This was a HIGHLY anticipated book for me and it did not disappoint. I just love the multi-faceted characters and engaging story Nisha created.

I really felt like at every turn she kept the pace of the story going (which is also why it kept me up late to keep reading) especially at the end.

Nadir was SO sweet in this books Dj every moment between him and Lor has my heart squeezing.

I always love the new POV we get in the book that unravels some of the past and in this book it was Rion which I feel like added more depth to his character

Overall I love this romantasy series with my whole heart and will be recommending it to everyone

Tale of the Heart Queen is book 4 in the Artefacts of Ouranos series by Nisha J. Tuli.
I absolutely love this series and this book.
If you love romance laced with fantasy and a strong heroine…. This book is for you.

I was so thankful for the opportunity to read the final installment of this series. Of course I adored the found family aspect and the rich world-building surrounding Ouranos. I was glad to see things wrap up nicely in a 'happily ever after' (if not a 'happily for now') sort of ending. Unfortunately I wasn't as blown away by this book as I was expecting from my experience with the previous three books. My main issue is that I didn't connect as much with the characters. After the last book, I was really looking forward to seeing more of the dynamics and getting deeper into backstory, but everyone (with the exception of the Aphelion crew) fell super flat. I wasn't as invested in this one and it took me a long while to get through. There was quite a bit going on (almost nonstop) to the point that I barely had a chance to wrap my head around the current predicament before the answers to the problems came too easily and the characters were thrown into something else. I was really hoping the series would end on a strong note, but this was only a middle-of-the-road read for me.

A great ending to a series I found last year, I instantly became obsessed with this series and her other one, reading the available books all in December and then reading each release as it came out! This series is so complex, so beautiful, the visuals are so clear and it’s so easy to see all the characters in each scene. I love the ensemble POV the focus on Lor and Nadir is what makes this series so good! Their romance only adds to the series but could easily be removed in the sense that this is a fantasy series first and foremost. It’s everything you could wish to find in a fantasy series with fae, humans, royalty, and wars. It’s trust, betrayal, love, found family, friends and enemies all mixed together working together for a common goal.

Lor is a spectacular female lead, I don’t want to say much to avoid spoilers, but Lor is made to be who she becomes for her family and her ancestors. She is someone everyone can strive to look up to as she’ll make the necessary sacrifices to save the greater good over her personal wishes. Man I could say so much, but having to avoid spoilers means I’ll have to stop here.

I can’t wait to see what Nisha J. Tuli brings next in both fantasy and romance!

Tale of the Heart Queen is a beautiful story of the power of love and sacrifice. Love has the ability to save or destroy- the question is simply a matter of which one will prevail?

Lor and Nadir have constantly been at war since the moment they met. With themselves, with each other, and finally with those who sought to destroy the very love and trust they built. Watching them fight the many odds stacked against them was something I enjoyed witnessing from the very first book. They both experienced such exponential growth throughout the series and one thing is for certain - their love is inescapable and inevitable.

The found family aspect that Tuli writes so well continues to shine in this one and the multiple POV gave much needed insight into each character, both good and villainous! The twists and turns were ever present and I think everyone got the ending they deserved!

Tale of the Heart Queen was a beautiful ending to a series that captured my heart from the first line to the last, and is definitely one all romantasy fans need to experience!

In this final installment, Lor is confronted with an impossible task to save all that she holds dear. Will she succeed and earn the freedom she’s fought so hard for?

Throughout the series, Lor continues to grow in her abilities while slowly accepting her fate. She remains resilient and determined in the face of dire circumstances and her heartbreaking and traumatic past.

Lor and Nadir’s unwavering devotion and unfaltering love is the stuff that ballads are written about. With their love rises the power that changes everything and they deserve the happiest of endings after all they have endured 🥹

Richly imaginative and deeply transportive, Tale of the Heart Queen is an absolute must-read for all Romantasy lovers! Nisha expertly balances elements of humor, heart, and heat in this story. The Artefacts of Ouranos series has unequivocally captured my heart and will never let go.

Thank you Nisha, Forever, and NetGalley for this advanced copy! This is my honest and voluntary review.

Lor and Nadir’s journey comes to an end with this final book. This picked up right where we left off with the rudest cliffhanger ever! The whole time I was rooting for the both of them to find a happy ending, but they kept running into problems which had me stressed out for most of the book. But at least that kept things interesting?! I felt the story wrapped up in a satisfying way and didn’t leave you with unanswered questions.

While I loved Lor and Nadir, there were truly so many other characters that were equally complex and appreciated any time they were on the page as well. I’m glad we got to explore many of the different lands and their rulers over the course of the series. I know the story is over, but I wouldn’t mind another book set further in the future to see how Ouranos is doing!

