Chef's Kiss!! Where to begin,,,? This book was the perfect conclusion to the series, I couldn't have asked for anything better, it had all the tropes a girl could ask for, and tickled all the senses. The writing was perfectly done, i love the different POV's, they add so much depth to the plot, and you truly felt like you were living this out. I think the world building in this series was spot on, and painted a picture for the reader. Such a wonderful story, and message. I was sucked in from the moment I started this series, i was new to this author and now I'm trying to get everything read that she has wrote, beyond amazing. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves a Fantasy Romance, heck to just anyone... This was a 5 star read for me, and I was sad the story was over. READ THIS SERIES!

Thank you so much for the opportunity to read this Arc. I love this series and was so excited go read the final book in the series. This was the perfect ending to the series. Full of action, romance and a great ending.
Loved it.

I wish I could give this book so many more stars than just 5!!

I have loved this series so much and have been hooked since day one when I started the first book. I read through all of the books so fast I just could never put them down. I really wanted the final book to last so I tried not to devour it and it was difficult of course. Nisha has a way to draw you in and put you into her stories. When you read her books you can’t help but imagine that you are there. I will always remember Lor and Nadir’s story and also the rest of the characters. This was a book not about just their romance but also how everyone else got the HEA. My favorite part was seeing how each character started to heal and begin their new lives. I’m so sad to see this series end but also happy for these characters. This is a series I will definitely keep coming back to read again and again. Thank you Nisha for creating such a beautiful world and bringing us along.

To say I am a huge fan of the ‘Artefacts of Ouranos’ would be an understatement. Knowing that ‘Tale of the Heart Queen’ is the last book in this series, I took my time to savour it. I am sad it is over - if you haven’t started this series yet add it to your TBR list.

Lor’s internal thoughts in this one had be laughing. Now that her relationship with Nadir has developed, their dynamic was everything. He was supportive and empowered her to take her rightful place.

The amount of males that cried in this novel let me know that fae masculinity is not a fragile thing. They are able to express their emotions and if felt healthy.

‘Tale of the Heart Queen’ had a few surprises and some moving farewells. I think it was the perfect ending to a series that I will keep on recommending to romantasy readers. Lor and Nadir are sticking with me - I am sad it is over, but excited for other readers that are just starting this series.

Thank you NetGalley and Forever (Grand Central Publishing) for sending this book for review consideration.

Was it a good wrap up to a very epic romantasy? Yeah. Was I wowed? Kinda.
I’m not sure if it’s because I haven’t read the third one in a while, or I’ve read other fantasy series in between, but I got the story lines confused until I reached probably the middle of this book. There seemed to be a lot going on at the same time and then again not really at all? I didn’t feel as emotionally connected to them as I did in the first three books, it’s almost like “I know they’ll get their HEA, so this doesn’t really matter”.
My favorite scene had to be Nadir and Anya saying goodbye to their mom, that one pulled on my heartstrings. It was such a sad and lovely conclusion to that part of the story!
Nadir also feels a bit cheesy in this one. Like we get he’s head over heels for Lor, but in this book he just kinda seemed like a lost puppy dog following her around.
Also while we’re on the topic of Lor, she got control over her magic after the bond was complete… doesn’t feel like she “earned” it.
Every problem just seemed to have a convenient solution, ie Lor’s inability to control her magic, them needing a high priestess and looky here, we have a secret undercover one under our noses all along.
I did enjoy the book, I just wish it felt more triumphant to be done with it.

you’re lying to me. this can’t be it i’m quite literally not ready for this to be over. what a solid conclusion oh my gosh!!!! i loved every second and i’m so sad to see these characters go, but i can’t wait to read more from this author and i’m intrigued to see what she has in store next!!!!

Thanks to @readforeverpub and @netgalley for the #gifted copy of this book.

Thoughts: Ahhh this was such a journey!! There was so much that they all had to endure and overcome that at times I thought what else could go wrong? But this ending gave these characters that I love such a wonderful wrap-up to their stories. I love Nadir and Lor, especially through everything they have had to face throughout this series. Nisha did such a wonderful job weaving all the storylines and POVs together to create this ending. I am sad to be leaving this world and characters behind.... However, this has become one of my favorite series, so I will certainly be revisiting my favorite characters once again.

The series culminates in an epic finale, expertly tying up all loose ends, courtesy of Nisha’s masterful storytelling. This book took me on an emotional roller coaster of feelings, evoking tears, laughter, and moments of utter astonishment. Lor’s devotion to her loved ones knows no bounds, and throughout her journey, she undergoes remarkable personal development. The narrative’s use of multiple perspectives provides deeper insight into the characters.I appreciate having the opportunity to read the advance reader copy. This series ranks in my top five favorite romantic fantasy reads.

Thank you for the opportunity to read this! I was so hesitant to read as I knew it was coming to an end.
I was so mad half way thru the book at the Gods. I wanted to throw the book. Luckily I didn't :)
Nisha you are a gem amongst all romantasy writers! As always Thank you.
Please devour this series everyone.

Long Live: That Bitch stole my soap!

I absolutely loved this book! I read it in one setting because it was so good and I could not get enough of the characters. I really loved the characters the author created and there journey that they took. The story was fast paced but detailed where I felt immersed but not bored. I will be recommending this book to all of my family and friends.

