Trial of the Sun Queen (Artefacts of Ouranos, 1)
A Court of Thorns and Roses meets Fourth Wing in this pulse-pounding, enemies-to-lovers fantasy romance--with fae magic, high-stakes trials, and a dark prince--from Booktok favorite author Nisha J. Tuli. Ten women. A deadly contest. Only one can win the Sun King's heart.
Lor has endured twelve long years of torment under the Aurora King's rule. Her only desire is to escape and pay him back for every moment of misery she's endured. When a surprise release finds her in the hands of the rival Sun King, Lor is thrust into the spotlight as she competes against nine other Tributes for the role of queen. If she wins his heart, she'll earn her freedom and finally get her revenge. But Lor doesn't belong in the Sun Queen Trials. Not only does she not understand why she was freed, she isn't a citizen of the Sun King's court. The other Tributes resent her presence and will stop at nothing to ensure Lor is removed from the competition, permanently. Now Lor must win, because if she loses, she dies. Or worse, she'll be returned to the evil--and now vengeful--Aurora King.

Saw some people complaining that this is a rip off of Throne of Glass, good thing I've never read that. I love the speed of this book and the immersive story telling. It was great world building without being super heady or too high level for me. I loved the romance and I can't wait to see if Nadir and Lor are fated mates...
Ahhhhhhh! Why did I wait so long to read this!! I've had this book on my TBR list for quite some time but for some reason I just never found the time to start it. But once I did, I flew through it. I think I finished this book in less than 24 hours! Lor is a wonderfully written, strong willed FMC and I cannot wait to dive further into her character in the sequel, she seems to have a lot of history that she keeps hidden and I'm curious to see how things progress between her, Atlas and Nadir. I can definitely see why this book is often compared to ACOTAR but it is absolutely its own work of art!
I really enjoyed this book! From the very beginning, I was hooked and couldn’t wait to see where the story would go. The pacing was excellent, there wasn’t a single moment that felt slow or unnecessary. The characters and plot kept me fully engaged from start to finish. I’m already excited to pick up book two and see what happens next!
