My Review- I am so sad to see this wonderful story come to end and still want more of this world. It follows right after the last book and you see Lor go through even more crazy things to become the Heart Queen, we learn more about other people's plans and see how everything comes together at the end. I do wish some of the side characters' side stories weren’t so long I felt they could have warp up in a few pages , now I do with Lor could’ve talk to her grandmother like she talk to other people in this book I so wanna to see that conversation. The ending was great and I am sad and want more of them.

Wonderful conclusion to the series! I am so sad that this is now over 😭 Absolutely loved to see all the character growth within the last four books and will say that this was a very satisfying ending! There were a few parts that felt somewhat rushed to me and would have loved to see more! Overall so happy for being introduced to these characters and loved the wild ride since Trial of the Sun Queen!

What a wonderful ending to such a fun series! The character development book over book was just perfect. I loved seeing Lor really mature and step into her role. There are so many other great characters who really shone with their actions but I don’t want to give any spoilers. Overall I couldn’t say enough amazing things about this book and series!

Just when you think Lor has been through enough…. there’s more. It all culminates to an epic HEA conclusion for this amazing series! Thanks for the amazing roller coaster ride Nisha J. Tuli! I can’t wait to read more from you.

What an ending to this amazing journey. Experiencing all the characters as they grew, following the storyline that was action packed and incredibly engaging; such a wild ride, culminating in a truly memorable experience. I am heartbroken that this series has come to an end, I will be reminiscing about this for a very long time. Another great series I wish I could read again for the first time, but will have to settle for rereading in the future.

This book was a great ending to the series. I was on the edge of me seat multiple times and did yell out loud multiple times when reading this one lol. A couple of times I was not sure where or how we were going to end the book, but I do think it ended as it should have. I am sad this series is over but will be a series I will always remember

Wow. What an ending... I was on edge much of the book, but it was all worth it. Highly recommend this book and series!

As usual Nisha knocks it out of the park! An amazing conclusion to an absolutely top-tier romantasy series.

I loved the series from the minute I picked up Trial of the Sun Queen and read "That bitch took my soap". I didn't want the series to end, but Nisha wrapped it up perfectly albeit a bit predictably. My only complaint is that it felt a little long--there were a few times I was upset with the pacing.

I loved the characters, it made me cry, I'm sad the journey is over.

Tale of the Heart Queen by Nisha J. Tuli wraps up the series in a way that’s exactly as expected—entertaining, but not groundbreaking. This final installment ties up all the loose ends nicely, leaving no major plot threads hanging, which was satisfying. It’s the kind of book (and series) that’s easy to read, highly enjoyable, and perfect for escapism, even if it doesn’t leave a lasting impression.
Lor and Nadir’s relationship is the standout element, carrying much of the emotional weight and making the series fun to follow. The addition of Rion’s POV in this book was another highlight, giving a deeper look into his motivations, though I wish more characters had been given the same level of attention. Many of the side characters felt underdeveloped, and even the main cast didn’t experience much growth over the course of the series.
While the story was consistently engaging, some moments, like the spice scenes, felt oddly timed—breaking the flow of higher-stakes moments. The series overall is enjoyable, but it doesn’t quite measure up to the depth or impact of stronger romantasy series.
That said, this is a “just for fun” kind of read. If you’re looking for lighthearted escapism, it’s a solid pick. It may not be entirely memorable, but it’s undeniably entertaining

Thanks to NetGalley and Forever publishing for this e-ARC that I chose to read and review

Rating: 5/5
I received an eARC for my honest opinion.

Wow, I was really sad that this would be the last book, but let me tell you it was wrapped up so nicely that I wasn’t sad at all and just so happy to see all the pieces of this series come together. In this book you will go on an adventure with Lor and Nadir, they’re fighting for their lives and the lives of all the people that they love. Will they be able to defeat the Aurora King, who is Nadir’s father and Zerra, a vengeful goddess who has her known alternative motives. Will Lor and Nadir, along with their family and friends be able to overcome all the obstacles and have a life that they all have wanted.

I loved how complex this plot was, with all the multiple rulers, the goddess and all the villains in the book. I loved that we got to see the past and how things all got ruined and how now the future rulers can fix things if they work together. You will see the beautiful writing that Tuli does in her complex worlds and how in the books you will never get an info dump but you will love the writing throughout the book and feel as though you’re in the world with the characters. You will find twists and turns throughout the plot and when you think you might have it another plot twist comes up. I did find myself going through an emotional roller coaster but in all the best ways; I went from being sad to happy, scared to filled with joy and I can’t say that I am disappointed that Lor and Nadir story has come to an end.

I found that the characters in this book did a great job in developing. I loved that you will see their flaws, but then you will see how they fought to get back what they had and what they want for their lives in their next chapter. I liked that it wasn’t just the main characters that had growth but even the side characters. I loved getting to see Willow, Gabriel, Tyr, Amya and Tristan all have growth and to see their story come to an end as well, but still left open to maybe just maybe a spin off story. One can hope lol. I loved seeing everyone come together to fight off the true evil and leave behind all other hurt feelings and just focused on the future of the realm after defeating the real evil. I loved that in this book you will see a love story that has had to fight tooth and nail to overcome so much and to see their HEA. They deserve it! I loved that you will find tropes like: found family in this book, strong FMC and a great morally gray MMC, fated mates and chosen one in this book series.

