I'm so grateful to Nisha and Forever Publishing for granting me an ARC of this emotional roller coaster. I have had the honor and privilege of being an ARC reader for this series and, y'all, it's been a *very* emotional journey. Especially chapter 73. I cried. A lot. My kids (and dogs) were concerned.
This is the conclusion we needed. Nisha ties up all the storyline flawlessly, with a few twists I never saw coming. 10/10. I'm a little sad that it's over, but this is definitely a story I will come back to and reread in it's entirely. Lor's evolution is amazing. And Nadir... I will never get sick of Nadir.

The Tale of the Heart Queen was the perfect conclusion to an incredible series. It was packed with action and masterfully tied up every storyline. I loved the different perspectives we got in this book and how they deepened our understanding of certain characters. The Artefacts of Ouranos series has truly become one of my all-time favorites, and I’ll be recommending it to everyone.

This was a great wrap to the series! Love that the ending ties everything together so you feel like you can leave the series without wondering "what about this character?!?!" Have already recommended this book and the rest of the series to a bunch of people because of how nice it all comes together!

A full circle conclusion! Nisha brought Lor’s story to a satisfying close, leaving little question about the fate of Ouranos. Love Nadir, Gabriel, Lor’s siblings and the whole found family vibes they created.

What a great conclusion to this series! Absolutely action packed, but we got to see the main character really come into her own and feel secure in her power and station. We got to see all of our favorite characters, a little more in depth than the previous novels in my opinion, and it was lovely. It felt like it tied up the story nice and I was very happy with how things played out. This is a spoiler free review, otherwise I’d go way more in depth! Truly great.

The perfect conclusion to the Artefacts of Ouranos series! The development of the characters, the enemies to lovers slow burn, the heartbreak and adventures kept me intrigued from the first book until the end. It's rare to see an ending fit so perfectly & leave me absolutely content with saying goodbye to the characters, but Nisha has done it!
Thank you NetGalley and author Nisha J. Tuli for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

Tale of the Heart Queen wraps up the Artefacts of Ouranos series as it follows Lor and Nadir as they attempt to work together with their web of friends, allies and even enemies to save Ouranos. I think this was a great wrap to the series and as author Tuli promised, we got a happily ever after - even though there was a lot of turmoil and heartbreak to get there. Tuli created a very complex world full of fae, magic, gods, politics and love. The multiple POV’s across timelines provided depth and understanding for the world. I’m excited to read more from Tuli.
Thank you NetGalley and author Nisha J. Tuli for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

This series has been such a fun distraction! The first book has a really long exposition, as the world and characters get developed. But getting through that is worth it for the second through fourth books. I can tell this author is inspired by SJM, as there are some thematic similarities: fae, realms, mating bonds, etc.
This book series has been easily bingeable, fun to read, I loooove Nadir as the male love interest, the multiple POVs was great as the characters aren’t always traveling together, there’s high stakes, adventure, a slow burn enemies to lovers, good character development, an imperfect FMC. The ending was also a super satisfying way to wrap up this series. Some spice, probably a 2🌶️
The only reason I’m rounding down to a 4 is because I feel like at times the writing over-explained things.
Thank you NetGalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!

Tale of the Heart Queen is the fourth and final book of the Artefacts of Ouranos series. It was an amazing finale with so many full circle moments. I teared up at the end and every plot point and characters' storyline were wrapped up beautifully.
If you are looking for an adult romantic fantasy with incredible world building and so many characters to love, this is for you! This may not be for more conservative readers, so check the trigger warnings! For me, it was five stars! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
It'll be available on Kindle Unlimited in November, so now is a great time to start the series!

Wow. Just wow. What a way to end of series. I am in awe at the way this series evolved through the books. There were always new things to learn and new twists along the way, even in this final book. You could never be certain you had all of the information.
Fate of the Sun King left on a massive cliffhanger, and I was happy to see how that all played out. And it was not at all how I expected. Nisha J Tuli does such a great job of keeping me on my toes at all times. There was even a story arc that I never could have guessed and was so pleasantly surprised by how it all came together.
Tale of the Heart Queen has such beautiful romance and love woven in. There's romantic love but also familial and sibling love, which I appreciated. I know I'll be revisiting this series again and again.

Tale of the Heart Queen was such a perfect ending to the series. It was action packed and tied everything together beautifully. I loved getting different point of views in this book, and learning more about certain characters. I’m going to need 10 business days to recover from the emotional rollercoaster.
Despite all the emotions this series has made me feel, I have the urge to re-read the series immediately because I already miss Lor, Nadir and the rest of the gang.
Artefacts of Ouranos series is definitely one of my favourites and I will forever be recommending it

A perfect end to an amazing series! I picked up the first book earlier this year and have been hooked ever since. This book was definitely one of my highly anticipated reads and it delivered!
The cliffhanger from book 3 was insane, so I'm glad that the story picks back up right where it left off and that we start getting answers right away.
I loved that we got to see more of Ouranos and meet more of the other rulers. I especially liked that Rion had his own POV. As one of the main villains, seeing his backstory really helped round out the story and explain his actions throughout the series.
Lor, Nadir, Gabriel, and the rest of the gang are really put through it! So much action, adventure, and crazy times. But it all leads to a perfect ending that wrapped things up really well for all of the characters.
This series is so good and will definitely be in my top reads this year! I loved it and would recommend it to all romantasy readers!
Thank you so much to Forever and Nisha J Tuli for the opportunity to read and review early through Netgalley!

having been apart of the ARCs for all books and when Nisha was indie, I am so grateful that the publisher let that continue! I loved this series. It’s the first I’ve gotten to arc read for the WHOLE story. The story is so well thought out and implemented. Nadir is basically my other husband. If I were Lor…
Nisha also ruined me with the mom scene and then when evil dad helped. You could find me sobbing my eyes out while my husband slept peacefully next to me.

