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