Thank you Forever and NetGalley for an eARC! I was surprised to be picked and very grateful for the chance to read it early!

This was a great conclusion to this fun series! This is such a unique and fun world that Nisha J. Tuli has built! I love how we've gotten to see Lor grow so much.

There is a lot going on in this book - Lor must work to save Nadir, Rion is still after her, Aphelion is still in conflict, Lor must rebuild the Heart Queendom, but the Empyrium wants her to replace Zerra, so there was a lot to tie up in one book. This made the book a bit longer than the others, but I think it was a satisfying conclusion!

We get 4 POVS this time - Lor, Nadir, Gabriel, and Rion (with past and present). I liked all 4 and getting to see how the Atlas was handled and how Rion became who he is.

Overall, this book felt like a series of quests for our main characters. It was good, but it just dragged a bit for me given the length and all of the conflicts to resolve. I would definitely recommend this series for a fun fantasy romance read!

Thank you to NetGalley and Forever Publishing for this eARC!

Tale of the Heart Queen is the fourth and final book in the Artefacts of Ouranos series. I’ve been devouring this series since the very first book so I was super excited when I received the ARC. And when the time came, I dived right in.

In ‘Tale of the Heart Queen’ we continue right where book three ended. Lor made a huge mistake and is now again on the run for the Aurora King. But that’s not all. Lor is forced to find all the artefacts to safe Nadir. But the world is changing, there are rebellions happening all over the world and some people don’t want to help Lor because of what her grandmother did. Add the fact that she has the whole people of Heart counting on her to safe her people.

‘Tale of the Heart Queen’ was a great read I devoured from start till finish. A lot is happening, and it’s not a book that you can read between things, since you really have to concentrate to follow what is happening. Because a lot is happening! The author did a great job in finishing all the storylines beautifully. How great is that?

In this book we get what we are used to with Nisha J. Tuli.. We get a great romance, some steamy moments, adventure, thrilling moments.. This book had it all and I really loved every moment.

I’m sad to leave this characters behind, but I loved how their story ended.

Thank you for allowing me an early copy to the spectacular finale of the journey of Lor. It was amazing to see how Lor grew from page one of book one to now.

This book had so many twists and turns and wrapped up so many storylines in a very satisfying way.
This really was a wild ride from start to finish.
I also loved all the unique insights into the various kingdoms. This was a fun and emotional conclusion to this series. Thank you!

Wow what a fantastic conclusion to the Artefacts of Ouranos series!
It’s the thickest book compare to the other in the series, but the long journey was worth it to witness Lor, her family and friends’ happily ever after!

This long journey is packed with action scenes, heart-breaking and heart-warming moments, and lots of twists and turns.
Told from multiple POVs—Gabriel, Nadir, and Lor—we also gain more insight into the Aurora King through flashbacks, revealing a background story I didn’t expect.

The last few chapters are my favorite part, with the series beginning with a deadly trial and ending it with another one!
Lor has been through a lot of stuff, and I feel so proud for the person she becomes at the end of the series.

The romance also never disappoints. Lor and Nadir deserves their happy ending after fighting so hard for each other and their dreams, despite almost losing each other in the process.
They make such a great team during the trials, their chemistry is off the charts!

Overall, this was a great book to end the series and I love this series as a whole!
I have mixed feelings whenever a good series end; I felt sad to say goodbye to these characters but also felt satisfied with the thrilling epic journey the author created for us.

I’m really looking forward to read more books by this author in the future!

Tale of the Heart Queen is the fourth and final book in the Artefacts of Ouranos Series. I'm sad that the series is over but I absolutely loved this book and series. I haven't read a series that increases my excitement, anxiety, and heartache with every book that is released. It was a rollercoaster ride as we uncovered each character’s past and the events that shaped the history of Ouranos. The twists and turns of this phenomenally written plot kept me on the edge of my seat. And then we finally get the resolution to Lor and Nadir's romance and every characters’ arcs as Nisha promised. Perfection! I can't rave enough on how highly I recommend this must read. Definitely 5 stars!!

What a beautiful conclusion to an incredible series! After the intense ending of the previous book, I wasn’t sure what to expect—but I knew it would be a fantastic finale. And I was absolutely right. The story ties together in such a satisfying and perfect way. I don't want to spoil anything, especially since so much happens, but I was genuinely thrilled with how it all came together. Unlike some series endings, nothing felt unresolved or unsatisfying. Everything came together perfectly, and it was so satisfying to see all the pieces fall into place.

