Trial of the Sun Queen

By Nisha J. Tuli
Trial of the Sun Queen by Nisha J. Tuli digital book - Fable

Publisher Description

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.

“If I had to describe my feelings for this book in one word, it would have to be neutral. For me this book was neither exceptional nor bad, but for whatever reason I had a hard time engaging with it. The premise and plot are intriguing but I felt the execution fell short, especially as the pacing of the book felt off. A lot of the times there were newly introduced plot points that I found intriguing, but then these were never expanded upon or only given a cursory exploration. Lor as an MC is okay, but I found myself frustrated by a lot of her logic and choices. I also felt like there was no true character growth or arc for her, and this was a trend that spread across all the characters. There were also some stylistic choices in the details of the world I found to be jarring, and these felt contradictory to the world being built by the author. I definitely will pick up the next book and think it is worth giving it a shot, but I wouldn’t say this book tops my list of favorites.”
