I am so sad that this series is over, but so happy that everything ties up so nicely. It was a little too easy maybe? This book feels a little rushed. Everything is straight to the point and resolved a little too quickly I think. I think we could have split this into 2 books and taken our time with this huge feats that Lor has to go through. Like, the search for the Arks and the bonding be one section, have that book end on a cliffhanger, and then finish with the lay book about the Underworld adventures and I would’ve loved to see more into the rebuilding of the Heart Queendom. I would read 8 more books about this world honestly ❤️

Tale of the Heart Queen

Wow what an ending to an amazing series. The Artefacts of Ouranos is easily a top favorite series with an addictive romance and action packed storyline.

I loved this book the most because it had some amazing full circle moments and tied off all the storylines with an amazing bow.

I loved getting the different point of views with Lor, Nadir, Gabriel and King Rion. You learn so much about the cause of all of his actions in this book, and I am so glad for that. The action was nonstop and the plot twists hit left and right. There was so much heartbreak and loss in this book. It was the spiciest book of the series, but the spicy scenes were in all the right places. There was also a very good ending, and I am quite sad to leave this world. Nisha did an amazing job from start to finish. Excellent book, 5 stars!!

4.5 stars rounded up!

I can't believe this story is over, but I couldn't think of a better or more satisfying ending. This book was full of so many twists and turns that I was on the edge of my seat this whole book. There were some moments (Particularly at the 80% mark) where I felt like there was no way this book was going to wrap up all of the loose ends, but I should have just had faith. Every question I had was answered and all of the storylines were wrapped up very nicely.

The artefacts of Ouranos series hold such a special place in my heart! This is such a wonderful fantasy romance series. It is exciting and fast paced, and I am heartbroken that I will never be able to read this series again for the first time.

This book did have a slightly different feel than the other books in this series, but I think that is because this is the end. We have a couple that has been through the ringer and has come out on the other side of things in a happy and healthy relationship with a lot of communicating. I love their relationship, but I think the tiniest bit of the magic was lost because the tension and pining and angst was so well done in the first three books, and this book didn't have that. With how the third book of this series ended, I thought we would get at least a little bit of that tension and angst, but the characters communicated and trusted each other so things were resolved very quickly. That's not a bad thing, but it just didn't have that same feeling as the first three books.

This was the best ending this series could have had and I will never stop thinking about this story and these characters.

Thank you Nisha for writing this series, and thank you to Forever publishing for letting me read this story early.

The final installment of the romantasy series. The first 2 books were terrific and this one is wonderful as well. Lor runs from the Aurora king and she must choose to fight for Nadir and her country....

It's exciting and fast-paced. Love the action and the suspense. Terrific romance of course. Still love Lor and how brave she is. It's a perfect ending to the series....

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

I will be writing more of a review when the book releases in November. Right now it is too soon and I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone. What I can say is this book is everything I expected it to be and then some for the last book in the series. I loved it. I wish we didn’t have to leave these characters but this series will definitely be a reread for me.

Tale of the Heart Queen by Nisha J. Tuli

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I started this series last year when I first got back into reading and have now devoured most of Tuli’s books! Tale of the Heart Queen was a perfect ending to fantastic series! I loved everything about this series right from the start and I was not disappointed in this final installment! Lor and Nadir are one of my all time favorite couples and I enjoyed everything about their story!

This series really has everything you could want! Love, adventure, redemption, revenge, high stakes trials, awesome side characters, and I Absolutely loved the little Easter Egg from book 1 too!

This is instantly going on my re-read list and I am so grateful that I found this series.

I can’t wait to see what the author does next!

Nisha cannot write a bad book! This was the perfect ending to this series with so many unexpected twists and turns!! Thank you a million times for this ARC!

There's always a certain level of apprehension when one comes to the end of a series. You're never ready to let go, will all the loose ends be tied up, what's to become of these characters that you have found yourself so invested in?

With Tale of the Heart Queen, all my apprehensions were assuaged. It was EVERYTHING I was hoping for, and I have to say Nadir's steadfast loyalty to Lor was the most attractive thing I have seen in a long time. Where can I find one like that?!

In all seriousness, Tale of the Heart Queen was every bit as captivating as the rest of the series, and then some. I was happy for the closure I had with my favorite characters, wound up with a plethora of quotes that will live rent free in my mind for the foreseeable future, and relished the results of the machinations of the villains. In the end it was completely satisfying, and guaranteed that the Artefacts of Ouranos is a series that I will definitely reread in the future.

I don’t even know where to begin, the ending to this series was perfection. Lor and Nadir are just so good together, and we get to see Lors magic grow. The character growth for these two as well was amazing to see, between book 2 to book 4 so much growth and change. A lot of loose ends are tied up in this book! And honestly Nisha could’ve made it 300 pages longer and I’d still be asking for more, I love these characters so much! While a lot of loose ends are tied up, there’s also quite a few twists and turns that I did not expect! The pacing of this book was perfect, honestly this entire book was a masterpiece and I’m so happy to have been able to read it early!

