WOW. What a gut punch. A tour de force. Nisha J. Tuli has woven this final tale expertly. I love how much the world has expanded from the original book 1 bachelor hunger games. It’s like a totally different series now.

The writing has gotten better in each book. My heart was pounding from page one and there was nonstop adventure the whole book. Expect lots of action and some swoon-worthy moments too. I absolutely loved the final twist.

I highly recommend this series to fantasy romance lovers. Even if you thought book 1 wasn’t the most original… keep reading. It goes in a much different direction from what you expect.

I’m so grateful to Forever for the advance copy. Now on to book 3 of this author’s other series!

What an epic ending to a series that we have all been eagerly waiting for! I was ready for the ending, but I wasn't. This story took us on a journey that had us in all the feels. Definitely an amazing series and can't wait to see what she writes next.

I loved how this book wrapped it. She gave us closure on everyone, including the side characters. I really loved that because most authors ignore side characters and I’m always trying to figure out what happened to them.

I loved the FMC growth and how she did fight for everyone she loved and everything she wanted and she didn’t care. She didn’t back down from wanting what she wants and how she got it. But she was willing to sacrifice herself for the better of the world if it came to it but not wanting to.

My fave character is Gabriel. He had a lot of growth and scenes that made me want more. I’m glad he got almost what he wanted but he’s content now.


This has always been my fave series!

5 stars is not enough. 10 wouldn't be enough! I am quite sad that Lor and Nadir's story is over, but what a way to end the series! I love Nisha's writing and look forward to more from her in the future.

This was the perfect book to wrap up one of my favorite series ever! Nisha’s writing is what made me fall in love with the series to begin with and this book is no exception. I love how both our FMC and MMC can stand on their own, but they are truly better together. I couldn’t have asked for a better ending to the series! Now I just need some novellas about our favorite side characters. Thank you to NetGalley and Forever publishing for the ARC copy of this book.

How have we already reached the end? From our humble soap beginnings to reaching the final pages, I must say that this is one of my FAVORITE series. Lor from day 1 has been sassy and strong but being able to see her vulnerable sides-especially in this book-has been such a treat. She is a character with layers, and I've loved getting to see the different sides of Lor. AND NADIR. Ugh, he has a chokehold on my heart that will never waiver. This dynamic duo with their flirty banter never gets old. The multiple POVs wove in several different storylines beautifully while keeping the pace moving in a longer book. The ending of this series is simply perfection. I am sad that the series is over but cannot wait for my first reread of the entire series when I get a physical copy to put on my shelf!

The finale we all wanted! Tale of the Heart Queen kept me on the edge of my seat, wanting more and more. This entire series has been captivating, with one book after the other exceeding all expectations. If you are new to Nisha J. Tuli or are unsure of whether you should read this series, let me just tell you....it's one of the best romantasy books you'll ever read.

This is the perfect conclusion to the story. I laughed, I cried, I had all of the emotions I wanted. My only problem is that now I want a story for the siblings and Gabriel lol. I really feel like all of my questions from through out the series was answered, which I really appreciated. You could also really see the three siblings break through their shells and their personalities really came out.

First of all, I am absolutely devastated this series is over. Tale of the Heart Queen by Nisha J. Tuli was a good end to the series. This review has been posted to Amazon and Good Reads. I would love for the author to continue writing a spin off with the siblings perhaps because all of the characters through out the series were so wonderful.

The ending of the book felt a little rushed and I wished it would have been more detailed about what happens after the HEA. I loved how at the end it felt like it came back around from the very first book and her siblings finally show more of their sense of humor. Great book, just wished there were a few more chapters at the end detailing what came after.

This book series - it took over my personality, I was telling everyone I knew about it and got two friends to read it so it worked haha. From start to finish of Tale, it had a hold on me. I read it slowly so I could savor it because I didn’t want it to end, but once I read the last page and it ended, I felt so complete. It was a wonderful end to the series, it answered everything we had questioned at the end of Fate of the Sun King, and it made me question the almost redeeming chapters of Rion, but he can still go suck a troll’s toe for all he did. I loved the ride this book took us on. I cheered, I cried, I laughed. I fell in love with the “one last time before we go into battle” trope because of how well she did it. Lor and Nadir will have such a spot in my heart now that I will be revisiting often. And like Lor, I too am a ball of chaos and wouldn’t have it any other way.

Thank you Nisha and team for the arc, and thank you Nisha for the world and characters.

I can admit that I’m a little sad this series is over I’ve really enjoyed the journey Nisha took us on for this series!

