"In time, you will realize that you hold more magic than most can fathom."

Sora Moore, a high school student from Miami Beach, Florida, is about to undergo a transformation that defies her wildest imagination. A fox girl with desire magic, granting her the power to manifest her heart's desires...as long as she has the energy to fuel it!

As myths and legends unravel around her, Sora's world is turned upside down. The realm of high school bullies will give way to a sinister and grand mystical world, yet her struggles remain unchanged as she begins to suspect that her life is not what it seems and that deeper layers and secrets lay hidden behind her parents' veiled past.

Sora faces daunting questions. Can she adapt to her new life and confront the profound evils lurking in Miami's shadows? Will she learn to harness her burgeoning magical abilities? Is it possible to mend lost friendships with old companions while forging new bonds with mythical beings?

Despite the challenges ahead, she refuses to cower or retreat, standing tall, determined to master her newly awakened magic and rise to meet whatever trials lay in store. The path ahead is uncertain, but one thing is clear: Sora will need every ounce of her power to emerge victorious.

Intriguing Story

I found this book to be intriguing but also a little long. I love how the author built up a world that consisted of magic mixed with myth and science fiction. The story is very detailed and full of humor, drama, suspense, and twists. The narration was good and brought the characters to life. I received this book for free upon my request. I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased review here of my own volition.

Mythological and Fun

Overall, I enjoyed this story. While it seemed to start a little slow for me, it did pick up and held my interest. As it picked up, the story built upon itself and became a very interesting plot with various twists and turns. I liked the different voices for the various characters. The mythological theme and adversity faced throughout the story was intriguing and the building up of the self empowerment made for a great plot. The cliff hanger at the end has me wanting to read the next one in the series.

intriguing characters. great world building

very unique world. good world building characters. you can't help caring about plenty of twists and turns. things are not always what they seem. narrator did a good job overall that were some volume issues every once in a while where it would suddenly get really loud. after a few minutes it would go back to normal plowed through this book in 2 days. can't wait for the next one to come out in the series

Very enjoyable

A coming of age story for a bullied girl. Our heroine's world is almost shattered when she comes to the crashing revelation (for a teenage girl) that she's not actually the center of the universe and the sole character with a backstory. Her bullies have issues of their own, and with kindness, courage and enough largesse of heart to shown forgiveness, it looks like everyone is about to board the SS Growing Up towards a really interesting future.

Then again, how does that chinese curse goes... yeah, things are gonna get a lot more interesting soon.

I was mildly triggered by some of the bullying, but then again its the almost-standard highschool experience nowadays. Some of the story felt a bit predictable, yet there's only so many ways to write about universal themes. On the other hand, saying 'some' is not the same as saying 'all' or even 'most'. Not at all! I enjoyed the surprises along the weay and oddly enough, find myself hoping the little goblin restaurant has a bright future ahead of itself.

I found the narration adequate, though the male voice actor seems to have been stretched a tiny bit too thin by having to voice too many characters, and sometimes they sound a little bit too similar to one another. Beyond that, it is very enjoyable.

The female voice actress has a truly amazing range since she managed to do even MORE characters and keep them distant, specially considering how oftentimes she had to switch on a dime.

The Twists And Turns, Chariter and

As with most books over 20 hours. They go more into depth and Character building. It took me about 1 hour to just under 2 to start hooking me. After about 3 and a half hours, the hook set and the fun and anticipation began. By 4 hours I was hooked and Really started connecting to the main characters and the sub characters, the developing story with the its Twists and unexpected turns. No spoilers, but there always for me need to have that comic relief character to make you laugh or roll your eyes. I bonded quickly to that person while Enjoyed the diversity in the character building. I am older (not saying how old) but I feel this is directed at a age group between 15 to 32. I am older than that, so it took me a little bit longer to get hooked. But when I did... the Lession was fun, entertaining, engaging and Suprising. If your looking for a "Air Port Burnet" read, 8 to 12 hours. This get much deeper. If you enjoy Epic Fantacy, longer, deeper books with many books in the series, or just More Depth than a 10 hour Burn Read. This is for you. And it is easy to see that more books will be coming.

I hope this helped. I am not the best at book reviewing. More just a "I Liked it", or "I Did Not Like It", type person. This was a, When I got into it (3 hours or so) I Enjoyed the Audio book, got hooked and Did Like it! It was well Worth the lession. And waiting for a second, I hope is to come.

interesting Mix of Magic and Sci fi

Overall a good story worth the listen. The narrators were good. The story needed a little polish on editing, although it ddnt distract from the overall book. . I look forward to the next one in the series

A Must-Listen audiobook.

A Tail's Misfortune" blends the real world with fantastical creatures in a way that feels fresh and exciting. The audiobook narration perfectly captures the atmosphere of this urban fantasy world, making you feel like you're right there with Sora as she navigates her new reality.

A story about personal transformation

"A Tail's Misfortune: Transformation" is an exceptional novel that stands as a testament to the strength of the human spirit and the magic of personal transformation. It is a compelling read for anyone who has ever faced adversity, felt out of place, or dreamed of something more. With its vivid characters, rich mythological tapestry, and powerful themes, this book is a captivating journey from the darkness of despair to the light of self-acceptance and empowerment.

Fun story with interesting characters

There is a wide cast of well designed characters and they are fun and quirky with their own interesting and unique voices that come through in the writing and narration. However, it does feel like the characters are too weak for the power level of the story the author really wants to tell involving universe level secrets. I look forward to seeing how the author bridges the gap between the weakness of the main cast and the overwhelming might of the forces that surround them.
