First, thanks Netgalley and Nisha J. Tuli for the chance at this ARC.
Second, hot damn. I'm so sad it's over but it was a great end to a great series. Going through Lor's growth alone in these books have been incredible. I do feel like you get a lot of the same information over and over because of all the different explanations that go on but it's fine. That ending made up for any complaint I've had.

I absolutely LOVED this finale of the Ouranos series! I laughed and cried and just thoroughly enjoyed every moment of it.

WOW OKAY!!!

The last book ended on the most insane cliffhanger ever and I was SO excited to get an ARC of this one. Let me just start off by saying it DID NOT DISAPPOINT! This was such an amazing conclusion to the series. I felt like each book just kept getting better and better. Don’t wanna spoil anything major but maaaaan this was a ride.

I loved Gabriel’s character arc so much also. He really came a long way. Also, seeing things from Rion’s point of view was really, really interesting throughout.

The gift at the end killed me too. Please💀💀.

Four stars!! An awesome ending to an action-packed series. Thanks to NetGalley and Forever/Grand Central Publishing for an advanced copy!

I cannot imagine a better way to wrap this story! Right off the bat, you dive right into where Fate left off. You did t leave us hanging. I was annoyed for the first several chapters when Zerra was messing around, but Lor proved to be resourceful as per usual and got out of that particular jam.

What I loved, was how she was willing to sacrifice herself for the greater good. She knew what she would have to do, and still wanted to save the people. What great character.

And Nadir!!! All he was willing to sacrifice for his mate!

The sibling development was phenomenal… they should definitely get a spin off. I would love to see Tristan’s journey in the woodlands. And to see how Willow and Amaya fare— what Willow does with her healing power?! I want to see it all!!

I ran through all of my emotions in this book and as a naturally emotional person, I sobbed for the last 50-100 pages.

Well done Nisha!! Bravo! 👏🏼

I am sad to see this story over but I am content with the ending Nisha provided. I honestly spent a lot of this series wondering how on earth she was going to tie this all together. But she managed to do it which is no easy feat in a fantasy series. Her strong suit though is her ability to bring life to her characters. They all seam like real people, the good ones and the bad ones. I love an author who can make you feel for the villain just as much as for the hero. That’s what I felt in this book. There were several characters I hated but found myself on the edge of my seat for by the end of the book. I can’t wait to see where this author goes next.

Thank you Nisha & the Forever Team for giving me this ARC in exchange for an honest review!

**Spoilers Ahead** Oh. My. God. I am so sad that this series is over, but I loved the way it ended. Nisha has created one of my all-time favorite series that I have recommended to friends over and over again, and this book just did the ending justice. My heart broke at the ending of the third book and continued into the beginning of this one. To see Zerra again and have it all come around to making the ending we needed was great and she got what she deserved in the end. I am so happy we got Nadir back so that one of my favorite book couples could live in the happiness they deserve. This series has continuously pulled me in and I fell in love with all the characters, magic, and world. I am happy that Lor got to fulfill her destiny and that the whole circle got to have the peace they need. The multi-POV was amazing again, and now I'm desperate for a little peak into Gabriel's life and hope that he is happy with where he ended up (along with Hylene). Tyr was a great choice for the next god and even though we didn't know much about him, I think he got a good ending for his character. A great ending to a fantastic series, even if I selfishly want more. Thank you Nisha for this world and all the love that went into creating this series.

It is always bittersweet when a series you love comes to an end. Although book 2 will always be my favorite of the series, I was really happy with how author Nisha J. Tuli wrapped up all the characters' stories. 

I enjoyed the multiple POV's in this book. I would have loved even more of Gabriel's point of view. I thought there were many twists throughout this book that kept it interesting until the very end. 

As I think of this series as a whole, it is incredible to see where it started and how it ended. I loved getting to know these characters. Lor and Nadir will forever be two of my favorite romanatsy characters.

