All of the books need to be read in order as each picks up right as the last book picks up as it’s Lor and her friends and families epic story.
There was a lot that happened in this book which made it long but definitely a satisfying ending wrapping up all the threads and stories of the people and gods in the different kingdoms that she met along the way. The book definitely ramped up as it went along so it was slower at the beginning and unputdownable at the end with a lot of twists and turns and left me rooting for Lor and Nadir. If you like a strong heroine who has to defeat all odds while delivering an epic journey to save her kingdom and her friends, family and mate then this is the series for you.

This was a phenomenal fourth entry to the series. Lor was on the run and trying to figure out where she fits in the world. I loved this book and I cannot wait to read more by Nisha! I read this in a day. I loved the high fantasy world and found family!

Amazing ending to this series. I was shattered at the end of book 3, so I was eager to jump right into this one. Absolutely love how everything plays out in the end.

I absolutely loved the conclusion to this trilogy. It's a great romantasy series and different from other ones I have read. Highly recommend.

I need to preface this with the fact that I think I would have rated this 5 starts if I had re read the series before reading this and hadn’t just finished a re read of fourth wing and iron flame

This book was really really emotional and I think it felt like a different final book than most series I read. It wasn’t all war and fighting and so much intense things happening. I think I liked that change of pace but this book really wasn’t what I was expecting, especially with how the last book ended. There were lots of plot points I thought would go a different way so I was surprised with the first bit of this book

I still really love the characters, however I don’t like the female narrator, she make the FMC sound really bratty and I don’t like that but because I read the first two books physically I just try to keep to how I’ve pictured her for half the series. But I really loved the character arcs in this series, this book tied up a lot of ends and some of them I was not expecting which I really loved. We do meet and get to know some new characters in this book which was great BUT there are a lot of characters and if I had re read the series I probably would have remembered some of them better

The romance is still just so delightful and I loved the way the two main characters interacted in this book. Some of the things truly were beautiful in the way the happened and I’m so happy with how their romance was at the end of this book. It gets a four on the spice scale

Overall this series is definitely in my top 10, I’m so in love with in and I definitely plan to re read it again some day

This series is definitely new adult, it has a lot of sexual content, swearing, violence and concepts that are more mature

This is one of my new favorite series! I loved seeing more of the found family bonds in this book. I of course love Lor and Nadir, and their relationship, but also all of the side characters and all of their interactions with each other. That is one of the things this series does so well! However, as much as I love the series, this last book just felt a little too long. I also felt like some of the conflicts that had spanned the first three books were wrapped up a little too easily. I liked the higher stakes of the first three books and it almost felt a little lacking in this one. Even with those things, I did still enjoy the book! Lor is such a strong character and you continue to see that in this book, and I love that Nadir gives her the space she needs for that. I’m so sad that this series is over and I can’t wait to see what else the author has in store!

This was a perfect way to end the series. I love the growth of the characters and the pacing of the story. Also there was so much intrigue in this book that it had me flying through, I could not put it down!

What a thrilling conclusion to a phenomenal series! I really loved how everything came together in this final book to conclude the series. There were so many throwbacks to elements from earlier in the series that made me so happy. This conclusion was so well done with the perfect blend of excitement and intrigue, while also wrapping up a lot of different storylines and side character’s stories as well.

There was still a bit of politics between the gods and rulers of Ouranos that had to be ironed out in this book, and it was done in a way that was perfectly timed and not drawn out. All of the elements of the politics and fighting made sense, which I sometimes feel isn’t true in some of these mid-length series with more than 3 books. I really appreciated all the Nisha put into the politics and fighting and am so sad that the series is over.

I will forever root for Lor and Nadir and they truly are such a power couple. I LOVE how he is there to support his partner and gives her all the credit and hype that she deserves. They truly show how they work TOGETHER to battle the odds and I loved that they are both so strong. And as always, the fire between them was perfection.

I also ADORED getting Gabriel’s POV so much in the book. He is one of my favorite side characters, so having a larger role in this one was so so good. His relationship with Tyr is truly heartbreaking and I thought the conclusion of everything was done perfectly (I even shed some tears). Truly, all the side characters in this book could have their own books, they are so well developed!

I have loved every minute of this series and am so sad that it’s over!

Thank you NetGalley for the copy of this book!

4.5/5 stars

This last installment of The Artefacts of Ouranos series was everything I could ask for and more! After the diabolical ending of the last book, Nisha gives you no time before jumping straight back into the events and going at 100mph. So much is happening in this book from start to finish and I absolutely adored that. You don't get a moment of rest and it's perfectly paced.

I love Lor and Nadir so much and seeing them finally come together in this book as a powerhouse unit made me feel so much joy. I love them and their family. I was emotional about their journey. I was emotional about all the familial and friendship bonds. I was even emotional about some of the villains. Nisha really made me go through it with this one.

