Firstly, I am still SHOOKETH that I got accepted for the arc for this book so thank you SO much to Nisha J Tuli & Orbit UK for giving me access to this impeccable book.

LIGHTNING BUG *screaming*

If you follow me on booksta or are in Facebook reader groups with me you'll have seen me gushing about this book for over a year now so it's no surprise that this was another 5* read for me. I am so beyond in love with Lor, Nadir, Gabriel and the entire world of Ouranos.

Even though its been a good maybe year? Since I last read the first 2 books in the series, it was easy enough to pick up where I left off. The tension between Lor and Nadir was higher than ever and oh so delicious. And yes.. they really do bang in this one! And let me tell you, the wait was entirely worth it. I wanted to cry at Nadirs absolute worship of Lor, she is the start and end of his entire universe and I love me an obsessed Prince.

I was so happy to receive and ARC of this book!

Absolutely loved it! Loved spending more time with some of my favourite characters and having some characters from the first book back and learning more about them.

I can't wait for the next book!

We dive back into Lor and Nadir’s world with the next instalment in the Ouranos series, which offers more insight into the Gods and their powers, and how that translates to the modern day powers of the Primaries. The same gang are together still, so there’s lots of familiar names in this one, and a few more secrets are also revealed along the way. It did feel a little like a filler book, as for its length it was more that lots of minor things happened rather than the plot moving along significantly and so perhaps I would have liked to see it sped up a little bit. That being said, it was good to explore Lor and Nadir’s relationship more and for them to spend more time together and to see as well how Lor’s relationships with her siblings are changing with their new environment. This ends with a cliffhanger and I’m looking forward to picking the series back up in the next book and getting some answers!

I received a free copy of this book. All views are my own.

We are finally back! (Waiting for next book is a hassle no matter if it’s a week or a year😅)

If you’ve already read the first two books; all you need to know is that it’s still going strong! 🤩If not, then you really need to do so!

This is, and continues to be, one of my favorite series. In this book we are delving deeper into the history of both Lot and Ouranos🤩 I love how the story is evolving, the side characters, world building and everything!

It's no secret that I've loved everything Nisha has written since I was first introduced to her books.
I read the first two books in this series in as many days and have been impatiently awaiting Fate of the Sun King since last year. Nisha did not disappoint with this absolute masterpiece of a book. It gripped me as much as the first two and had a few twists I did not expect or see coming. But that ending! Nisha, that ending is not ok - how am I supposed to wait until November to find out what happens after that? It's safe to say that this series is continuing in just as amazing a way as it started. I very much enjoyed getting to see and learn more about Gabriel, it helped flesh his character out. He's a lot more three dimensional in this book than he was in the previous two books. I'm already excited for the next installment, even if I have another 6 months to wait.
If you've not read Trial of the Sun Queen yet, you need to get on that ASAP - you won't be disappointed.

Fate of the Sun King
Nisha J. Tuli
Released 6 June 2024
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5/5

I was lucky enough to get an ARC copy of Fate of the Sun King and could not wait to read it!

I read the first two books in the series last year and have been waiting for what feels like FOREVER for this one. Luckily it did not disappoint!

I really enjoyed the progression of the story, the twists and turns, the character growth (found family!) and the multiple POVs (especially Gabriel’s!)

The reallly slowww slow burn really paid off in this one 🔥

I appreciated hearing the history of Ouranos and the story of the past rulers (although a few times I just wanted to skip to the current day goings on!) It helped with the world building overall, I feel I understand the world better now that we know more of its past and politics.

BUT WHAT THE… That ending… 👀😭 Man… I cannot wait to find out what happens now! Guess I’m waiting to see if I’m lucky enough to get an ARC for book 4! (Pretty please!)

Great series overall. Love it! Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review. Much appreciated!

Really! How could you!

This series has been very special in my heart ever since the first book. The story, the characters, I love it all.

This was a fantastic follow-up to the first two books.
It was an agonising slow-burn filled with action, adventure, tension, lust, and heartbreak.

The dual POV added so many more layers to the story. It felt like the side characters we shining through a lot more in this book. And we got a lot of the backstory from most characters.

Previous questions were answered, and more questions arose, awaiting answers.

I absolutely loved this book, I can't wait until the next one.
Is it November yet?

The pacing of this series is so enjoyable, I love how the author feeds us new information each book and it doesnt feel slow or overwhelming.

Lor is a fantastic FMC and the revelations she experiences this book is a wild ride. Nadir has grown on me and I love his willingness to put Lor first, that really shines through in this book.

This book steps it up with betrayal, backstory, SPICE and secrets revealed. The ending has my heart in a vice ngl and I cannot wait for book 4 😭.