Lor and Nadir’s relationship has been through so many ups and downs (a lot of ups and downs), but those challenges never diminished their love for one another. In fact, they only brought them closer. Nadir starts off as a broody, bossy figure, but his character development is remarkable. By the end, he's this sweet, caring, "I'll burn the world down for you" type of partner. Lor is his anchor, keeping him grounded and sane—but I'd argue the same goes for Lor. They support each other, speak their minds honestly, and always have each other’s backs. This dynamic is why I love them as a couple.

Gabriel is another standout. He’s such an underrated character. His growth is impressive—from someone you initially dislike to someone you can truly understand, sympathize with, and even love. I always felt there was more to his character, and I’m so glad he had the chance to show his true colors.

Without giving too much away, I can honestly say that this is the perfect ending to the series. Even though there were a few moments that felt a bit drawn out, the conclusion was everything I could have hoped for. Every character received the ending they deserved (at least, in my opinion), and I’ll miss them dearly.

A big thank you to Nisha, her publisher, the entire team, and NetGalley for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review. Tale of the Sun Queen is set to release on November 26, and I highly recommend this series. Congratulations to Nisha for wrapping up such an amazing series!

Tale of the Heart Queen is the FINAL book in Nisha J. Tuli's Artefacts of Ouranos series, and I could not put it down. I'm so thankful I had this waiting for me to read after I devoured Fate of the Sun King (book 3) because of the HUGE cliffhanger.

It's hard to review this completely because much of it is a spoiler for the previous books, but I will say if you love spicy, high fantasy, romance with plot twists galore and enemies to lovers and banter, then this is the series for you.

Overall, I absolutely LOVED this book and this series. I don't think I've ever read a book this big (660 pages) in a day, but I just could not stop reading it. I am a Nisha J. Tuli FAN and I can't wait to dive into her other series. I also look forward to her first contemporary romance, out next year.

Thank you to Forever (Grand Central Publishing) and NetGalley. I voluntarily read an early copy of this book.

Vivid and beautiful world building with a cast of characters that had me interested in how everyone’s story ended. Lor and nadir continue on their journey that they believe will solve the world’s problem, however things are not as they seem. I love when a book can make me surprised with its direction or ending but still content with how the story finished. Every court had characters that were developed well enough even though they were background characters that I was invested in every court being in a good place. Gabriel arc was fantastic. Thank you netgalley and the publisher for this ARC.

Where do I even begin? I started this series about 4 months ago and was thrilled that the last book was not going to be a long wait! I have a love hate relationship with unfinished series. I love reading them as they come out but I’m also impatient AF.

This book was the perfect ending of the series. Lor is the perfect main character. She’s a strong badass FMC. This book picks up exactly where Fate ends. One of my favorite things about this series is all the different POVs we get. I love the chapters we get of Gabriel and the look into the past.

The end of this is perfect it wraps everything up so nicely with all characters. This is hands down one of the best romantasy series out there.

𝑻𝒂𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝑯𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒕 𝑸𝒖𝒆𝒆𝒏 is the fourth and final book in the Artefacts of Ouranos series. I have loved this story from start to end.

❤️ Fated Mates
🥀 Who Did That To You?
❤️ Found Family
🥀 Epic Quests
❤️ Burn The World For You
🥀 Gods

This was a fantastic conclusion to the series. I feel like all of my questions were answered and everyone got an ending. Rion finally understood what he had been missing out on all those years he was busy being a tyrant and I appreciate we got to understand him bit more.

Lor will always be fierce and will fight for those she loves. Lor, Nadir and the rest of the gang have definitely been put through the ringer.

And the soap comes full circle!!! I will always love Gabe. He is by far one of my favorite side characters.

**An Epic Conclusion to a Beloved Series!**

This book has it all—betrayals, heartbreak, redemption, and a satisfying happily ever after.

What I loved most is that, even though it’s the final book in the series, it adds layers of depth and complexity to the storyline rather than just tying up loose ends. The twists that Nisha wove in kept me hooked, and I found myself breezing through the chapters.

Although it took me some time to warm up to Gabriel as a character, by the end of book 3 and throughout book 4, his chapters became the most heartbreakingly tragic and beautiful. His point of view struck me deeply every time.

Lor and Nadir's journey was so captivating that I slowed down in parts because I wasn’t ready for the story to end. By the time I reached the final chapters, I couldn’t stop sobbing. Despite all the twists and emotional ups and downs, the ending delivers the sweetest, most fulfilling conclusion.

Ugh the end to this series was everything I could have wanted. The questions left from the last book were answered, and everything came together in a lovely bow and a (spoiler alert) happily ever after. I'm so sad this series is over, but also I am so happy for our beloved Heart Queen -- long may she reign.

I really enjoy this book. I am just now getting into fantasy and it kept be interested. If you are into fantasy I would highly recommend this books and for people starting out or wanting to get into fantasy, I would say read this. This book is from multiple different point of views. Which I love books like this!