Tale of the Heart Queen was the perfect finale for the series. So many mysteries and plot points are wrapped up perfectly. There plot points that were expanded even further than I expected but did the story a huge favour by making it even more exciting and high stakes. This book was simultaneously a comfort read and had me on the edge of my seat the whole time.

I'm sad to see this series end but so glad I was part of the journey.

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

This series!!!!! I am so sad to see this world come to an end. I want more of this world and these characters! This book was the final and it did not disappoint! All the pieces fall into place and your questions are answered. Lot and Nadir will forever be one of my favorite book couples and I wish I didn't have to say goodbye to them. And it's not just them. I want more of all the characters that surround them. The journey to get here was full of adventure, suspense, heartbreak and all the feels. I have cried so many years over this series. If you haven't read it, drop what you are doing and do it now!!!!!

The fourth book in the series did not disappoint! I fell in love with the charectors because the author truly knows how to build your attachment to them. It wasn’t even just the main charectors that I felt so many emotions over, but the side ones too. I loved seeing how Nadir and Lor fell for each other and seeing them grow together. So many good aspects made this series amazing, for example found family, finding yourself and who you’re meant to be, and overcoming your past.

Read if you love:
-morally grey MMC
-strong FMC
-fated mates
-enemies to lovers

In this highly anticipated series finale, Lor wakes from a nightmare only to discover it’s real.

While I was eager to return to the Artefacts of Ouranos series after the major cliffhanger in Book 3, the final installment left me feeling lukewarm. Although the conclusion was satisfying, the journey to get there felt overly long. The book could have benefited from tighter editing, as many scenes relied on info-dumping and plot twists that lacked depth—often explained away by a new character conveniently revealing critical details. Additionally, moments of spice frequently overshadowed the plot.

That said, I’m still grateful to have discovered this series and would recommend it to fans of spicy fantasy books. Thank you Forever for providing this book for review consideration via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.

This series has been quite a journey! Lor has grown incredible amounts since book one, in all aspects of her life. She had to navigate many obstacles to get her HEA, but I'm so happy she did. I adore Lor and Nadir!

It's been an emotional ride, and I'm a little sad it's over. I've been invested in these characters - their magic, the drama, their world - and I like the way it all came together in the end. This final installment tied the series up nicely!

Thank you so much, @netgalley, @nishajtwrites & team, and Forever (Grand Central Publishing), for the eARC copy of Tale of the Heart Queen.

TOTHQ is the last book in the Artefacts of Ouranos series, and this series has such a hold on my heart. I don't think I have ever sobbed as much as I have with this series. I can honestly say that this series has become one of my all-time favorites, and I will be buying shelf trophies of all four books.

I cannot even begin to explain all the emotions I had while reading TOTHQ. The amount of growth and healing with a lot of the characters was phenomenal. There was so much going on, but it never felt overwhelming. Lor and Nadir will forever be in my top 10 favorite book couples.

Between the trials, the incredibly difficult choices, the deceit, the battles, and the undying love between these characters. This book.. This series is perfect.

This was the perfect ending to AOO. If you have not read this series. Please do.

The gift to Lor from Tristan and Willow was so perfect. I snort laughed.

I am so sad that this series has come to an end, but I am so grateful to have experienced it.

Rating: 4.25

My Review- I am so sad to see this wonderful story come to end and still want more of this world. It follows right after the last book and you see Lor go through even more crazy things to become the Heart Queen, we learn more about other people's plans and see how everything comes together at the end. I do wish some of the side characters' side stories weren’t so long I felt they could have warp up in a few pages , now I do with Lor could’ve talk to her grandmother like she talk to other people in this book I so wanna to see that conversation. The ending was great and I am sad and want more of them.

Wonderful conclusion to the series! I am so sad that this is now over 😭 Absolutely loved to see all the character growth within the last four books and will say that this was a very satisfying ending! There were a few parts that felt somewhat rushed to me and would have loved to see more! Overall so happy for being introduced to these characters and loved the wild ride since Trial of the Sun Queen!

What a wonderful ending to such a fun series! The character development book over book was just perfect. I loved seeing Lor really mature and step into her role. There are so many other great characters who really shone with their actions but I don’t want to give any spoilers. Overall I couldn’t say enough amazing things about this book and series!

Just when you think Lor has been through enough…. there’s more. It all culminates to an epic HEA conclusion for this amazing series! Thanks for the amazing roller coaster ride Nisha J. Tuli! I can’t wait to read more from you.

What an ending to this amazing journey. Experiencing all the characters as they grew, following the storyline that was action packed and incredibly engaging; such a wild ride, culminating in a truly memorable experience. I am heartbroken that this series has come to an end, I will be reminiscing about this for a very long time. Another great series I wish I could read again for the first time, but will have to settle for rereading in the future.

This book was a great ending to the series. I was on the edge of me seat multiple times and did yell out loud multiple times when reading this one lol. A couple of times I was not sure where or how we were going to end the book, but I do think it ended as it should have. I am sad this series is over but will be a series I will always remember
