Thank you to Forever Publishing and the author for an advanced readers copy of this title.

I squealed when I got approved for a copy of Tale of the Heart Queen. ♥️ I am a fan of the series and the characters and it being the last book I was ready to see where the story went and how it ended.

I was not disappointed as this book continued with the action, suspense, mystery and love. There are many moving pieces to this story and it came together beautifully in the end.

I would rate this book at 4.5/5⭐️ and overall a 5⭐️ series. I will continue to recommend this series!

DNF @ 32%

I really hate that I’m not finishing an ARC, but I simply couldn’t continue. The writing felt hollow and emotionless?

For me, the series peaked at Book 2. I thought Book 1 did a great job of world building and had lots of captivating twists and turns. Book 2 was elite with its plot and Lor and Nadir’s sexual tension. Book 3, on the other hand, was a mess. When it came to this book, I was simply bored and not at all invested.

I may just not be in the right headspace for this book. Perhaps I’d enjoy if it I binged each book back to back. I forgot a lot of plot points from Book 3 since I read it 7 months back.

I absolutely loved the Artefacts of Ouranos series and this was really bittersweet to have it come to an end!

It’s not easy to write an ending that wraps up all of the loose ends and I really feel like Nisha J. Tuli was able to do it flawlessly. Tale of the Heart Queen really helped me to understand the full scope and importance of including Aphelion and the Sun King beyond the initial trials in book 1 (other than obviously how much we love Gabriel). Tyr just put me in all the feelings and I’m happy for his ending as much as Lor’s and Nadir’s. Everything came back full circle in a way I hadn’t been expecting.

This Romantasy series is one I will always recommend for enemies to lovers, found family, fated mates, unique magic systems, and world building.

⭐⭐⭐⭐💫

Tale of the Heart Queen was a thrilling conclusion to the Artefacts of Ouranos Series. The characters all matured from the first book to now and the character development is unbeatable. The plot twists were mostly unpredictable. Overall, the exhilarating conclusion to this magnificent series.

The perfect ending to a perfect series (I say while sobbing)

From the minute a bitch stole Lor’s soap (iykyk) I was absolutely hooked on this series. It’s bittersweet to see the Artefacts of Ouranos (@nishajtwrites) come to an end in this fourth & final book. I feel like I’ve grown with these characters & I love them so much for all their strengths & all their flaws. I’ve had the immense privilege of being an ARC reader for these books & I hold them dear to my heart.

Lor is one of my absolute favorite FMCs. She’s fierce, she’s brave, she takes no shit, she’s chaotic, & she’s loyal through & through. But we still see her feeling her feels!

Nadir is a top tier book boyfriend. This cold prince is really a softie & the absolute sweetest as long as you don’t threaten those he loves. Witnessing his character arc has been a true joy.

& then there are just so many other characters who are incredible!

I can promise you, you won’t want to miss Tale of the Heart Queen when it comes out on November 26, 2024!

I am so sad that this series has come to end. I did not expect to fell bad for the villians of the story but somehow I did. I maybe ven shed a tear for them. The personal growth that all the characters had experienced as well made my hear happy. Overall this story was wrapped up beutifully and is definetly on my reread list.

This book was the perfect ending to the series!! I’m obsessed with the entire story. I was never bored throughout this book and wanted to keep reading! The story was so unique, along with the magic system and I loved learning more about their world.

I’m so grateful I was able to recieve the ARC to the last book in the series, it will be in my heart forever!

Such an exciting story! It crescendoes with each page until the story you loved leaves you breathless once again!
Such a bittersweet moment when you realize it wraps up beautifully but the story is indeed at its end.

The spice and the romance are *chef’s kiss* and the friendships so well rounded !
Thank you Ms. Tuli for such an amazing story !

AMAZING ENDING!!!!🥰 This series easily made it into my top 3 favorite series and Nisha did not disappoint in making Tale of the Heart Queen a beautiful ending to a beautiful story!! 🥹 I’m so thankful for Netgalley and Forever publishing to have received an (e)arc of this book because I don’t think I could have waited to read the ending after the whirl wind of book 3!! 😭

I loved everything about this book! Lor and Nadirs relationship in this book was THRIVING! But also her relationships and found family with all of the people she met along the way was so beautiful😭 the love and community in this book made it so special to read!! The spice was AMAZING and beautifully written!!! And I loved reading the different points of view especially in the ending!! It wrapped up all the characters lives and their struggles throughout the story perfectly!!

