Rule of the Aurora King: Artefacts of Ouranos, Book 2

Linds S.

Swoon-worthy follow up to the precious novel - ADDICTING!

"“He will not have my heart…” 🌹 TROPES & THEMES 🌹 ✔️ enemies to lovers ✔️ fated mates (maybe 🤞) ✔️ found family ✔️ forced proximity ✔️ fake dating ✔️ hate BJ ✔️ the best 🤌🏽 🌶️ tension 🤌🏽 ✔️ “who did this to you?” ✔️ daddy Nadir 🧎‍♀️ Remember how much harder ACOMAF slapped than ACOTAR? That’s how this book was to its first. HONEYYY. Nisha didn’t have to go as hard as she did on that steamy tension but she did, fam. She did it for us readers. 🥹 This book picks up pretty much after the fiasco that happened in book 1. Lor discovers Nadir, Aurora Prince and alphahole, has taken her in and is hiding her from not only the Sun King - but his dad too, the Aurora King. Lor comes clean about her heritage, kinda. But only after Nadir and his gang rescue her siblings who were stuck in the prison. I shall NOT say what the big reveal was, but it was hinted at throughout and I was hype when it was confirmed. So now Lor and Nadir must work together to try to and find a certain relic to take down a certain king… 👀 The steam was dialed up, and while we didn’t get to home base - I ain’t even mad. What we got was a five star chef’s rendition of THE PERFECT APPETIZER. The forced proximity and fake dating tropes were excellent ingredients added to this soup pot of romancy goodness and left me satisfied but also at the same time I’m over here ON MY KNEES beggin’ for the next book. 🤣🫠 THIS SERIES IS SO GOOD! It’s so fun, it’s adventurous, easy to follow and understand. It makes you laugh, swoon, rage, and I couldn’t put it down. Every romantacy reader NEEDS to read this series. ["

lots of world building!!

"Freed from the Sun King's control, Lor finds herself under the scrutiny of Nadir, the Aurora Prince, who suspects she’s hiding crucial secrets. Though forced into an uneasy alliance to recover a lost item tied to her mysterious past, Lor remains wary of trusting another royal fae. As the Sun King hunts her down and danger closes in, Lor must stay ahead of her enemies and confront the truth about her legacy. But vengeance alone won’t secure the future of Ouranos—Lor must rise beyond survival and reclaim her power on her own terms. I really liked the first book, but I think I loved this one even more—mostly because of Nadir. There wasn’t as much action this time around, but the world-building and lore totally made up for it and set things up perfectly for the next two books. I loved watching Lor grow into herself and become even more of the strong, fierce main character we all knew she could be, especially now that she’s not just focused on surviving. The banter and angst between her and Nadir? So good. They’re constantly clashing, but the tension is off the charts—it’s that perfect enemies-to-lovers vibe, and it was done really well. I also really enjoyed the multiple POVs, especially getting inside Nadir’s head (loved that), and Serce’s perspective added some great depth too. Overall, this one was a super fun read, and I’m so ready for the next book! Rating: 4/5 Spice: 3/5 (minimal scenes, but they are spicy) Tropes: One Horse Forced Proximity Fated Mates Touch her and die Broody/Possessive MMC Strong FMC ["

Great fantasy romance with great mythology and world building

"Really good romantic fantasy with a great world building and magic system. The mythology and history of the world gets revealed more and more, and the impact on the present gets more and more obvious. The characters are great, and the budding feelings between Lor and Nadir is a great slow burn. The spice is good, and doesn't distract from the main story at all. All n all a really good fantasy series. ["

Slower thank book one, but setting up for an exciting book three

"While book one had a lot of action with the trials, and surprise twists at the end, book two was really heavy on the lore and character development I had a bit of a hard time with this book because I felt like book one was such a page turner and the pacing of this one was so much slower. I did really enjoy the backstory of Serce, and that we were able to get a better understanding of the events that occurred before book one. However, I felt like the plot in the present tense was pretty stagnant and uneventful until the end of the book I also felt like Lor was so strong, sassy, and fierce in book one and in book two she was very weak and unsure of herself so I had a really hard time with her character development in this book. In addition, I had a really hard time connecting with Nadir. I really didn’t like him for the majority of this book; towards the end he became more tolerable, and I’m reallllyyy hoping he grows on me more in book three Overall the world building and lore that develops in this book were really well done and I’m hoping it’s setting up for a really exciting book three.

Second book was almost good

"This second book for a moment got really good and then boring again. So, the second book is pretty much Lor and Nadir looking for the crown. And it got boring fast. The pace was slow for me. Besides the romance part was jus plain annoying. We spend the whole book with Nadir being possessive and knowing what he wants and Lor just being annoying. She is hot and cold the whole book. This is Lor the whole book “now I want you” and “now I don’t want you” over and over again with different sceneries. I really don’t understand why authors write like this, I’m guessing they believe they can call a slow burn but becomes old really fast and boring. I can guess the third book will be all about getting inside the Sun City so that she can get inside the mirror. So probably a copy of the second book with different locations. Everything in this book is very predictable. ["