In this epic conclusion all your questions get answered and the ending is really well done. Lor finds herself on so many adventures and running to beat villains known and unknown. So many of your favorite characters from the series are back to join forces to help Lor in her pursuit of saving her people.

I think the ending is satisfying and we get everything Nisha promised us. However, this book felt markedly different. It felt like maybe there was just one too many storylines being wrapped up and the book was significantly longer than all the rest so sometimes the pacing felt slower than the first 3 books.

Overall I still think it’s a fun and epic conclusion to the series as a whole but I felt, just a little, disappointed compared to the first 3 novels.

Thanks to Forever for the early e-ARC!

“I will follow you to the very end.”

TLDR: I highly recommend this entire series, it’s such a wild ride!
Rating: 5/5
Spice level: 2/5

My God. This series. These characters. This world. It’s all so beautiful.

Plot: From the first book to the last, this story is unique, action packed, fast-paced with so many twists and turns.

Characters: Lor is an incredibly badass female main character. I love Nisha's writing when it comes to the development and depth of Lor. She isn’t always good, doesn’t always make good decisions, and at times has questionable morals, all driven by her love for her family and friends. You read her growth since the first book, where she’s volatile and full of rage, unable to process her trauma, to this strong, determined, powerful woman. She’s a heroine with flaws, which makes the journey so much more relatable.

Nadir is also an extremely well-written male main character. He provides the perfect counterpart in an enemies-to-lovers dynamic. I absolutely loved having his POV, they were often my favourite chapters. His inner conflict, his desire to do good in a bad situation, and his love for Lor was captivating to read.

The side characters are also such a delight. Gabriel quickly became my favourite, but every character brought an element to the story and felt like they had purpose.

Spice: The last book is light on spice in comparison to the second and third, which will either upset or make some people happy. They are explicit open-door scenes, well-written, and well paced throughout the story.

Cons: There aren’t very many cons for this book, but one thing I struggled with is when there were more POV’s, I sometimes struggled to keep track of who knew what information, which was important in a couple scenes.

I am so sad that this series is over, but I can’t wait to talk about it come November. Nisha, thank you for bringing Lor into my life, for writing such a beautiful story of hope, love, and overcoming the hard stuff that happens to you.

I'm new to book reviews, but let me tell you, this is one that I'm so happy to write. I'm new on my reading journey and the Trial of the Sun Queen series quickly became one of my favorites and one of my consistent recommendations to others. I flew threw the first two, eagerly awaited Fate of the Sun King, and was besides myself waiting for Tale of the Heart Queen. Nisha J. Tuli took her readers on a beautiful journey with deep character exploration and discovery. After the cliffhanger of FotSK, I really had no idea how she would wrap up this story, and boy did she deliver. I was locked in from page 1, feeling relief, panic, pain (from biting my nails), surprise, shock, and everything in between. It was a perfect conclusion to an incredible series. Thank you to Nisha, her team, and all of the rad folks in her FB group for a chance to read this ARC.

Final books in a series can be scary, but I went into this one knowing Nisha would nail it and she did! I love this series with my whole heart and this was truly the perfect ending. I can't wait to go back and read the whole series again from the beginning!

An absolutely wonderful conclusion to an amazing series. Nisha J. Tuli has woven an incredibly complex story of magic, politics, secrets, betrayal, heartbreak, love, family and strength and has wrapped up the end of the series beautifully. I could not put the book down - I read it in 2 days! The more I read of Lor and Nadir the more I loved the story. The found family in the series is wonderful as well - all of the supporting characters were fleshed out a little more and we got more insight into them with expanded POV chapters which was such a nice addition. The callback to chapter 1 of Trial of the Sun Queen was so good. Thank you Netgalley for the ARC!

This book was a great ending, to one of my favorite series of the year. The story was engaging and wrapped up all of the storylines. Nisha never disappoints in her writing. The spice level of this book definitely upped the ante from the rest of the series and I loved what it added to this story!

Thank you NetGalley and Forever for early access to the close of Lor and Nadir's story with an eArc!

A great conclusion from a new classic fantasy series. No spoilers, but fully wraps up storylines for all the main and side characters. Even another that bitch stole my soap reference!

5⭐️2🌶️ let’s just state that anything Nisha writes is five star. I absolutely love this author. Tale of the Heart Queen was an amazing conclusion to the series. It wrapped up everything so nice and neatly in the end. There was so much action and adventure within this story but it flowed so well. I truly was happy with the ending of this series, and will forever love Lor and Nadir’s love story.

A satisfying ending for both Lor and the reader. I laughed, cried, and internally screamed in frustration on my way to a promised HEA.