Thank you so so much Dana from Forever & the Forever team for inviting me to receive this advanced copy!

I’m so grateful the wait between the ending of book three and this one wasn’t too long because that was quite the cliffhanger.

My Thoughts:
It’s hard to review series without giving away spoilers from previous books, but this was a beautiful conclusion to such a fun series. The romance was beautiful. I loved the characters. And was pleasantly surprised by a certain redemption arc. There weee fun call-backs to book one, and I just adored how things came full circle.
Beautiful job Nisha. Now on to binge her other series. 😆

I really love this series and I think this was a great book to end on. I am sad to be leaving all these characters behind but I am excited to see what this author will do next. I love that the author uses multiple POVs so you really get to experience the entire story. there were so many twists in this book I was constantly on the edge of my seat.

Phe. Nom. En. Al!
I adored this finale. The final contribution to the series was so well done, I don't think I could have asked for anything more...other than more books!
This book is a big one, but it didn't feel like it was nearly 700 pages because of the way in which Nisha writes with such description and grace. I could see each and every sentence play out in my brain, and I know no adaptation can do it justice, (but I am eager and hopeful someone tries!)
Thank you so much for concluding this series in such a beautiful way! I can't stop thinking about this book and the series overall, and it is one I will recommend for years to come.

I think this was a great ending to this series and very happy with how all the character arcs wrapped up. I think Lor and Nadir are at their best in this book, they are both finally on the same page and it makes the romance even sweeter especially the part of the book when they weren't together. This book also has multiple povs and timelines so we get to see the backstories of characters, gods, and family members. This book definitely had plot and twists and we get a happy ending but it takes a while to get there. The spice and romance in this book were great i loved Nadir and Lor and how great they are together. I think this is the spiciest and the scenes were hot. Overall this was good and I would love to see if any spin-offs come from this world. Thank you Forever for this arc for an honest review.

I am HEARTBROKEN that this is the end. This was the ending everyone deserved. Prepare to have your heart ripped out (again) and pieced back together. There is astonishing growth in writing and just everything. I am so sad that it's over.

3.5 stars rounded up to 4

Well I’m sad that this series is over, it’s been such a ride. And I thought this ending really did the series justice. I have to admit though, it took a LONG time for me to get into it. I kind of felt like Lor and Nadir spent so much time apart in the beginning and it got a little boring. But… it really picked up and the ending was so perfect.

Notes: there are so many characters, and not a lot of backstory. I didn’t re-read the other three books before starting this and I have my regrets since I spent like the first 30% of the book confused. I felt like this book really needed a glossary 🤣. I also really have appreciated some of NJTs other books having a recap in the beginning, and I feel this book would have been really well served by having something like that. It’s just a lot to try to remember.

Also I felt like there were some lost opportunities. Like why give Willow magic and then just have nothing come of it? Womp womp. And why have a relationship blossoming between Hylene and Gabriel that goes nowhere? Speaking of Gabriel, that whole character and his motivations are entirely confusing to me. I feel we could have done without his and Rion’s POVs honestly.

But don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed it a lot and I’m glad to give this series a sweet send off 🫡 .

What a perfect and satisfying end to this series. I feel like it's rare these days for fantasy series to conclude with all of the plot threads neatly tied up, but Nisha J Tuli DELIVERED. The best part was that even though everyone got exactly what they deserved in the end, there were still tons of twists that I absolutely did not expect, and I breezed through this book. This series is worth the read if you love a good romantasy!

Nisha, please give us spin-offs about Gabriel and Tristan!

Thanks to Forever Publishing and NetGalley for giving me a copy of this e-ARC!

This book was amazing!! Such a great ending to an incredible series! I am in my feels after finishing it. I feel like all the characters stories wrapped up perfectly and just like all the books, the pacing made me want to never put the book down.

I gotta say.. I am very sad this series is over. I loved it so much and I hate that it has come to an end. I will miss all of these characters because I truly felt like I was in the story with them all throughout these last 4 books. I devoured each and every single one of these books and loved every single moment. Book 4- Tale of the Heart Queen was great and I loved how it ended too. There was so much that went on in this book. I loved all the adventures we got to explore with Lor and Nadir. I love that we got the back story of Rion and what made him who he was today. I love the villians in this story too and how it all played out with them, the arks, everything. Truly an amazing series and I HIGHLY recommend this series to every single one of you. I know this wont be my last time reading this book and definitely will re-read this entire series again in the near future. You will be in for a wild ride with this one! <3

Such an amazing ending to this story! The growth of the beloved characters was on of the best i’ve read. As sad as i am for their story to be done, I am so happy that they got the ending they deserved b

I am in love with artifacts of auranos. With that being said, Fate of the Sun King seemed like a book without much going on to hold the reader on and give them a little something something until Tales of the Heart Queen. Because of that, this was almost overpacked with different plot lines and it felt like a cartoon jumping through different worlds every few seconds and being confused on where you were dropped now. I didn’t love that at all, but I loved how each characters story ended and thought that was done flawlessly. Overall, I am going to miss being in this world and am happy with how it ended.