Huge thank you to the author and NetGalley for this ARC in exchange of an honest review!
This book begins where Fate of the Sun King ended, so immediately I was drawn into this story because of how book 3 left off!
I could not set this book down because I was so anxious for Lor & Nadir to be reunited. And so when it finally happened, I was quite frustrated that all they wanted to do was have sex after being separated. They both kept agreeing to not speak about anything that happened while they were separated, BUT HOW COULD YOU NOT? I personally wasn’t hoping for spice in that moment, I was hoping for some communication & clarification between the two of them. Especially because she killed him… I feel like that is a topic to be discussed immediately.
I will say, on the other hand, I did feel satisfied by the closure we got on all of the previously existing plots, but wow were a lot of new ones thrown into this book as well. It was kind of hard to keep up with the new conflicts being added to the prior existing ones.
Overall I did thoroughly love this series, and despite this book not being my favorite of the series, it was still a satisfying conclusion.

Personally not for me. I tried to get into it and even gave it two different tries in case it was a mood thing, but I was not able to get past the first 15%. I know a lot of other readers will love this book though.

This was a strong, action-packed finale to a really fun series! Lor’s journey reaches its peak with new obstacles to overcome, and there is never a dull moment. The pacing kept me hooked throughout this series, and I don't often find a good fantasy series that seems to always be changing while still making sense with the overall storyline.
Along with the action, there were also a scattering of steamy scenes that this author really knows how to do well! It never felt repetitive or overdone, which I appreciated.
One thing that did throw me off a bit was Nadir’s character development in the later books. He started to feel almost too sweet or soft, and it made him seem younger and less mature than how he was initially portrayed. I missed the edge he had earlier on, and it made him feel a little out of place in the final stretch, but I will forever love his and Lor's journey together.
I’ll really miss these characters. Their journey was full of emotional highs and lows, and despite a few hiccups, it was satisfying to see everything come to a close. It’s a series I’m glad I stuck with, and it delivered an ending that wrapped things up in a way that felt right.
Thank you to Netgalley and Forever Publishing for an eARC of this book!

Thank you, NetGalley and the publishers, for approving me for this ARC in exchange for my honest and genuine review.
I want to start by saying that I love this series. I love the action, the romance, the characters, and the fantasy elements. I appreciate that this series touched on the intensity of trauma and the rollercoaster you go through during the healing process.
Unfortunately, this book did not live up to my expectations. So much fell short for me. The dialog and story seemed inconsistent. One minute, the author's writing was detailed and more complex, and on the very next page, it felt rushed and choppy. The conflict continued to expand past the halfway mark, and it felt like we were no closer to resolving the issue. However, in the last 80%+, everything was quickly concluded, leaving a lot to be desired. We've been with these characters for so long, and I was hoping for more detail. For more background, once they reached their HEA. But the book lost so much steam at the end. There was so much detail throughout this entire story, and the ending lacked that same momentum.
Overall, I loved following Lor and Nadir on their journey of love, destiny, discovery, loss, and peace. Thank you to the author for bringing us along for the emotional ride!

This book was the fourth and final installment of the series Artefacts of Ouranos. I was so upset at the end of book three I really wasn't sure how I would feel about this book. Tuli, however, was able to bring me back from my trepidations and build a wonderful conclusion to the story I loved. Lor and Nadir as individual characters were entertaining, and they continued to grow with each book in the series. I felt a part of Lor's journey and cheered as she learned more about her past and had concern for her when she realized what she must do to survive.
Woven within the MFC storyline were several other characters that it was easy to invest in as a reader. Tuli did a phenomenal job of allowing the reader to learn why the characters act the way they do and understand many of their motivations for their actions. Some of the side stories/characters kept me interested in the novel as much as Lor's arc.
Tuli really finished this series well tying up most of the characters stories and giving the reader closure that some authors fail to do. Overall, this series was fun, entertaining and worth the read. Book four did not disappoint. Book rating 4 stars.

My brain is trying to process those last few chapters, what an epic ending! I have no idea how NJT will wrap this up in the final book, kind of wish there were more books but maybe they’ll be a spin off series with one of the side characters? I loved getting to see the POV of the other characters especially those that gave more insight about the past. Really enjoyed this book and doing a reread of the previous two books. So excited for the next one! Highly recommend to fantasy romance readers!

I really wanted to love this book, I was enjoying the series for the most part up to this point. But this book felt, underwritten? Almost like the author was not as invested in the story and wanted to spit it out just to get it over with. There is a lot of parts that felt like not enough emotion, not enough energy, not enough of a scene to be given to something that holds importance to the story or the characters. Messily executed plots, and explanations for things that feel lazy. Its almost like reading a text book ? Which is a weird experience. I've read books that read like textbooks before, Priory of the Orange Tree is the biggest example, and those books were good and that whole way of writing was executed perfectly, not so much for this book. I DNF'd this book with only 10% left. Pure will got me through 80% of it. I wouldn't typically write reviews for books that I did not finish completely, but I felt that I had read enough to be able to provide this review. I am sad about this book.