Only reason I gave it 4 stars is because the first 3 books were better than this one and I felt like the passion and emotion for Lors pov was lacking compared to the first 3 books! But the whole series is a FIVE STAR series and a MUST READ!!! 😊

I have really enjoyed this series for the most part but I was a bit disappointed by this book. The character work has been good throughout the other books and I loved the tension between Lor and Nadir, but now that they are together in this book, their relationship kind of fell flat. I was really turned off by their reuniting scene when she is literally on death's doorstep and the first thing they do is hook up. Like, she could barely stand and was hallucinating, but that's what you do first?!? Anyway, as much as I loved the previous books I felt tlike this final book left some loose ends and was a bit anticlimactic.

What an amazing conclusion to this series! After what happened in the third book, I was a little nervous for what was going to happen in this one, but it was the best conclusion I could have asked for! I loved Lor and Nadir in this book so much more than the others. They finally got the ending they needed (and deserved). Having the different perspectives filled in backstories and timelines. I'm sad to let this series go, but I'm so excited to continue reading NJT!

I don't even know where to begin.

My heart... I feel like I won't be the same after finishing this series. I usually fly through books, but I found myself going slower, just because I wasn't ready for it to all end.

Book 4 picks up right where that crazy cliffhanger left us. You need to buckle up for the rollercoaster you are about to go on!!
In Tale of the Heart Queen, we get Lor, Nadir, Gabriel, and Rion's POV. It was very interesting to get Rion's thoughts and reasons behind all he did.
What a beautiful ending for Lor and Nadir. After all the struggle and heartache they have endured over the course of their lives- we finally get some closure.

I can not recommend this book/series enough.

Thank you to NetGalley, Forever (Grand Central Publishing) and Nisha J Tuli for the eARC- I am SO grateful!!

"Tale of the Heart Queen" is the fourth and final book in the Artefacts of Ouranos series. I have adored this series ever since the first book and was chomping at the bit to see how things were going to play out after the last book! Lor is such an amazing, well developed FMC who has made so much growth through the series.

The ending of this book had my crying in the nail salon, sad that it was over. Lor and Nadir are couple goals and complete bad *sses in this book. Also, the call back to TBTMS was *chefs kiss*. Check out the first book, "Trial of the Sun Queen," to get into this series!

5⭐️

This series was absolutely everything. I couldn’t read it fast enough wanting to know what was going to happen but at the same time i wanted to read it slower because I never wanted it to end.

From the very first book I was hooked. And this one wrapped everything up so perfectly. I was ok the edge of my seat the entire time waiting to see what happened to everyone and how it was all going to play out. And it definitely didn’t disappoint.

The found family in this series was truly some of the best I’ve read. I cried my way through the last few chapters just with how everything was wrapping up. These characters all had so much development from the beginning until the very end. I’m so sad to see this series end. But Nisha has become an auto buy author for me and I can’t wait to see what she does next!

⭐️ Strong FMC
⭐️ Trials
⭐️ Found family

I did enjoy the tale of the heart queen by Nisha J. Tuli, although I feel the story could be expanded more. The story lacked in depth world building, but excelled in character development.

I enjoyed Rion’s story most of all, and this was some of the best writing in the book. It is a good ending to the entire series, but I do wish we would’ve heard a little more from other factions in the book. I could see a spinoff series with several other characters.

This is a must read, if you have read the other three books of this series.

Nisha captivated an ending to a story perfectly. I couldn’t stop reading the last installment as it was packed with the final arks of so many characters that I am so captivated with. I couldn’t have hope for a better end to all these characters. All of the Tale of the Heart Queen felt justified and right. I don’t know how I’ll ever get to be okay with not continuing on with those series but this will forever be one of my favorite romantasy reads. To think it all started with a bar of soap.

I fell in love with this series! The “mate” talk was a little repetitive but overall it’s a fast paced and interesting romantasy. Interesting magic, fun side characters and a good time all around. I couldn’t put it down!

I was both excited to finish and sad to say goodbye. This was an excellent finish to the series. It tied up loose ends I didn’t even realize I needed resolved. I have loved, cried with and cheered for these characters for four books. Who’d have thought I’d be so emotional over a damn bar of soap!

I really enjoyed this book. It was the perfect ending to the series.. I love how all the pieces came together and all of the character growth and development really was amazing especially in this book. Lor is one of my favorite FMC’s of all time!

This has been such a thrilling series to continue with, and this finale is no exception! The cast of characters, POVs added, and romance make this a standout series in my mind and I'll be sure to recommend this to all the romantasy fans!