Really enjoyed this book and loved seeing Nadir and Lor’s relationship finally bloom after the juiciest slow burn of the first two books. Lots of action, back story and character development in this book and it pays off! Another belter!

I first picked up Trial of the Sun Queen last year and immediately became obsessed. Luckily the second book was already out and I devoured that too. Since then it has felt a long wait to find out what happens next!

I love Lor and Nadir, and there's no shortage of their story because the book is told from their POV's the majority of the time. Although there is background POV's and also we find out more from Gabriel's side! And I surprisingly came to love his chapters. It explained so much about his character and I'm definitely rooting for him too.

I'm glad there was multiple POV chapters to drive the plot in this book because a certain couple mostly had one thing on their minds👀🐇🐰 (I'm not mentioning names but this really isn't a spoiler anyway, as the author mentions it straight away in her dedication. Plus it's been a long time coming, right?😅)

But the biggest thing on my mind is THAT CLIFFHANGER! How could you do this to us, Nisha? What is going on?!😭

I'm so glad we only need to wait until November for answers!

Thank you to Little, Brown Book Group UK, Orbit and the author for the review copy, provided in exchange for an honest opinion.

Before I even begin, huge, huge thanks to Orbit, Little, Brown Book Group UK and Netgalley for the arch of Fate of the Sun King by Nisha J Tuli – I have been waiting for what feels like a fae age for this next book in the series to be released, and I promise this is as close as I get can to my most honest, not so sure about the unbiased as I loved the first two books in the series, review.
The first and huge positive for me was the glossary of characters at the start of the book, it was a great way to refresh my head about the events of books 1 and 2, and the tone and sheer humorous snark re aliving and un-aliving was just perfect!
Book 3 picks up immediately following the conclusion of book 2 and it was once again a story that just continues to flow, within a few pages I was back in Lor’s world, rooting for her to find a little happiness and maybe, just maybe see what becomes of her and Nadir…that slow burn has been a total killer!
Told from multiple PoVs, including Lor, Nadir and Gabriel to mention a few the story just became even more immersive and who knew about Gabriel?!? I certainly didn’t and I was whooping with the best of them at finally being able to get to know him better! Plus, the insights into the Royal world, in particular another perspective on Atlas, whose behaviour has been truly strange at points. I’m definitely on Team Gabriel now, no question.
In addition, Tuli does a fantastic job of weaving in the history of Ouranos and the artefacts – it was truly enlightening, and provided so much more context, plus adding another facet to the plot and all the shenanigans surrounding poor Lor! Another real positive of this book was the expansion of Lor’s inner circle, it was definitely a combination of family and found family, and I truly adored that, her relationship with her siblings was illustrated perfectly, and it reflected both Lor’s growth as an individual as she recovered from past trauma and their recovery too.
And of course, that slow burn. No question, book 3 definitely lives up to the spice and the development of the relationship between Lor and Nadir is truly heartwarming for the majority of the book. We finally get to see the fireworks between them be released and truly, it was wonderful to see such a wonderful thing happen for Lor, until that cliffhanger…
Of course Tuli couldn’t leave us with a happy ending, particularly as there is so much more of the story to tell. I truly am already yearning for the next book in the series. I have to know what happens to Lor and Nadir, will they defeat Atlas and the Aurora King, how will Gabriel and Tyr’s story play out, will there be a happy ending? I have so many questions but, I’m just going to have to wait!

Fate of the Sun King Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you to net galley and little brown books for this early arc and for the chance to review I have given Fate of the Sun King 5 stars I am absolutely blown away by this whole series so far but to say I’m broken after reading this 😩

It was brilliant completely and utterly brilliant absolutely ate it up the continuous world building and the different POVs throughout I just can’t with that ending I can’t believe it’s ended on such a cliff 😩 but overall absolutely fantastic loved every minute of it! I applaud you Nisha ♥️

Well… this series from the start has been 5 stars. But this book! WOW.

to say I need the next book now is an understatement.

I feel like I don’t know what to do with myself now. From the start this book had me gripped. What a book

I didn’t need my heart anyway

This was so good! A perfect mix of action and angst, the best aspects of books 1 and 2. I loved the flashbacks to the history which explained the lore so well. I absolutely loved the new characters and all the relationships between them. Nadir and Lor of course are the best and finally!!! Gabriel is so moody it makes me laugh but the serious backstory was so well thought out. Those last few chapters had me on my toes and I do not know how I am going to last until the next book. One of the most gripping series I've read in a while.

Fate Of The Sun King is the third installment of Artefacts of Ouranos. It follows Lor and friends on her quest to unlock her magic and discover the secrets of the Heart Crown. Written in first and third person, with multiple POVs.

The world building is amazing, producing amazing imagery and a real sense of the world. I really enjoy the writing style and the way it captures the characters feelings and reactions.

