What a brilliant conclusion to this series. I absolutely love Lor and everything Tuli writes is an instant buy. The action was non stop, the spice was spicing, and it was everything I hoped it would be. Definitely recommend this series!

Thank you so much to Forever and Netgalley for providing an advanced copy of this book!! All thoughts and opinions are still my own.

This series is utter perfection and I won't take any other opinions.

I'm so glad I started this series when I did so that I was able to binge the entire series in a single year. Because I honestly don't know how I would have waited any longer for this amazing conclusion.

Nisha J Tuli is an all around gem to the romance world. And this series highlights everything I love about her work. It's complex with a diverse cast, classic tropes we all love with a fresh twist, and romance to completely swoon over.

This conclusion did such a fantastic job wrapping everything up without making it feel too clean or too easy - which is such a hard balance to hit! And as much as I loved this series and its ending I'm pretty sure I'd read a dozen more books in this world.

I really enjoyed this series as a whole, but struggled a bit with this book. As often happens, I had a hard time really embracing the story when the heart of it, Lor and Nadir, are separated. I did like that everything was tied up nicely, but it felt slow at times and all I really wanted was more of their romance.

Tale of the Heart Queen by Nisha J. Tuli is the perfect conclusion to an unforgettable series that I am absolutely obsessed with! After reading the first three books, I was eagerly anticipating this final installment, and it did not disappoint. The book picks up right where the last one left off, diving into high-stakes action as Lor and Nadir face off against the Aurora King. Their love story is at the heart of the plot, and their bond continues to be both deeply emotional and inspiring. Nadir remains the ultimate book boyfriend, and their devotion to each other is genuinely beautiful. The story also highlights the strength of found family, with characters like Gabriel, Tyr, and Rion having their moments to shine. Though the lighter humor from Lor's perspective was missed, the multiple POVs enriched the narrative, giving me a deeper connection to each character. Lor’s struggle with her powerful Heart magic and the consequences of her past decisions heighten the tension and stakes, keeping me on the edge of my seat. This series blends high-stakes fantasy with deeply personal stories, and Tale of the Heart Queen ties up every plotline perfectly, leaving me emotionally satisfied. Nisha J. Tuli has crafted a series that I’ll never forget, and I will eagerly read everything she writes from now on. If you love slow-burn romance, complex (but easy to get into) world-building, and unforgettable characters, this series is an absolute must-read. 10/10 recommend!

This is such an amazing conclusion!!! 10/10 recommend everything about this series.

I'm obsessed with Lor and Nadir's relationship and their lovely found family.

I will read EVERYTHING that Nisha writes.

While I loved the entire series and felt connected to Lor and Nadir, Tale of the Heart Queen was harder for me to stay focused on. I still really enjoyed the story and the ending was satisfying but it took me longer than I expected to get through it. All in all I give it four stars rounded up from 3.5. Love Nisha's writing style and look forward to continuing to support her in the future!

I absolutely loved this series! I stretched out reading the last book as long as I could because I just didn’t want it to end. And the whole soap and "I’m going to ruin you" coming full circle? EPIC. Definitely a series I’ll be rereading down the road. Cheers to "that b*tch took my soap!"

That was rough, which is unfortunate because I really enjoyed the beginning of this series. It slowly declined and was dragged out in book 3 and book 4 was not even necessary but I needed to know how it ended.

Too many new characters were introduced that weren’t necessary to further the plot; events were happening that didn’t even need to happen and were easily explained away after never being brought up in previous books; Lor never changed or went through a character arc through that whole series and sassy rage was just her personality by the end; the happy ending was all too convenient for the strife the characters went through the whole book…. At this point the final book could’ve been a standalone maybe from another POV and ended the series at book 3.

I’m bitter because I like recommending this first book but idk if I will recommend this series as a whole. This one was rough to get through.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an e-ARC of this novel. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

WOW! The Articles of Ouranos has been one of the most captivating fantasy series I’ve had the pleasure of reading. Tale of the Heart Queen concluded in a way that was nothing short of perfection. After four thrilling books, this series not only wraps up all the complex storylines but does so with a depth and emotional resonance that is hard to come by.

Throughout the four books, Lor and Nadir grow in ways that are authentic and often painful, as they face incredible challenges and unimaginable losses. But what truly stood out to me in this final book was how Nisha managed to tie up all the character arcs in such a satisfying and believable way. The split timelines were also very interesting, and it was intriguing to learn the true origin of the main conflicts of the series.

I strongly recommend this series to anyone who wants to jump into an interesting and complex world with incredible characters!

