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.

Ok, so firstly it took me a minute to get into the book. I was listening on audible it was going good but I could tell it was going to get better. The visuals are amazing the story is told well, by the end I could not wait and got the second one and started it right away. I literally used my only credit left to get the second book instead of the last portion of the last ACOTAR book that is how good this series is. 10 out of 10!!!

Fun time… think of this book like a mash up of The Bachelor (or like a dating game) and the hunger games sort of. The FMC must compete in deadly trials to win the hand of the Sun King- but she comes to find out some secrets along the way about herself. I really enjoyed this book

Well that was a good time! It didn't give me ACOTAR vibes (lets be honest, we all actually feel for Tamlin in book 1) and I have never read Hunger Games. Atlas is a creep (not as creepy as King Midas from The Plated Prisoner...but pretty creepy) and Gabriel is messy. I'm here for Nadir, Mael, and Amya, this is the story line I need and I will be reading book 2! The book was a solid 4 star for vibes and pace.

I loved the beginning and end of the book but the middle chapters could use some work, but overall a good read and I’m not disappointed
