About this listen

The year is 2375, and the world has been drained of most of its natural resources. In order to preserve their dying planet, the government puts The Digital Life Initiative into action.

Those deemed of low economic value are placed into a state of cryogenic sleep, their minds connected to a myriad of virtual worlds. They become digital citizens, living out their lives in virtual cities.

Kadia Greene wasn’t someone who had any interest in the virtual worlds, unlike her brother who spent his days wasting away in a VR capsule. Top of her class, and on the fast track to university, Kadia is horrified to find herself issued with a notice of digitalization. In an instant, her life begins to fall apart around her, but as she enters Kaledon, the newest and most realistic fantasy world on the market, Kadia finds her dreams and passion rekindled.

The First Tail is book one in the Nine Tails of Alchemy, a slice-of-life series set in a virtual world that follows the struggles and successes of a Kitsune protagonist.

Enjoyable

First thing I want to get out of the way due to confusion the cover caused in my reading group once selected: This is not a romance story or smutty in any way.

That done, this story was a fun, slice of life, fantasy read/listen. It’s got a wild start and a few wtf moments but is fun. Enjoyed the narrator as well, she lent the perfect voice to our female MC Kadia.

Good story

Ticked off at amazon requiring a written review. I have stopped leaving star book reviews due to the required written review. But this book requires it. The book has a few cringe moments and issues with the guild that ticks me off.

Worth your time

Okay, I know this is a rather small book with few reviews but, this book is definitely worth the 16 hours of your life it demands. The main character is actually fun, with interesting supporting characters and best of all. The book doesn’t take itself too seriously leaving room for actual humor. There’s a part where some of the characters fall into a pit trap, and instead of everyone going all “woe is me, this is the end of the world” they mostly start joking with each other (the pit trap is full of flammable goo btw) it’s definitely worth the credit.

Great book

I'm excited for book two and so on. It's a great story and writing. Now I just have to wait the year it's going to take to get to audible (hopefully less) so the voice actor can do the great job she did for this book.
