THOUGHT you did. Nisha somehow makes installment three of this series just as intense and riveting as the first two.
We don’t waste much time with pleasantries before we delve right back into Lor’s plight to save her kingdom and finally claim her revenge. But as she uncovers more about her Grandmother, things get murky as Lor struggles with guilt.
But she has Nadir. She doesn’t love him, but she can rely on him as a steady presence in her life, her rock. But she definitely doesn’t want him. Right?
Atlas panics as his bonding with Apracia looms over him, and the golden sun king is tarnished by a century of deceit. All while Rion is hot on their heels.
Lor and Nadir and making strides towards their goals…but they ran out of time….