This was such a great book that explained a lot but also left me with more questions. I really liked the pace and the way the story developed. As well as the characters and their individual development.

That ending was amazing and everything I could have hoped for. I'm so excited for the next book.

Words cannot even express how absolutely mind-blowing this book was. From start to finish the book Just. Didn't. Stop.

Quite honestly I probably need therapy now I mean damn Nisha I didn't need my heart anyway just take it I guess.

But to recite an infamous quote I don't need sleep I need answers so...next book please? 😂

THANK YOU NETGALLEY for providing me of an eARC of this beautiful book.

I adore this series so so much - WHAT A RIDE, and let's just start off with WHAT WAS THAT ENDING. Holy Moly. I am honestly ITCHING for the next instalment because how could you do us dirty leaving it where you did.

I loved the ride, I loved the character development, I loved the growth of the story, the unravelling of the world. The different POV's - I loved the flashbacks with different characters. I honestly just loved it all.

I loved seeing Lor and Nadir in another light, I can't wait to find out what happens next and I really hope we get to see more of Tristian and his progression, there feels like a lot of foreshadowing for this at least.

I'm diving straight back in for a re-read because nothing is good enough to grab my attention after that cliffhanger!

There is a glossary of characters at the beginning, which is really helpful if you haven’t read the previous novels in a long time. The story starts right where we left in book 2.
Just like book 1 & 2, the writing just flows, and the pace is good. You barely started to read that you are already 250 pages in, that’s how easy it is written.

In this third installment, we have Nadir and Lor’s POV, Gabriel’s POV, someone else’s POV and other past characters ones. I loved that we got all those new POVs, it was really interesting.
What I loved the most about Fate Of The Sun King was Gabriel’s POV, being able to get to know him better; what are his motivations, what does he like, does he like someone, why does he accept Atlas’s behavior… I was curious, about him, and I really hope we will get more of him in the final book. I found his story and someone else linked to him heartbreaking and can only hope that it will get better for them.

We get answers about: Atlas’s motivations, on how the world work, about the goddess … A lot of questions are answered, but at the end of the book you have so many new ones.
During most of the book their fight against The Aurora King took a break as they needed to get answers and resources to be able to confront him.

As much as this was easy to read and a nice sequel, I felt like non-much was going on in Nadir and Lor’s POV, action wise. I think this book was about Lor finding herself and getting stronger. She has locked her magic as well as her heart for so many years, now letting her emotions out and process her traumas allow her to show a vulnerable side of her personality in this book.
She is still the strong-headed FMC that we know and since she has her family back and strong allies she gets more confident.
Nadir is still a strong support for Lor while she confronts her traumas and he is still obsessed, possessive with her.

Lor wants to keep her distance with Nadir after the end of book 1 because she has her own demons to fight. But when she accepts her feelings and their bond it felt rushed; in the blink of an eye she became/was utterly obsessed with him. We know that she had feelings for him before, but the transition between « I need to keep my distance » and « he’s the love of my life » was a bit too brutal.

It ends on a cliffhanger and will leave you with your heart reaped out of your chest. I already have my theories on what is going to happen. I can’t wait to see how it’s going to play out in the end. I’m rooting for Gabriel’s happy ending, even if I’m not sure that it is possible.
New challenges are coming their way, and their fight with The Aurora King might come to an end.

I received an ARC copy in return of an honest review. Thank you, Nisha J. Tuli and NetGalley, for this ARC of Fate Of The Sun King.

❤️‍🔥Fate of the Sun King - Nisha J Tuli ❤️‍🔥

When I say I squealed when I received this ARC it would be no word of a lie as it was one of my most anticipated reads of 2024 (along with book 4 out in Nov).

Fate of the Sun King is the third book in the Ouranos series and like the others this book sucked me in and held me hostage in this magical fantasy world.

The multiple POV and timelines work seamlessly whilst the plot thickens around Lor’s heritage and future. There are many fantasy series out there but this one truly stands out to me and would be perfect for lovers of fantasy and slow burn. I am being purposely vague so not to ruin the plot of book 1 & 2.

I spent around 2 months on and off trying to get my hands on a copy of this ARC and I am beyond grateful to have received one through Netgalley.

Fate of the Sun King is released on 6th June (UK) and books 1 & 2 are available on KU now.

Enthralling story with a perfect amount of intrigue, twists, and surprises that kept me up at night saying 'just one more chapter'.

Fate of the Sun King shines with the characters and the relationships that develop. There's also a great amount of backstory effortlessly woven into the narrative. Every single thing is this book is so very well done, which is why it has kept me engulfed in the story the whole time.

The romance was perfect, lots of build up and temptations and conflicting emotions swirling to create a dynamic allurement.

And that cliff! I can not wait for the sequel.