Wow wow wow ! What an amazing ending to this series. I have loved these characters so much and I'm so happy they got the ending they deserved. This book was action packed every chapter and the story never slowed down. This series is one of my favorites.

Nisha J Tuli really delivered in this last book of the series. I will miss this world and these characters so much. I loved the different POVs throughout and getting to see Lor and Nadir again just made my heart happy. Lor as a character really came full circle and she constantly surprised me. Nadir oh Nadir, my love for this MMC is unmatched. He’s ruined me for others in the best possible way. All in all lots of twists and turns throughout this last book and I was constantly kept on my toes. I said this before with the first book and I’ll say it with the last, run… don’t walk to read this series it’s that good!

4.25 stars!

a great final book to the series!! i really liked seeing how all the pieces came together in this series. when i first started trial of the sun queen, i was not expecting all the plot twists that led us to this moment, but man it is definitely worth it. there are clues throughout the first three books that finally come to fruition. plus the flashbacks to the historic moments... everything makes sense now!!! after the cliffhanger of book three (criminal honestly), i was so excited to have the arc and dive straight into tale of the heart queen. i really enjoyed it. i was entertained. the spiciness was great. i will say this is not an extreme jaw-dropping fantasy. it's a great fantasy series to read when you just need something easy and spicy to read. one thing i really enjoyed in this book was the different characters pov. i know we had some of that in previous books, but man gabriel's pov was lowkey my fav this book! i wish we could have had more of him!! nadir & lor are bosses as always. also nadir? A TRUE MAN!!! he loves lor with his whole heart i can't

thank you Read Forever & Netgalley for the eARC! this is my honest review.

I loved this series overall and I’m happy with how it ended. There were a few surprises for sure, like with Tyr and Rion, that I was surprised to see. I loved getting even more of Gabriel in this book, who slowly became one of my favorite characters, which I never expected. I’d honestly read a prequel series about him if it came out!

My biggest complaint was the arks and how they related to Zerra. It was all a bit confusing and it seemed like even our main characters didn’t understand how or why it worked. I didn’t understand why the arks were made, what they did, and then how exactly they tied back to her. Maybe this was mentioned briefly, but definitely not enough for me to retain any specific information about them.

The ending felt a tad rushed. Everyone got a happy ending and it was tied off neatly with a bow very quickly. I felt maybe some of it could have been an epilogue instead of a bunch of separate chapters.

Overall, I’d recommend this book series! I enjoyed the characters and the story.

i really enjoyed this series.

Thank you to NetGalley and Forever Publishing for this ARC in exchange for an honest review! Total rating: 4.25 stars. This series is one of my favorites and one of the first to get me this attached to the characters in a long time. I love Nisha’s writing so much and the way she made me fall in love with so many characters. Lor and Nasir’s character development is just so amazing. They will forever be on my list of top favorite main characters. Each book in this series just has something different to offer and the whole plot is SO original while also incorporating components that I have loved from other romantasy books.

Starting with this book and my overall thoughts: I will admit, I didn’t love this quite as much as the second and third books, however, I still adored every minute of being in this world and I think it was a perfect wrap up to the series. I love how the story played out and how all of the pieces fell together. One of my favorite parts is how Nisha tied up every loose end. I didn’t feel any part or any character’s story felt incomplete and I loved seeing all of their endings. The last 15% made me cry numerous times. This series holds so many different beautiful emotional stories within it while still being fun, entertaining, filled with wholesome & steamy romance, and funny all at the same time. This fourth book was the perfect completion of the Artefacts of Ouranos series and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

It was a solid finish to the series. I like where all the characters ended up in their respective arcs. That said, the book felt a little too long. There were a couple of sections that felt like they dragged or didn’t make a lot of sense (like the entire hunger-games-like chapters in The Underworld).

Overall though, this was a fun book and I enjoyed Nadir and Lor’s journey and seeing them come into their own. I also really enjoyed some of the callbacks throughout to previous books, like the soap gift Lor gets (10/10 moment).

