Kadia Greene believed she had found her place in the digital realm, but her new life is upended when she is abruptly pulled back into the harsh reality she thought she had left behind forever.

Torn between the lure of returning to her digital haven and the unresolved issues of her past, Kadia faces the daunting challenge of navigating her new circumstances while grappling with a fractured sense of self. Each decision she makes now will not only define her future but also force her to reconcile the person she was with the person she must become.

What did I was this? Nothing made much sense and no story just an Q&A. I did finish it but I'll have to think about the next first.

Not The Same

I love the emotional heavy sad turn. this book hopefully is as heavy as it gets for the series

to not spoil anything I will say that the dialogue was a bit heavy in this one. keep up the good work.

Not as good as the first two books. The book deals heavily in philosophy of the existence, but could have been shortened. I really disliked the way the "multiverse creator" spoke like a bad startup CEO. However, I can feel the buildup for future books and see the potential. The building of the extra dimension was what kept me. I did not stop listening to the book so it wasn't too boring/whiiny and I still look forward to the Fourth Tail.

The narrator I have listened to a few times and does an excellent job.

One long existential crisis

I believe the series is amazing but I have to admit this book is a dud. to leave out spoilers contradictory information regarding her mom from the end of the second book to now. the first half and I do mean half the book could (and should) have been summed up in 1 or 2 chapters. the second have of the book was basically a giant info dump to set up the rest of the series. honestly absolutely nothing happened in this book the progressed the story that couldn't have fit in a paragraph.
I will be getting the next book but I honestly don't recommend getting this until the next book comes out.

Personally it feels like there’s good chunk of time that was skipped and in the second book seemed to be setting up for the flood to happen but we get this weird skip and kinda wiped around a lot

OMG! Hang in there, the book is worth it, I promise! No spoiler alerts, but I found this book to be both very well written per usual, as well as being X excruciating in terms of the emotional development. Multiple times I had to stop reading because I was crying so much. The only negative aspect that I would point out is that in a couple of sections of the book, the author repeats themselves multiple times, expressing the same point. I’m not sure if this was an intentional part, or just a missed editing opportunity. Aside from that, Very well done as always!

Excellent story, but excruciating emotional development

The book is seriously a drag I’m slogging through it but wish it was broken up with some of the other characters maybe some of mark with the war with the primordial brotherhood would have helped

Not like the first 2 books

this book spends a long time lecturing the listener, though the author doesn’t seem to have read ancient or modern classics of philosophy so it comes off as shallow. some things which were really obvious were drawn out a very long time. I don’t care to criticize every little detail or any particular thing, the main thing is that this is practically a separate series compared to books 1 and 2. I was looking forward to book 3 but instead this is like book 1 of a separate series i wouldn’t necessarily read. maybe the author “grew out of” my infantile taste in sorcery and adventure so the series will now be “serious” and “deep” written with “modern professional techniques” and so forth. well whatever, maybe in another three years when book 4 finally comes out I can see if its back on track. I really did like book 1.

not why i got into the first two books

While I can't say that I enjoyed the first half of this book the second half shows me that the story mearly took a side road in order to develop the MC Kaidia. I did not enjoys the extreme introspection and long narrative self talk that went into the first part of the book but I can see after a certain point that this book was more of less a healing part of her journey and while it took longer than I like to see the pieces of the puzzle come into place, it was still an enjoyable read.

If you enjoyed the first two books this one will be hard to start but it does include a lot of world elements that were lacking about the AI elements of the world and some of the background points of how the gods function.

Different from the first two books but still good
