I took forever to read this book, because I was just not ready for the series to end. I’ve been so invested in this series since book one, and this was a fantastic conclusion! I think it had the perfect balance of romance and fantasy, with plenty of action and drama mixed in. I loved the multiple POVs and timelines, which provided backstory and context to what was happening. Lor’s determinedness and strength continued to shine through, and her relationship with Nadir grew even stronger than before. This one did feel a bit longer than the others in the series, but I really appreciated how all of the plot lines were neatly wrapped up. The ending was beautifully written and it truly feels like the series is complete.

Thank you to Forever and NetGalley for the ARC!

I enjoyed the first three books in the series immensely. This last book fell a bit short for me because it felt like it kept dragging on where the plot wasn’t as captivating anymore. However, I did still enjoy the ending, and the characters hold a special place in my heart.

Wow, I don’t even know where to begin! This series gave me everything I needed a more. It’s bittersweet knowing my favorite characters stories are now done but what an incredible way to close out! Tale of the Heart Queen did not let up on the action and intensity for a second. Higher stakes, fiercer battles, and intense emotions…I devoured this book in a day! There’s not much to say without giving some significant spoilers so I will just comment that this was the absolute best ending to a fantastic series/story. I have my closure and my HEA and I couldn’t be more pleased with how Nisha Tuli ended this series

I am so content with the end of Lor’s story. The way it came full circle with another trial was an added amazing touch. I loved this series!

Tale of the Heart Queen by Nisha J. Tuli Book Review

Star rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
Spice rating: 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Genre: Fantasy/Romance
Series: Artefacts of Ouranos - Book #4
Tropes: Enemies to Lovers, Fated Mates, Chosen One, Found Family

I can't believe it's over. I will admit I am sad I cannot read about Lor and Nadir anymore but that means the author has done something right. This series is s perfect blend of fantasy and romance, Tale of the Heart Queen pulls everything together from the rest of the series and answers the millions of questions we had. Every characters story felt complete and Nisha tied up every loose end.

Thank you to Nisha and Forever Publishing for gifting me a copy. All thoughts and opinions are my own. *ARC provided to me via NetGalley in exchange of an honest review*

wowowoowo I tore through this series in about 2 weeks... utterly obsessed. Romantasy fans, def check this one out. A great cast of characters, lots of drama and so much steam. Highly recommend, I couldn't put this book down.

Ugh I’m not ready for this series to be over but I am so so happy with how it ended! Lor and Adir will have a special place in my heart always! I absolutely loved this book and how it wrapped up

Amazing conclusion to AN amazing series… enough said!! Definitely a 5 star read for me. I will be living anything written by Nisha in the future!

LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SERIES!! I recommend it if you are into slow burn enemies to lovers, Fae, magic. This series progressed so well. Lor is a well written character who overcomes every obstacle thrown her way and kicks ass doing it! This book deserves 10 stars!

What a perfect conclusion to a FABULOUS series!! Thank you so much for the opportunity to read Tale of the Heart Queen early!

So to be honest, I typically read a full series back to back - I read fast and have no life - anyways a 4 book series would usually take me about 4 days (1 per book). I like the be fully immersed in the series/book I'm reading and any time apart takes me out of it. I started this series not realizing only books 1 & 2 were available on K.U. As a disabled reader, I'm broke so I can't just buy books and rely heavily on K.U. So it took me about 2 weeks to read this series and I loved the first two books but, the spacing between reading took me out of it and left me feeling somewhat lost. In the end I feel I didn't enjoy it as much as I would have had I been able to read it the way that works best *for me*. That said, I did love this series and I hope to eventually reread it in a few years and maybe I'll be able to enjoy it more reading it in full.

Overall, so much happens in the series that is almost felt like two different books being read. Mostly between book 1 and the others. I adored the Deadly Bridal Trials and I'll die on the hill that I wish Nadir's POV was not given to us in book 1 because it made it fairly obvious he was going to be the MMC and Atlas was not who he portrayed himself to be. I feel it would've had more impact had we fallen for Atlas alongside Lor and been just as betrayed as she had been. I also truly wish we got a few POV chapters for him at some point. Just to get some idea of why he was the way he was, what was going through his mind etc.

I was happy getting to know Gabe more, I loved him in book 1. I was happy with everyone's ending - especially Tyr's. I was pleasantly surprised on how much I enjoyed Rion's ending as well. Sometimes, the best ending for a villain is them to self reflect..which doesn't happen often and I really enjoyed that. I loved that Nadir got his apology and that jim and Lor forgave Rion in the end for themselves and their happiness.