Thank you NetGalley and Forever for the ARC in exchange for an honest review

I absolutely loved this book, loved the series. I can't believe it's come to an end. I am so thankful to have received this ARC copy to one of my favorite series of current time. I devoured this one up! Oh HEART KINGDOM - I will serve you faithfully. Our time in Ouranos has come to an end and I am so sad. I highly recommend this series for those interested in fantasy, trials, rivals to lovers, amazing side characters, twists and turns, magic, beautiful book covers and a happy ending. Love Love love - a 5 star experience for me.

This book was so well done, so well thought out and just absolutely the perfect wrap up to this series. It is such a satisfying ending! Fans of this series are going to really enjoy going on the journey through this book, with the characters that we loved. An absolutely perfect way for the series to end!

Whew what an ending! I have loved this series so much it’s hard to let these characters go. At the very beginning of this book I was really unsure whether this book would give us the satisfying conclusion we hoped for. It felt like a lot of storylines that needed to be resolved and normally I hate when new side stories and characters are introduced in the final book but Nisha brought this all together beautifully in the end. I definitely shed a few tears in the final few chapters.
I really don’t want to spoil anything so I’m going to leave it here. This series was wonderfully done. Thank you for letting me be an advanced reader.

This book was 100% the conclusion the series needed.
It had EVERYTHING and my emotions were all over the place by the end of this damn book.
I actually didn't think it would affect me the way it did but honestly, seeing this incredible series that I've followed since the very begining come to an end really stirred something inside of me. The characters within this book aren't just characters to me. They're familiar. They're friends. They're home.
Lor is such an incredible character throughout, and having been through so much, I'm so glad she got the ending she deserved even if Nisha was slightly mean forcing Lor to relive certain things in the last part of this book that I thought she would never have to see again.
This book also has a really focused redemption arc for a certain character and although I wasn't sure about it at first, I do think it was the right thing to do to give another character a sort of closure.
Although I'm not the biggest spice fan, the spice in this series just works. The energy between Nadir and Lor is unmistakable and it's always different and exciting between them. The spice isn't a gap filler, it's fulfilling and progresses the story with Lor and Nadirs relationship becoming stronger each time and a new understanding passing between them too.
Nadir is the prince we all need. A man willing to lay his crown down and lay waste to his inheritance to be with the woman he loves. The woman he would go to the depths of the underworld for if need be.
Overall this book is a perfect conclusion to the series and now I'm just sad I've had to say goodbye to my favorite people who became like a safety blanket to me.

What a ride. I laughed, I cried, it was the perfect ending to the Artefacts of Ouranos series. I have loved every second of this series and was not ready to say goodbye. This series is one you can read again and again, I highly recommend! Nisha works through character traumas beautifully and has us rooting for characters we did not believe were redeemable. This book had it all, romance, revelations, secrets, acceptance, forgiveness and an ending that made our hearts happy.

What a perfect conclusion to one of my favorite series.
Lor is once again on the run from the Aurora King after a devastating and uncertain event. She is forced into new tasks to save Nadir’s life while balancing the future of all of Ouranos. Lor is confronted with decisions and life altering choices that make her question her responsibilities and character. When further powerful villains test her- she is thrust once again into trials and challenges to fight for her friends, family, and Queendom.

The full circle storytelling for all characters in this book was beautiful. Every sub-plot and character has its closure and it threads the rest of the series in so beautifully leaving you feeling nostalgic and connected. From Lor and Nadir, to Gabriel, Tyr, Tristan, Willow, Amya, Rion and Atlas… there are layers of complexities and character arcs that leave you feeling complete. I loved the tests and challenges that Lor faces in this book. The softening arc of Nadir and their love together is one of my favorites. There are some fantastic themes woven in that bring book one back into life in such creative ways. I’m sad this series is over but love how it ended!