A beautiful end to a series that stole my heart. Every characters story was wrapped up in a perfect way.

Wow! What a trip this one was! I honestly did not know what was going to happen next. Like, what a rollercoaster! I was here for it, though! Lor and Nadir had quite the journey to their happy ending but I so enjoyed their story. It was beautifully done and it did not disappoint. I also enjoyed Gabriel’s POV and the side story of Atlas, Tyr, and Aphelion. If I could pick one word to sum up this book, I would say EXCITING! It was a fantastic conclusion to an awesome romantasy series! Thank you so much to the author, the publisher, and NetGalley for this amazing ARC!

After the heartbreaking cliffhanger of the last book I dove right in as soon as I got this

I loved the conclusion. Nisha J Tuli set herself up for a fairly impossible task having to wrap up so much and she does it all. Some things wrapped up better than others, but everything got its ending and that was very satisfying.

Lor is a completely different person at the end of this series as she is at the start. Through each book you can see how she’s slowly evolving to get to where she is on the final page.

Nisha J Tuli brings you on some expected quests but then she pushes you off a cliff. She breaks your heart as she’s making it pound with anxiety. In the best way.

This was an extremely solid series.

This was absolutely my favorite book in this series! There are the classic Multiple perspectives and timelines, which at times were a bit confusing and jumped around more than I’d prefer. The ending is stellar - both resolving conflicts and character arcs without feeling trite and unearned.

This was absolutely amazing and just absolutely Wow!
I am floored and need a minute to compose myself!

After the cliffhanger ending of book 3, Fate of the Sun King. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Tale of the Heart Queen, book 4 and the conclusion of the Artefacts of Ouranos series.

This was so bittersweet and I found myself stalling to finish this book as I really didn’t want it to end… I will be going right back to the beginning to start it all over again. I cannot get enough of this series and the truly outstanding characters that have come to mean so much to me, that Tuli has so meticulously cultivated and beautifully crafted.


This instalment was the whole series on steroids… amped up and all happening at once it is epic and something that will keep you up at night until the early hours of the morning and it will stay with you.

Fast paced and action packed…

The narrative flows flawlessly and the world building is truly outstanding and immensely epic in every sense of the word.

The twisting plotline has you on the edge of your seat from the first page right to the last! A work of art.

The characters are so well crafted you will feel a deep connection with them all. I absolutely loved Gabriel’s character in this book. His development throughout the series was truly on point. You cannot help but feel for him.

I am totally captivated by Nadir. He is all I would ever want in a man. Protective and broody and as hot and sexy as the aurora he is named after… and totally devoted to those in loves.

Lor, is an amazing character development throughout the series is awe inspiring. She is feisty, strong but doesn’t trust easily…and for Gods sake don’t take her soap.

Nisha. J. Tuli, is an absolute master of her craft, and it shows in the pure brilliance of this series!

You will find yourself feeling an array of emotions throughout this book… A tale of betrayal, love, power hungry and good overcoming evil.

Series Quotes:
My heart lives outside of my body now, bleeding out on the hard-packed earth where I kneel on the unforgiving ground.

“I will follow you until the very end. Into the fires of the Underworld if I must."

“Eyes on me, Heart Queen. Because I'm going to f* cking ruin You.”

“That bitch look my soap.”

“I want to kiss her. Partly to shut her up, but mostly to feel those lips against mine and bask in that savage anger.”

3.5 stars - this review contains some spoilers.

I think this was a good ending to the series. Everyone’s character arcs were completed well. The spice wasn’t overbearing and didn’t take away from the story. The ending paying homage to the soap was hilarious and I loved the little “Easter egg.”

I loved that there were still some Gabriel chapters.

I did think the book felt rushed, there was a lot going on with all the different plot points with Zerra and the underworld and all the other courts who were just there and did their part.

Overall, it was a good book and a good end to the series!

Longer review to come but first thoughts: WOW. What a lovely conclusion to this incredible series!!! Couldn’t have asked for a better ending.

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

ICONIC! I thought this was by far the best book of the series and it was clearly well thought out. I appreciate how many of the little potential plot holes were filled and the 🌶️ wasn’t overbearing. Bringing back the soap had me cackling and I’m happy with the ending not being something too predictable.

Great ending, wrapped up the story beautifully. And didn't leave alot un said. I hate seeing this series end but I'm glad I can get off the emotional Rollercoaster

I highly anticipated reading this book, especially after the previous book’s ending. We were left in a bind, our hearts shattered. How would we get out of the mess we ended with?

I’m not quite sure how to articulate how I feel after finishing this book, and the series as a whole. I am satisfied with the ending of the series but this book had so much going on and most of it ended up feeling rushed to me. It was almost as if it could have been broken up into 2 books. Every time I found myself wanting more in a scene, it would wrap up and the next plot point would begin.

After some of the absolutely heartbreaking chapters in the previous book (Gabriel’s, anyone?), I was really looking forward to delving more into some of that than I ultimately got. And then we were introduced to several new characters but didn’t end up spending too much time with most of them.

I enjoyed the book, but not as much as the previous ones. 3.5 stars.

Thank you to the author and Net Galley for an eARC of this book.