If you haven’t read any of Tuli books you’re 100% mising out on amazing romantasy books. You will fall in love with her attention to details and all the amazing characters.

I want to thank NetGalley and Grand Central publishing for the opportunity to review this book.

This was such a stressful, heartwrenching, fantastic end to one of my favorite series 🥲🥲🥲 I love these characters so much. I can’t believe it went from I’m gonna tie you to my bed because I don’t trust you, to this. And that soap 🙌🏼

Where to start? I'm sad that this series has come to an end but I enjoyed how it came together. I found the first half pretty hard to get through. I just wanted you know who out of you know where. It was really cool to get understanYd Rion more with his POV. The author tries to redeem him a little in the end but he just isn't redeemable in my opinion. Not after everything he did. I found the climax to be a little lackluster with what Lor had to go through. The way they wrap up the big bad was pretty quick and clean which I found a little unbelievable. What I loved most about this book though was Lor and Nadir's love. I absolutely love them together and it was great to be with them one last time. Overall, I enjoyed this one and I'm glad I got to see the end for these characters.

Thank you to the author and Forever Pub for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I have loved every book in this series and I'm so happy with how it came to a conclusion! I was slightly concerned after the way book 3 ended that we would spend this one with Lor and Nadir separated until the very end and am happy to report that is not the case!!!

We see lots of growth for both Lor and Nadir but also our side characters like Gabriel, Lor's siblings, and Nadir's father. I think Nisha really tied everything up nicely in a way that felt complete and satisfying. I also love that Lot didn't have to lose all of her power just to save everyone like so many other books.

What an amazing end to a terrific series. Lor's story of redemption and revenge had me intrigued throughout all four books. Her development and growth were everything you want to read about and more.
This book and series will always be highly recommend by me!

Tale of the Heart Queen was an emotional and action packed story full of drama. Exciting fantasy characters pulling me in as the reader and being drawn into this world. I enjoyed myself!

Reviews

Thank you Netgalley and Forever Publishing for my EARC!


I started reading this series last year around the same time and was truly obsessed with every minute of it! It definitely does not disappoint at all!

You have Lor who has been through the worst of the worst to only discover she has to go through even more because she has to save the world of Ouranos and she may have to give up her life for it

All the main characters had extreme growth from the very first chapter to the end i think one of my favorites was Gabriel his POV was so well written and so raw!

The plot was good I do say this is where i rate the book 4 stars so much was reiterated and retold it got a little murky following the plot and staying the course it began so strongly for 200 pages then it seemed something going on with Lor and Nadir were over explained and repeated this could just be what the ARC had and not the finished copy. It ended quite strongly and made me cry twice 🥲

Over all ifs a great series so entertaining i love this author with all my heart! I will miss reading Lors story greatly ♥️

Absolutely loved!! This Series keeps me in a chokehold and I cannot get enough of it. It continuously surprises me and thus ending I was not ready for.

Lor faces impossible odds as she races to save the continent of Ouranos, grappling with her growing desperation and the haunting fear of repeating her grandmother’s mistakes. With the Aurora King and a new enemy closing in, she must navigate deadly trials in the Underworld, where the fate of everyone not just her freedom hangs in the balance.

Tales of the Heart Queen is the final book in the Artefacts of Ouranos series. This can’t be read as a standalone. I had mixed feelings about this installment. First, the book did not need to be over 600 pages. It could have easily been trimmed to 300-400 pages without losing its impact. The writing style leaned heavily on “telling” rather than “showing,” as it did in the previous book which I found frustrating. The pacing was extremely slow at the beginning, making it hard to stay engaged. While there were plenty of spicy scenes, they felt out of place and seemed added just to check a box so I ended up skimming them. I also found myself less invested in the characters compared to earlier in the series. The multiple POVs were interesting, particularly Rion, Lor, and Nadir, but I struggled to see the purpose of Gabriel’s perspective. On a positive note, the audiobook narrators did a great job bringing the story to life. However, using the same narrator for Rion and Nadir was a missed opportunity as distinct voices would have made their chapters more effective. Unfortunately, the ending was disappointing. I found the villain felt underdeveloped and the resolution was rushed. Overall, this was my least favorite book in the series. I generously gave it 3 stars.

The fourth and final installment of this series wraps up all the plot elements from the previous three books and culminates in an epic ending for all of our favorite (and not-so-favorite) characters. I loved this book and the pages flew by for me. One of the main focuses of this book (other our crew saving the world and Lor becoming the much-awaited Heart Queen) is Lor's character and her relationship with others. Over the series, we see Lor blossom into a rich and multi-faceted woman. This book really solidifies how much she has grown and changed throughout the series. We see more scenes with Lor's family in this book, which I really enjoyed. We also see how the kingdoms pull together to work toward a common goal. While there are a lot of elements to this plot, everything wrapped together well and I'm happy with the ending. Thanks to the publishers and Netgalley for providing me with an advanced readers copy of this book.
