Londinium

The P.A.W.S. Saga #4

by Debbie Manber Kupfer

“The pea soup has spoken,” said Caradog. “You are destined for Londinium.”
“Londinium?” asked Miri.
“It was the ancient city from which London sprang. The P.A.W.S. Institute of Londinium is the oldest in the world. It started before the city of today existed and straddles the old and the new. Unfortunately, today it is run by a fool.”

Join Miri as she continues her journey through Umbrae and Londinium with the help of werecats, wild warlocks, an old dog, a duck, and a whole lot of pea soup.

The P.A.W.S. Saga continues with Londinium.

This book follows Miri as she makes her way through Umbrae and on a journey to Londinium, the most ancient of P.A.W.S. locations. Along the way she has all types of help from different people and creatures and is even able to rescue Danny.

This book was pretty good. It was a fun adventure full of action. I'm glad Danny was freed. I'm happy to see him and Miri back together. My biggest wish for these books is that they would give a "the journey so far," type of recap at the beginning. I've read this series from the start and, I have lost some bits of information along the way so a little recap would help ;)

Overall, I enjoyed this story. The characters all have their separate stories and quirks, and I love them all. I can't wait to get the next book and see what Rifka' s story has to tell. This book had a lot about young Rifka and her marriage to the evil Frederick. So her journey is one that is interesting, and I can't wait to see what happens to her.

This a dual review for the ebook and audio book. "Londinium" is Debbie Manber Kupfer's 4th book in her "P.A.W.S. Saga series" It is 10 hours plus entertainment of Miri, Daniel, and other students from the P.A.W.S organization. First I want to mention the narrator Christopher Goodrich who did an amazing job. He was easy to understand and I loved his vocal inflection for each character. I don't know how he kept track of all the voices and he made listening such a joy and funny at times. My preference is shorter audio books but when the story is good it is worth the listen. " Londinium" is very detailed as Miri's story continues and she sets out for Umbrea to rescue Danny. Everyone at P.A.W.S wonders where they are. Another story is taking place in Jerusalem with Fredrick the werewolf. Andrew is stirring up trouble at P.A.W.s Things are happening everywhere and it's all connected. Tons of mystery, adventure and intrigue. A wonderful story for young adults and adults alike. I was given a free audio book from StoryOrigin in exchange for an honest review.

This is the fourth book in the series, and the longest one so far which was good cause I loved the storyline. Miri continues her journey in this novel, with a lot of plot for you to enjoy. It talks of some of where the last book left off, in Umbrae, and continues into Londinium. This book even mentions some of what the side short stories in the passing (like Griddlebone).

Christopher narrates this book (as well as the third) and does an excellent job at it. The voice changes he does for each character is great, it really helps to draw to you into the scenes of the book.

I received a free review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an honest review with my thoughts on it.

This is the 4th book in the P.A.W.S. series and it is the best so far. I have been hooked from the 1st book. The 1st and 2nd books told the main story. The 3rd gave you the background of the characters involved and their past realtives. This book weaves in the new characters we were introduced to from the past and the current and when they are all together in one book it makes for an amazing story. The narrator does an awesome job with this book. I have reviewed not giving any spoliers but dang, alot happens in this book. I was given a free copy of this audiobook at my request and this is my honest review.

Londinium (The P.A.W.S. Saga, #4), my second read from author Debbie Manber Kupfer. A well-written enjoyable 10 hour 16 minute read. As this is the fourth book in the series I've obviously missed something coming in, but it came across as a stand-alone work. Christopher Goodrich’s narration adds to this unique book's enjoyment. I really need to read the first 2 books in the series as I've now read books 3 & 4. "I received a free Audible review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

Miri’s adventure continues as the chain of events takes her to London. Will she be able to rescue her friend? Will the evil presence, that continues to grow, finally be stopped?

The cast of characters, locations, and sense of urgency continue to expand in this intriguing series by Debbie Manber Kupfer.

Christopher Goodrich seems to have really come into his own with this narration. His finest to date.

I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Okay I was not really impressed with the narrator, and the story was really busy. I lost track of the story at times. But I enjoyed it none the less, it could have been better. Now that they are heading home I guess Miri will have to deal with her brother. So far Frederick is not as bad as their father, so I am reserving judgement. I look forward to the next book.

This was a good continuation of this series, I enjoy how the various characters change from human to animal and the families involved. The author has Hasidic Jewish people ( Rabbi) as part of the magical Creature of this world. The Narrator uses strange sounding voices for some of the characters and speaks V E R Y S. L. O. W. L. Y which I personally found disconcerting. This would be a good story to read to younger children.

This was a really cool experience. I read my own book together with my son, Joey. It was awesome seeing it again through his eyes.
