WHAT IS UP WITH THAT CLIFFHANGER WHY CANT I READ THE FOURTH BOOK IMMEDIATELY. I have fallen in love with this series and need a thousand more books, thank you.

The ending killed me 😭 I need the next book like now!! I absolutely love this series and love watching them grow closer and Lor learning more about her history and her papers 💞

Thank you to Forever for the review copy!

📚 series info 📚

I love a series that stays consistently good from beginning to end. Start with Trial of the Sun Queen, because this is a traditional fantasy series that needs to be read in order. The worldbuilding grows with each book, which I love, and readers who are just starting with fantasy might find helpful.

This one has a cruel cliffhanger, but book 4 comes out in November, so plan your reading accordingly!

📚 review 📚

First, I don’t have the attention span to read a character list - until this one. Please at least read Atlas’s description.

I love Lor, and am glad that we continue to see most of the book through her eyes. But I love the blend of POVs, including Gabriel with this book! His plotline was fascinating. And I loved learning more about the gods with this one. It’s rare that I find *every* plot line interesting in a multi POV, but Tuli’s writing helps me focus on the character’s relationships with each other in a way that keeps me interested no matter who is narrating.

This is one of those second-to-the-last books where I just need the fourth book, and have a hard time having any other thoughts. I can’t wait until November!

🎧 I love these books on audio. I read the first half with my eyes, and the rest by audio. I find the worldbuilding to roll out slowly enough that it’s easy to follow on audio, which is where I usually struggle with fantasy audiobooks.

Thank you to NetGalley, Forever, and Nisha J. Tuli for this ARC!

I am so happy I found this series! The magic and politics of this story are so interesting. I really think that it is unique and sets it apart from other fantasy series. In this series, you get past and present timelines as well as multiple POVs. I was never bored because I was always uncovering something new about the plot or characters.

Of course, I was DYING for the romance that finally culminates in this installment of the series. It was sooooo sweet but also heart breaking. I found myself highlighting the loveliest quotes that Lor and Nadir would say/think about each other. They were so opposite but would do anything for each other.

UMMM….. THE CLIFFHANGER? that was so mean. How am I supposed to wait for the next book? I have too many questions unanswered and I need to know everything is going to be okay 🥹

All of this to say, I would recommend this series to my romantasy lovers who appreciate a good slow burn.

An absolutely perfect third installment of the series. This book had me in a death grip the whole time. Some people don't write multiple POV well, but this one did and it helped get the full story. I am DESPERATELY awaiting the release of the next book after that ending!

ugh, I wanted this to be great. I liked book one and LOVED book two. this was sooo slow, meandering, boring. I didn't care at all about the history flashbacks. I found Lor really one-note and her relationship with Nadir went from 0 to 100 in a blink. even the spice was bad. around 50% I skimmed to the end cause I just wasn't feeling it. I don't know that I'll finish the series.

This is hands down one of my favorite series! Every book has been amazing and this is no different! I enjoyed every moment of this ride and am dyyyung for book 4

THE WAY THE ENDING OF THIS BOOK WAS SO PAINFUL.

I loved being back in this world and with these characters but I will never recover from the ending.

"Fate of the Sun King" is an exhilarating continuation of Nisha J. Tuli's "Artefacts of Ouranos" series. The multiple POVs are handled skillfully, enhancing the depth of the story and keeping readers fully engaged. Lor, Nadir, and the gang continue their quest to restore Lor's magic, facing new challenges and uncovering deeper layers of their world. The spice level ramps up in this installment, adding an extra layer of excitement to the narrative. Characters like Mael provide comic relief, while Willow and Tristan's development adds richness to the plot.

Tuli's storytelling is immersive, and the unique structure of interweaving different perspectives and the history of Ouranos creates a magical reading experience. Though some information felt a bit overwhelming, it didn't detract from the overall enjoyment. Lor's journey of self-discovery and empowerment is compelling and resonates strongly. This third book solidifies the series' place as a must-read in the fantasy genre, leaving readers eagerly anticipating the next installment.

