The Epic Final to the Artefacts of Ouranos series. I will say throughout the series the only point of view I could care less about is the Aurora King. Given that, everybody else I loved, and the way we finished out this story, with nods to the first book was so bittersweet to see. Lor and Nadir have such a beautiful relationship throughout the series as a whole but really shines in this book. This series as a whole has been one of my favorites to read for the past couple of years. I'm sad to see it end but excited to see what the author has in store next. Thank you Forever and NetGalley for an arc of this book for an honest review.

Now THAT is how you end a series!!! Take of the Heart Queen was everything I wanted and SO much more. With a list of odds stacked against her, Lor proves why she was chosen for this. The character growth of Nadir throughout the series also comes together in the best way. I’m honestly sad to leave the world of Ouranos and the the characters I’ve come to love.

Nisha’s writing has become one of my favorites and I’m going to recommend Tale of The Heart Queen as a must read. After you read the other 3 first of course.

Five stars!!

While I had a really good time with this one (and absolutely cried at the ending), it almost felt like there was *too much* going on. It was as if plot lines were just kind of tossed in and because there were so many that needed to be wrapped up, some of them were resolved in an unsatisfying way. That being said, I love the story and the characters so much so definitely still recommend this one!

Solid ending to what was a solid trilogy. I enjoy Tuli's writing quite a bit and I'm excited to see what they write next.

This is how you conclude a series. There’s not much I can say about this book without spoilers, since it is the 4th book in a series, but I can tell you now, you won’t be disappointed!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

This book gave us a great adventure and a satisfying ending. It feels like there’s so much more we could explore in this world, but I’m very happy with where all of our main characters stories ended. Books 1-3 are available now, and Tale of the Heart Queen will be out on November 26 - so it’s the perfect time to start binging this series!

The perfect ending to an incredible series—I couldn’t wait to dive into this book! It has everything: spice, romance, intense games and trials, all wrapped up in a wonderful conclusion. Nisha Tuli’s writing is so easy to follow, making it a joy to read. If you’re a fan of romantasy, this series is a must-read!

This series has meant so much to me. Words can’t even describe how much I love these characters and this world. I’m so sad to see it come to an end, yet I don’t think Nisha could have written a more beautiful ending.

One of the things I’ve loved the most about this series is the love that Lor and her siblings have for each other. Their love is so deep and unconditional, and I love all three of them so much. Their family has been through some of the worst times, yet their love for each other continues despite all of that.

And can we get a moment of appreciation for Gabriel? He’s been one of my absolute favorite side characters throughout the series.

This final book had some darker moments in it. There was so much to wrap up, but Nisha wrote everything so well. I loved that she wrote a full circle moment with the trials. The parallels between Trial of the Sun Queen and Tale of the Heart Queen created the perfect end to the series.

The ending had me in tears. I love these characters so much. How does one say goodbye to one of their favorite series? Thank you, thank you Nisha for creating these magical books.

Nisha always does a beautiful job of weaving storylines between characters in the present to those in the past, and this was no exception. I was wrecked in the beginning, felt murderous rage in the middle, had panic attacks toward the end, and am at peace now that it’s over. What a great ending to a beloved series! ❤️👑

What to expect:
✅ book 4 in a completed Romantasy series
✅ multi 1st person POV
✅ who did that to you/burn the world for you
✅ fated mates
✅ webs of connections between magical artefacts from each kingdom, the rulers, gods, and more

Thank you so much to the author and NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I have followed Nisha's journey through this series and loved every single minute of it.
Lor and Nadir are such a great pair to follow, and the series has taken you through several character developments along the way.
This final book in the series had so many things I enjoyed; however I did notice how long it felt in comparison to the others which felt like I just devoured. There was a smidge more fluff for me in this one, so it made it a little harder to stay interested during portions, but I loved how everything was tied up in the end, even if perfectly convenient for all parties.

Can't wait to read more from Nisha!

Tale of the Heart Queen by Nisha J Tuli
5 ⭐️
🌶️☑️

Tale is, hands down, one of the best conclusions to a series I’ve ever read. Even with all the different plot lines and characters, I was so overwhelmingly satisfied with how everything wrapped up.

The character development and progression of different relationships over the course of this series has been masterful, and Tale highlighted this beautifully. The fact that I even *considered* having empathy for Rion is proof enough of this. Ugh.

Lor has grown so much and you really get to see her step into herself, her role, her powers, and her relationship with Nadir. 🥹 I feel like I’ve been cheering for Lor and Nadir forever and it was lovely to see the tenderness and love they have for each other, even as they faced impossible odds.

