I have been enjoying this series so much. I love the characters dynamic and have been so excited to see where it goes.

Unfortunately, I’ve recently became aware of the author ostracizing certain people/readers based on their political views and can no longer support this specific author.
I will no longer be reviewing this series.
I believe in books for all, not books for some.

What an ending! From prisoner, to Queen of Heart, Lor will forever live in my heart. It was an incredible adventure seeing Lor find her place in the world, gaining found family, friends, and her mate. Everyone got the ending they deserved and I’m so sad the story ends here.

4.5⭐

Oh my goodness 😭 I can't believe it's over! I think that's why I love series because you become so close to these characters and you become so invested!

My heart was not ready for everything that happened in this book! We got our different povs as usual which I love! All of Ouranos is basically turned upside down and everyone is chosing a side.

The stakes are just through the roof in this book and every character knows it and can feel it. What Lor and nadir have brought about, not just in the heart & aurora but everywhere, has made everything feel like its on the verge of exploding.

There was one particular part of the story that just did not make sense to me and I felt like it was unnecessary and took up so many pages. It was what happened at the end of the last book and continued onto this one. But at the end of the day I see why and it did accomplish what was needed. (Just personal preference)

Overall, I'm so glad and grateful I got to see lor's story and see her grow and start to heal her wounds. Ill miss the final tribute and her gang of misfits 💙

I hope this isn't our last adventure in the ouranos though!

I am so sad this series has come to an end! It was an amazing series and I absolutely loved these characters and seeing their growth throughout the book!
Every book in the series, I loved this world. But I absolutely loved this last one. So many feelings, great scenes, and that ending was amazing!
Can’t wait to see what Nisha has next! Thank you to her, and NetGalley for allowing me an eARC!

Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Overall, not bad. Tale of the Heart Queen wrapped up Lor and Nadir’s story in a sweet, very repetitive, happily-ever-after way.

But this was not my favorite of the series. I think what bothers me about it is how badly Tuli got lost in explaining everything about her world. There were too many side characters, too many explanations, too much politics and governing, too many layers to the magic, just, too much. At one point she was explaining the needed council majority for a law to pass…what, how did we get here? I also have a very hard time understanding her magic system in general as it felt like it kept changing and getting more complicated, which left me frustrated. Plus, there were many inconsistencies in the plot and world. At several points, Tuli even has a character reference how little sense it all makes, but “it is just how it is”. Almost like she was letting the reader know she realizes it doesn't make much sense, but hey, just go with it.

I also hated the final battle and bad guy. It was weirdly anti-climactic and totally nonsensical. (view spoiler) Not me, just rolling my eyes, while reading it.

All that being said, I still enjoyed reading it. While it confused me and frustrated me at times, if you squint at it, it was fun. Lor and Nadir gave all the spice and the ending did tug at the heart strings. If you have already read the first three, obviously you must read the final installment. Just be prepared for a different type of writing and for it to go off the rails, before it gets to that happily ever after.

It feels so crazy to be officially done with this series. and while I am happy with the final ending, I was a bit disappointed overall. Unfortunately it felt long without purpose and quite repetitive (if I had a dime for every time we had to go to someone else and tell them the same story). The spicy was too much in this one or it just didn't work? I felt like our author really forced a lot of wrap-ups to the story and it just felt monotonous and boring.

The climax of the book...well it just wasn't? It felt too obvious that everything would work out and wasn't interesting to read.

Thank you to Forever and Netgalley for this arc!

Amazing story! Everything wrapped up beautifully and Lor and Nadir have my whole heart. I'm sad the series is ending, but am so grateful I was able to ARC and finish the series.

Nisha proves again why she is a queen!! This series absolutely has my heart. SO GOOD!!!! Lor is such a relatable character and even her ‘tough to like’ traits add so much complexity to her character, I didn’t think book 4 could top book 3 but here we are!

This book is EVERYTHING. It was action after action. It gave me the conclusion l've wanted for this series.
Nadir and Lor deserves the world. This book made me feel and love every character, flaws and all. I cried at so many parts of this book. This is a beautiful ending! ❤️
Spicy rating: 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5
Thank you Netgalley and Forever for this ARC.🥰

Hey so this book wrecked me. I did not expect to CRY at the end but I did. This was the most perfect conclusion to this series. The action, the betrayals, the secrets, the ROMANCE, the character growth… it was all so good. I loved the plot and character development. I truly felt like our characters had grown so much since book one. The romance was top tier and the endings for certain characters were so satisfying. This book seriously had me on the edge of my seat and I thought it was the perfect ending. One of my favorite romantasy series!

Big thank you NetGalley and to the publisher for the chance to review this book pre-release. This was a STUNNING conclusion to the series. Ms. Tuli is a fantastic writer, and incredibly gifted. I would highly recommend this book (and all of her others) to those who love Maas, Armentrout, Yarros and similar romantasy writers. A more formal review will be available on my IG/TikTok and Goodreads for release.

Thank you NetGalley! I was so excited to read the final book in the series. However I really struggled to get through this book. I really wanted to like it as much as the first couple books in the series, but it fell flat for me in the end. I felt so uninvested in the plot, as well as the character development. Many things felt predictable, and easily resolved. I do know I usually lose a good chunk of interest when the couple gets together, so I’m sure there was a little bit of that interfering with my enjoyment, as the yearning and angst is gone. But as a whole it did not excite me. On a positive note, the spice was good.

An absolutely stunning and heart-racing conclusion to this series. I’m so freaking sad it’s over, but man what a ride. The growth from Lor, Nadir, and Gabriel. The secrets, the drama, the found family and love and friendships.

There’s really not a single thing I can say that isn’t a spoiler but just trust me when I say this book was infinity stars.