Just when you think you have it figured out, Nisha adds more to the lore. I absolutely loved this new installment of the series. Not just the characters or story, but the details Nisha focuses on too. She has such a gift for creating an immersive world. I do seem to have a gift for finding authors who end with cliffhangers, with how wonderful Fate of the Sun King is, I cannot wait for the next!

OMG that ending!!!

Each book in this series just gets better and better. There's so much action, tension and heart in this series. And that slow burn finally paid off!!

I cannot wait for the fourth book to come out. I need it like yesterday.

Thank you Forever publishing and Netgalley for this free eArc in exchange for my honest review. Now I need to go buy a physical copy so I can reread this series over and over again!

Excellent!!! I am absolutely obsessed with this series, this author and this story! It is on on my all time top favorites.

This series has such an absolute grip on me!! I have been waiting for book 3 and it did not disappoint! The romance, the MCs, the ✨spice✨ finally.! I loved the addition of new characters in this book, and the multiple POVs/timeline was such an amazing addition. I cannot wait for book 3x that cliffhanger was unreal. My only complaint is the wait for book 4, it can’t come soon enough!

Omfg that ending!!! Nisha!!! I'm not going to lie that parts of this series haven't been predictable but omg I didn't see all of that happening! I've really grown to love this series and these characters. I cannot wait to get my hands on the next one! This book really gave us a background look at the Artefacts of Ouranos and the gods. I appreciated all of the information we've been waiting for!

An absolutely amazing continuation of the series. This book kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time. I don’t always love when there’s a bunch of POV but this one did it really well and helped you get the full story. I am DESPERATELY awaiting the release of the next book after that cliffhanger ending!

It has been over a month since I finished Fate of the Sun King by Nisha J Tuli and it took me so long to formulate my thoughts on the third book of the Artefacts of the Ouranos series. Thanks so much to the author, NetGalley and Forever Publishing for providing me with an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

This series just keeps getting better and better! Fate of the Sun King leaves off right after Rule of the Aurora King and Ms. Tuli really went full steam ahead with this one - from complex world building to witty banter and spiiice 🌶️ it had it all! There were so many revelations from the past and plot twists that kept me on my toes. I loved the fact that Lor and Nadir still had some work to do with the trust department, and I appreciated the mental health/trauma representation, since so many romantasy series glaze over the long term impacts of these traumatic events. It was beautiful to watch Lor go from accepting her trauma, to slowly healing with the help of Nadir, to becoming a bada** by the end of the book. Also, we finally got a taste of the 🌶️ and it did not disappoint! THAT WATERFALL SCENE 🥵🥵

If you haven’t checked out the Artefacts of the Ouranos series by Nisha J. Tuli, you need to read them! Would definitely recommend.

Loved this third Installment of Nisha J. Tuli's "Artefacts of Ouranos" series. We are back with Lor, Nadir, and the gang, still trying to restore Lor's magic so she can take on Rion. This book is quiiiite a bit spicier than the other two (and I am here for it), as Lor realizes something the rest of us already knew. Mael is such good comic relief and I enjoyed seeing Willow and Tristan coming into their own.

Once again, I was surprisingly unbothered by the multiple third-person POV, as I thought Tuli employed them well. There is a lot more information in this book, some of it a bit confusing, some of which I think might have been able to be introduced earlier on. But overall, this is a solid, entertaining read, I am already impatient for book 4!

4 stars. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a complimentary copy of this book. These opinions are my own.

I just love when a slow burn finally pays off. And I just absolutely LOVED the third installment of the Artefacts of Ouranos series. I don't want to give too much a way, but Nisha...*eyes* I'm gonna need the next one ASAP!

Didn’t hate it, didn’t love it. I felt like the pace could have been a little bit faster, with less planning and more action. And I felt a little distant from the characters.

Fate of the Sun King delivered! I'm even more obsessed with Nadir than ever before and so happy to have Gabriel's POV. The way the schemes were scheming in this one. Chapter 25 has me in a chokehold 😍🥵 holy hot damn, the way it all came together. My mind is 🤯 I can't wait to see where Tale of the Heart Queen goes!