While Lor and Nadir have my heart, I was SO drawn into Gabriel and Tyr’s stories with this installment. Sometimes with multiple POVs I find myself wanting to get back to the “main” storyline, but that wasn’t the case at all here. Their stories plucked my heartstrings and had me crying more than once. 🥺

I could talk forever about all the different moments in this book that were SO good and felt like perfect payoff for everything we’ve been through with these characters, from Trials of the Sun Queen to now. The found family that was built over the course of this series is one of my favorites and I’m so sad to say goodbye to these characters now.

Tale of the Heart Queen is romantic fantasy at its absolute best! 10/10 recommend. 🖤

WOW. What a gut punch. A tour de force. Nisha J. Tuli has woven this final tale expertly. I love how much the world has expanded from the original book 1 bachelor hunger games. It’s like a totally different series now.

The writing has gotten better in each book. My heart was pounding from page one and there was nonstop adventure the whole book. Expect lots of action and some swoon-worthy moments too. I absolutely loved the final twist.

I highly recommend this series to fantasy romance lovers. Even if you thought book 1 wasn’t the most original… keep reading. It goes in a much different direction from what you expect.

I’m so grateful to Forever for the advance copy. Now on to book 3 of this author’s other series!

What an epic ending to a series that we have all been eagerly waiting for! I was ready for the ending, but I wasn't. This story took us on a journey that had us in all the feels. Definitely an amazing series and can't wait to see what she writes next.

I loved how this book wrapped it. She gave us closure on everyone, including the side characters. I really loved that because most authors ignore side characters and I’m always trying to figure out what happened to them.

I loved the FMC growth and how she did fight for everyone she loved and everything she wanted and she didn’t care. She didn’t back down from wanting what she wants and how she got it. But she was willing to sacrifice herself for the better of the world if it came to it but not wanting to.

My fave character is Gabriel. He had a lot of growth and scenes that made me want more. I’m glad he got almost what he wanted but he’s content now.


This has always been my fave series!

5 stars is not enough. 10 wouldn't be enough! I am quite sad that Lor and Nadir's story is over, but what a way to end the series! I love Nisha's writing and look forward to more from her in the future.

This was the perfect book to wrap up one of my favorite series ever! Nisha’s writing is what made me fall in love with the series to begin with and this book is no exception. I love how both our FMC and MMC can stand on their own, but they are truly better together. I couldn’t have asked for a better ending to the series! Now I just need some novellas about our favorite side characters. Thank you to NetGalley and Forever publishing for the ARC copy of this book.

How have we already reached the end? From our humble soap beginnings to reaching the final pages, I must say that this is one of my FAVORITE series. Lor from day 1 has been sassy and strong but being able to see her vulnerable sides-especially in this book-has been such a treat. She is a character with layers, and I've loved getting to see the different sides of Lor. AND NADIR. Ugh, he has a chokehold on my heart that will never waiver. This dynamic duo with their flirty banter never gets old. The multiple POVs wove in several different storylines beautifully while keeping the pace moving in a longer book. The ending of this series is simply perfection. I am sad that the series is over but cannot wait for my first reread of the entire series when I get a physical copy to put on my shelf!

The finale we all wanted! Tale of the Heart Queen kept me on the edge of my seat, wanting more and more. This entire series has been captivating, with one book after the other exceeding all expectations. If you are new to Nisha J. Tuli or are unsure of whether you should read this series, let me just tell you....it's one of the best romantasy books you'll ever read.

This is the perfect conclusion to the story. I laughed, I cried, I had all of the emotions I wanted. My only problem is that now I want a story for the siblings and Gabriel lol. I really feel like all of my questions from through out the series was answered, which I really appreciated. You could also really see the three siblings break through their shells and their personalities really came out.

First of all, I am absolutely devastated this series is over. Tale of the Heart Queen by Nisha J. Tuli was a good end to the series. This review has been posted to Amazon and Good Reads. I would love for the author to continue writing a spin off with the siblings perhaps because all of the characters through out the series were so wonderful.

The ending of the book felt a little rushed and I wished it would have been more detailed about what happens after the HEA. I loved how at the end it felt like it came back around from the very first book and her siblings finally show more of their sense of humor. Great book, just wished there were a few more chapters at the end detailing what came after.

This book series - it took over my personality, I was telling everyone I knew about it and got two friends to read it so it worked haha. From start to finish of Tale, it had a hold on me. I read it slowly so I could savor it because I didn’t want it to end, but once I read the last page and it ended, I felt so complete. It was a wonderful end to the series, it answered everything we had questioned at the end of Fate of the Sun King, and it made me question the almost redeeming chapters of Rion, but he can still go suck a troll’s toe for all he did. I loved the ride this book took us on. I cheered, I cried, I laughed. I fell in love with the “one last time before we go into battle” trope because of how well she did it. Lor and Nadir will have such a spot in my heart now that I will be revisiting often. And like Lor, I too am a ball of chaos and wouldn’t have it any other way.

Thank you Nisha and team for the arc, and thank you Nisha for the world and characters.