I couldn’t think of a better way to end this amazing series. I started this journey right when the second book released and have been following Nadir and Lor for a long time. It has been a while since I got so much invested in a book.

The world Nisha created is not only unique but each book contains a different information. In this book Lor is finally developing her powers and we also have Tristan displaying some as well. This time Lor is going to need all the help she can get to be free of the Aurora King. With him hunting her it is really difficult to ask for help. But she not only manages to convince other rulers but also ends up exposing the entire mess from the start.

We explore Heart, Woodlands and Alluvion. Woodlands is as amazing as we’ve seen in Lor’s memory and I’m happy to meet the rulers as well. I was surprised and in love with Alluvion. But Lor had to do what she had.

Finally, Lor and Nadir get together in this conclusive book. Sparks fly and many many spicy scenes are there. I love Nadir and Lors romance, and they truly are a couple who would destroy worlds for the other. I’m thankful for the multi POV and get to see many sides of the story. We also explore more about Zerra and I did not like her.

I can't go to deep into details as this book as I want this review to be spoiler free but I'm so happy with the conclusion of this story. The action, heart ache, passion, love, trials, and magic were all written extremely satisfying.

Thank you netgalley and forvererpub for the opportunity to read and review this amazing book.

What an EPIC conclusion to this amazing series.

So much to love about this book. Nadir and Lor are such a great couple. The found family in this is top notch. The way every story line comes to a satisfying conclusion in this book was better than I could've hoped for.

This series has been cemented into one of my favorites of all time

5 stars!

What an incredible finale to the series! "Tale of the Heart Queen" truly delivered, and Nisha did an amazing job bringing the story to a satisfying close. The story and characters left me bittersweet—sad it’s over, but happy with how everything unfolded for the characters I’ve grown to love.

The final installment of the Artifacts of Ouranos series releases on November 26! Be sure to preorder now—you won't be disappointed as Lor and Nadir complete their journey surrounded by their family and friends.

Huge thanks to Nisha and Forever Publishing for the opportunity to read this ARC!

What a whirlwind of a finale to this series! It is bittersweet to see these stories come to an end, but I hope, maybe someday Nisha will return to this world, there are many stories still left to tell here!

One thing that has been so great and consistent with Nisha's writing is that no book feels like a filler book, this entire quartet was a hit after hit and Tale of the Heart Queen held strong with the rest. The sadness I feel as this story comes to a close is that she had the ability from the start to make these characters feel real and it feels like I am saying goodbye to my friends. Just like the previous books Nisha was able to instill humor to break up the trials and never ending action that happens in this book. I enjoyed seeing all the POV's from different characters and finally getting the background of Rion and what truly influenced his actions.

We pick up immediately where we left off in book 3 (thank god because I would have screamed otherwise) and the action and turmoil is immediate. But we get rewarded with excellent spice which helps give breaths of fresh air from the tension in other areas of the story. I fear to say more because at this point anything more would completely spoil this conclusion and you won't get the full impact if you don't go in blind.

I will say that the Artifacts of Ouranos is absolutely one of my favorite series, you will not regret picking this up. I devoured it as fast as I could and finally getting all the questions that have been plaguing me from the beginning answered. This is absolutely a satisfying ending.

Thank you so much to Nisha and Forever for inviting me to ARC read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you to Forever & NetGalley for this ARC.

I really wanted to LOVE this, but it just fell a little short for me, and I know I'm likely to be in the minority here. It had been a few months since the last book so I couldn't quite remember who a lot of the side characters were or what had happened with every individual plot line.

I think some of the plot line could have been taken out, and felt it was a little unnecessarily long.

I did enjoy the HEA wraps ups for everyone and seeing the completion of this story.

I enjoyed this book! It was probably my favorite one in this series. For some reason, it felt more fast-paced than the other three books. The POV's were constantly changing but always for a good reason. It made sense in the story. Even tho it was the last book some characters still surprised me and I still learned something new about a lot of them.

I was a bit nervous at the start because a lot had to be covered for the last book in a series. I was thrilled to see very ends tied and that it was well done. We get to see the ending of every single character in the series. I don't feel like a stone was left unturned.

4.75 ★ 2🌶️

I am so greatful for netgalley and nisha’s team for letting me read this early. i was so nervous for how it would end and i was not disappointed!!!

the story is a bit slow, it takes a while to get going, but trust me, it gets going. nothing and no one is safe in this installment and i was eating it up! I was panicking and turning the pages as fast as my kindle would let me.

the found family in this series, especially this installment is genuinely top tier. you have so many different personalities that come together and work to keep their world and their favorite girl, Lor, safe. I absolutely love the family dynamics and i love how complicated it is. it really shows that you could hate someone for so long and still understand they had their faults and they tried at one point to show you they still care.

I think what stood out to me most in this was the plot!!!!! the way things played out and the reveals we kept getting was SO GOOD!! it genuinely felt like super high stakes where no one is safe and that is what i’m looking for, especially in the final book of a series. the way the ending played out and how intense it was, god my heart was POUNDING. and the love i felt from both nadir and lor was so heartwarming. they let absolutely no one and nothing come between them. I was a MESS at the end and was just waiting with bated breath for the end. it wrapped up so perfectly and it was everything i could’ve asked for. it kept me on my toes while also wrapping things up in a realistic and satisfying way!!

I never thought i’d love this series as much as i have but it’s staked a place in my heart and. i can’t wait for everyone to read this. I am a mess over this and i am so greatful to have been given a chance to read this early!!!! this is one of the best series conclusions i’ve ever read and it did not disappoint one bit.

thank you again netgalley for the arc copy 🫶🏼