Nadir was the one consistant thing in this book that I loved beyond all reason. He was perfect. His bleeding heart that he hid behind, the amount of love, loyalty, respect, and patience he showed to and gave Lor was everything. He always understood her without her having to say anything and while I hated that, even up to the end, he still felt undeserving of her - I hope in their Universe he does find peace within himself and realizes he's the only one who does deserve her.

Lor grew so much through the story and I admired her perserverence and strength despite everthing thrown at her. She could come across niave and brash, too trusting then not trusting enough but, I loved watching her work through her traumas to be the fierce Queen she was capable of.

My final rating for the overall series is probably a atrong 3.5. I truly do believe one day when I reread it the way I need to I'l rate it higher. I don't think 3.5 is bad for me. It's super close to a 4. I just got taken out of the story too much for me to feel comfortable rating it higher. Qhich again, that's on me and my fault for not researching eniugh about the series.

I would recommend this series though to others. 💖

A thrilling conclusion to an action-packed ride of a series! I enjoyed the series overall and I really think that this was the ending the series needed!

The found family and relationships were fantastic in this series and I love that they were able to learn from their history to make better choices for their futures.

I think this will be a series I recommend to others who are interested in an epic Romantasy series!

There were a few things I wasn’t sure about, trying to explain without spoilers, Rion’s arc didn’t evolve how I imagined it might. I also was trying desperately to hold onto all the details of all the missions they had to accomplish and sometimes forgot why they needed to do certain things. That’s mostly a failing on my part because I paused the book when I was starting to stress about the series ending and losing my connection to these characters, but I just can’t remember why they had to destroy the arks in the first place. In the end, it played out well and I enjoyed every minute!

Thank you Netgalley for an arc of the Tale of the Heart Queen. This book was a fantasy read and I enjoyed it. I also thought the picture of the cover was really pretty. This book I believe is part of a series. I rated it 4 stars and I would recommend reading it.

As someone that has been struggling with first person POV this year, and usually reads fantasy books via audio, let me just say that I read the whole Artefacts of Ouranos series with my EYES. That's how well written this novel, and this series is.

I have no notes. Just that it was a good conclusion to the series, and really liked how everything worked out for everyone. Very excited to read the author's contemporary novel when it becomes available.

I truly enjoyed this series so much. I think it might be one of my favorite series. As for the official review, I do believe it was little longer than needed but at the same time, I needed more because I wasn’t ready to leave this fantasy world. Maybe less recaps for what happened earlier and wrap up. With that being said, it’s still 5stars for me and I loved it soooo much. You are an amazing author and this book completed such a great series.

This was so so good. Such a perfect ending to a phenomenal series. This series had me captivated from book one and this ending was just… chefs kiss. Lor and Nadir are definitely one of my favorite book couples, and the twist at the end was amazing. I loved seeing the growth of Lor and watching her overcome her hardships and finding her family. 5/5 stars!

Thank you NetGalley and Forever Pub for sending me a copy of this book!

I truly loved this series! The first two books especially hooked me in. For Tale of The Heart Queen, I alternated between reading and listening to the audiobook and absolutely loved the audio version! The voice actors were phenomenal and really encompassed the characters perfectly.

Tale of The Heart Queen was a wonderful ending to a great series! I loved being able to see more of Lor by herself and embracing her destiny. She’s a strong, independent woman who grew so much in this series! I appreciate that the story was more than just a romance between Lor and Nadir. There are elements of personal growth, family (and found family!), romance, magic, and so much more.

The challenges and trials Lor faced in this book kept me on my toes and anxiously anticipating the outcomes! Overall, I liked this book and appreciate the hard work the author put into building this unique world!

Oofta. I loved the first book in this series and wanted the series to end with a bang. But this book was so long. It could have easily been split into 2 books and better kept my attention as Lor was learning about the Evanescence vs destroying the artifacts. However, I felt the underworld trials and Rions POV were mostly unnecessary and realistically it could have been half as long and packed a bigger punch. Idk. Overall I wasn’t impressed.

I received an advance review copy for free from the publisher via Netgalley (THANK YOU) and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Nisha you are my Queen! I loved the ending to the Artifacts of Ouranos series-as much as I didn't want it to be over-it was wrapped up so well. I loved every moment of Nadir and Lor's relationship, and it even grew stronger and hotter in the final book. Gabriel's story was given the conclusion it deserved. I loved learning about Lor's siblings, especially Tristan! This series will be one I compare future fantasy/romantasy books to, it will be re-read.

It takes one heck of an author to stick a solid landing on ending a series and Nisha J. Tuli did just that! What a phenomenal way to conclude such and amazing story.