I wanted to love this book but I couldn’t get into it and the writing felt subpar on this one and the third book.

The first two books in the series were great so this was really disappointing!

I love this series as a whole, and Tale of the Heart Queen was a great conclusion to the story. Nadir and Lor’s journey has been incredible to follow, and I was so invested in them—I truly wanted things to work out for them. This book had so many twists and turns, and the finale was epic. I also loved the strong found family aspect, and the ending felt like the best possible way to wrap up the series.

That said, this book was much more plot-heavy than the previous ones, which made me feel less connected to the characters at times. Fate of the Sun King was my favorite because it felt so focused on their relationship, whereas here there was so much happening that the emotional depth between them didn’t hit quite as hard for me. The book was also significantly longer, and while I understand why with so many storylines needing to be wrapped up, I did feel like certain sections could have been trimmed without losing anything essential.

Still, I truly enjoyed this finale, and Lor remains such an incredible FMC. The journey throughout this series has been unforgettable, and while I wish this book had been slightly more character-driven, it was a satisfying, action-packed conclusion to an amazing series.

Unfortunately this book fell a little short for me. I absolutely devoured the previous three books in this series and was not sure if this book was even required in the series. I felt like the storytelling in this book was significantly different than the previous ones in the series and was rushed.

<i>’I can’t just go around blasting away everyone who pisses me off. A previous Lor might have done that, but I’m trying to be a better person.’</i>

I absolutely adore Lor, Nadir and their merry band of misfits and dreamers and am a bit sad this series has come to an end.
This conclusion was full of heart-aching pain, sadness, joy, fun and romance as the rest of the series and was such a good conclusion!
Although the packing onetime felt a bit off, Nisha had a lot of threads to tie up and she did a wonderful job.

If you ever want to write some short stories following the wonderful cast of characters you have created I would happily read them! These lot deserve a bit of chill and happiness after all they’ve been put through!

Wasn’t sure this book was 5/5 for me. I won’t lie I found my self very uninterested in this whole series and really tried to push through but I did have to dnf this book about halfway as I couldn’t take all the side information that goes on in this book

One of my most anticipated reads of the year! This series has been one for the books! Finally a diverse fantasy series that we all have been craving! Nisha concludes her Sun Queen story with tons of heart, adventure, spice and just left me so satisfied! I love Read Forever and know if they publish it, I will read it!

The long awaited finale and I was so ready. That's a lie, I wasn't. I have been so nervous for this for many reasons. 1. Because I hate finishing series I always get so sad. 2. It's been a bit. 3. I know Nisha is going to put us through the dang ringer. And she did!!! Dang woman. The first half of this book took me a little bit but then I was zooming. I'm so sad this series is over but what a fun one it was! I'm excited for more Tuli books this year!

I really wanted to like Tales of the Queen’s Heart, but it just didn’t live up to my expectations. The premise had potential, and there were a few moments of intrigue, but overall, the pacing was slow, and the characters felt underdeveloped. The writing style was decent, but the dialogue often felt forced, making it hard to connect with the story.

There were also some plot points that seemed rushed or underexplored, leaving me with more questions than answers. I kept hoping for a turning point that would draw me in, but it never quite delivered. While I can see how some readers might enjoy the world-building, it wasn’t enough to keep me engaged.

Unfortunately, this one just wasn’t for me.

First of all- a HUGE thank you to Nisha, her team, and NetGalley for allowing me access to an ARC copy of this book to review.

What a beautiful ending to a great series! It really felt like all of the loose ends were tied up and everyone ended where they were meant to be. Tyrs story was so heartbreaking and I was glad he could find peace by the end. Getting to see Lor and Nadir work in tandem and show just how connected they were through their mate bond this book was a highlight.

I recommend rereading previous books before getting into this one. I hadn’t read Fate since I first received it in March, and I had forgetten quite a few details that didn’t have refreshers in this book. I spent the first third of the book going back and forth to remind myself!

I loved the callback to Trial by forcing Lor and Nadir into Herric’s games, but I wish there had been more interaction or knowledge of him prior to them running into the Underworld. Having Lor unaware of Rion’s true motives until the end of the book was disjointed and I wanted more time in the Underworld. Other than that, it was a perfect ending for me!!

I can’t wait to see what else comes from Nisha in the future ❤️

Did I go back and re read the first three books in this series while waiting for this book, you bet I did and I don't regret a moment.

This book was chef's kiss of an ending to an amazing book series that had so many twist and turns I didn't want it to end, while also not knowing where it was going, in the best way.
