I really liked this book and I can't wait until the 4th installment is released. The review below does not contain spoilers.

The chemistry between our FMC and MMC was so much better in this book. It felt electric and sincere. Their love felt more real and that made the ending so devastating.

I really loved the new POVs. Gabriel's actions were such a mystery but hearing his story through his voice explained all. I loved the flashbacks to the original fae monarchs and all we learned from them.

This book served to anchor down the overarching story with context. It did just that while still serving a great storyline and providing room for the central romance to blossom.

🔥 ARC REVIEW 🔥

I have been HIGHLY anticipating this book so I did a little happy dance and shrieked for joy when I got the ARC. The thrill surged through me like a lightning bolt (pun intended!

I'll start off by saying, out of the three books in this series, I liked this one the least so far, but to be honest, book 2 was one of my favorite books ever, and book 1 was also up there so the bar was really high... and I still rate this book easily as a 5. The reason that it's #3, both in chronological order, and in my heart, is that we go back in time a lot for some additional world building to set up for the ending, and the back and forth pulled me out of the moment, especially because it was going from 1st person to 3rd person. Maybe in some ways that’s good for me though, because I tend to devour books without coming up for air, so this does sort of force you to pause and think. I was also on the fence initially about Gabriel’s POVs, but I did end up enjoying getting into his head, especially towards the end of the book.

The slow burn? It erupts into a wildfire. Nadir and Lor's chemistry sizzles, leaving literal scorch marks on the pages. The peppers? They were peppering (2.5/5). NJT is literally my favorite, the queen if you will, of spicy scenes. They're just SO GOOD and so beautiful without being cringey. All hail.

I also love Nadir’s POVs so much, and we continue to get them very regularly in this book It’s sweet how he’s such a simp for Lor. Honestly, every heroine needs a sexy smoldering Nadir in their life :) Lor grows a lot in this book as well, we see her healing and she finally stops being so angry and impulsive (but let’s be real, she’s still a total spitfire and we wouldn’t love as her as much if she wasn’t).

Last thing I have to say is… THAT ENDING THOUGH. I don’t even know how I’m going to recover from this. I don’t want to give anything away but if what happened is permanent, I am revolting. Now I feel like I need book 4 immediately, this wait is going to be agonizing.

What a cliffhanger!!! This book was an amazing third installment of the Ouranos series. There were so many twists and turns that I did not see coming, which was refreshing and original from the plotline point-of-view but incredibly frustrating for the characters. Lor just cannot catch a break!

I can't wait until the final book comes out in November -- please don't make me wait that long!!

Thank you to the author for giving me an e-ARC of the book via NetGalley!

I love this whole series and Fate of the Sun King does not disappoint! The enemies to lovers is so well done, I love getting more of Nadir’s POV to see just how devoted he is to Lor. Seeing them both process their internal turmoil and coping with the previous traumas is so genuine and brings so much life to their characters. I love a sincere progression to being vulnerable and earning trust and this story delivers. The character development is well done for main characters as well as so many side characters and that is always commendable for an author to accomplish! As you’re reading you feel connected to these people and this book keeps you on the edge of your seat. Gabriel’s story is fascinating and I definitely didn’t see that coming but love where it’s going. There are whole layers to this world that we learning about and revealing how it’s been interwoven into the story from the beginning is so well done. This book ends on a major cliffhanger so prepare yourself accordingly!

I love a badass FMC and Lor did not disappoint! The character development in this book was 👌🏻 perfection. And we finally got some spiceeeee between our two favorite peeps! Beware: this book ends on a cliffhanger and I am already dying to read the next one. This series has made Nisha an auto buy author for me!

This series has quickly turned into one of my all time favorites. First of all, Nisha Tuli is a brilliant story teller. She weaves beautiful plot with a wonderfully built world, and perfectly flawed yet loveable characters. She has you guessing and second guessing where the story will take you. And I'm here to tell you I am strapped in and screaming with delight and sometimes terror with the rollercoaster ride this book takes you on. Read. This. Series. It's funny, and heartbreaking, and beautiful, and frustrating, and perfect.

Many thanks to Netgalley and Nisha Tuli for the eARC.

Thank you NetGalley, the publisher, and Nisha J. Tuli.

This book was everything I was hoping for. It was absolutely amazing!! I was hooked from the very beginning. I don't want to give away any spoilers but the things that came to light in the book.... My goodness. The ending left me devastated! I can not wait for the next book.

Well where do I start with this, I'll start with a big thank you to Nisha and netgalley for the arc of this book, I've been counting down to its release so getting the chance to read it even sooner had me jumping for joy!!

I've loved this series since the beginning! Book 1 brought the trials aspect and introduced you to the world and characters. Book 2 we saw some more character development and got a big dose of history and backstory. I feel like everything we learnt throughout the first 2 books came together in book 3, and all the pieces started to click into place!

The glossary of the characters had me giggling, Nisha always manages to draw you into her books before the actual story even starts!

I fell in love with the characters even more than I already had. In this book they've all come into their own and it's definitely been my favourite read of the series so far! Between the mix of family and found family in this series you can't help but fall in love with them, even if some can be harder to love at times *cough* Gabriel *cough* but we got a lot more insight into his story this time which made his actions more understandable! The story just kept on giving, sometimes a few books into a series you end up with a book that can feel a bit like a filler but this one was full of love, secrets, drama and everything you could want to keep you interested!

Now we've established that the story is great, let's get to the important stuff....... the spice 🌶🌶🌶 FINALLY we got the spice we have been waiting for!!

I do have one bone to pick though, THAT ENDING!! I am not OK 😳 how could you do that to us Nisha!! I'm sure all will be explained in the next book, but how are we meant to deal with this until then 😭😭

This is the third book in the series and you have to read the first book to fully appreciate it. Lot finally got the crown and she returns home to unlock the magic of her family.

It is exciting and romantic at the same time. It is definitely the series ending that I was hoping for. The characters are still terrific and fun.

Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

First and foremost, thank you to Nisha J.Tuli, Net Galley, and my phone alarm for providing me with an ARC copy.

Secondly, do you like a sharp tongued FMC who loves scented soaps and broody fae men? Do you, too, also have a thing for women who punch first and ask later? Do you like girls with daggers? And complicated feelings? Maybe a lost royal? Am I talking about Aelin Galathynius? No. But if you love her, you’ll really love Lor. Lor actually cusses. And Nadir, but I’m a girl’s girl, so mostly you’ll love Lor.

Of course if you haven’t read the series, don’t start with this one. Start with Trial of The Sun Queen. If you’re not hooked with the first sentence, you are a liar. This story has humor, sass, a great but not overly complicated magical system, tons of action without being overwhelming, and all my favorite tropes.

-Enemies to Lovers
-But only one of them knows they’re enemies
-Grumpy Hot Men with powers I don’t understand
-Fated Mates
-An asshole with light hair and wings
-A trial
-Soap and fistfights

I’d like to finish my review by saying, Nisha, I would read a grocery list if you wrote it, but how dare you for that ending? These were my good eyes… AND

Atlas, I’m the creature hiding under your bed, fuck boy.
