Trial of the Sun Queen by Nisha Tuli
Artefacts of Ouranos, #1
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
A familiar yet entertaining fantasy with a classic competition setting, Trial of the Sun Queen doesn’t reinvent the genre but still manages to be an addictive read. The protagonist is thrown into a high-stakes trial where survival is anything but guaranteed, and while the plot is predictable, it delivers on tension and drama. The pacing is quick, making it an easy book to fly through, and the romance adds just the right amount of intrigue. The writing isn’t particularly strong, but it’s passable enough to keep the story flowing and the stakes feeling real.
If you enjoy stories with trial-based challenges, tension-filled romance, and a fast-moving plot, this is an enjoyable ride. Just don’t expect too many surprises—or much depth to the world itself. It doesn’t offer a fully immersive or intricately built setting, but for readers craving a fast, tropey fantasy that leans into the drama, this one delivers on entertainment.
