The P.A.W.S. Saga continues with this fifth book. It did take me a little bit to get into the story, as it had been a while since I’d listened to the first four books. Things did start to fall into place for me once I remembered who all the characters were.

Debbie Manber Kupfer did a great job with continuing her epic story. I love how she incorporates magical beings and shape shifters. I am looking forward to seeing what is to come next.

Christopher Michael Goodrich performed the story quite well. I wasn’t a fan of some of his voice choices, but he did present the characters in a way that brought out their personalities. I would certainly listen to more of his narrations.

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

Cotula (The P.A.W.S. Saga #5), my fifth read from author Debbie Manber Kupfer. A well-written enjoyable 571 page/13-hour 54-minute read. Christopher Michael Goodrich’s talented narration adds to this unique book's enjoyment. I bought the Kindle edition back in July of 2020 and with Covid and all the associated distractions, I lost track of it until I acquired the Audible version. I look forward to the 4 Tales from P.A.W.S. as well as the next books in this entertaining series after having read these 5 books. "I received a free Audible review copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review." (RIP Marley January 20, 2014 - July 24, 2018).

There were so many little storylines so while listening to it you have to make you sure you have read or listened to all the previous books or you will be lost when you to this book. This is by far the more imaginative ones out of the series I have listened to thus far most likely due to circumstances that had occurred during the time.

The narrator did an amazingly job with changing between characters and keeping them separate. Very talented to be able to remember what voice goes to whom.

This was the longest book yet of the Series and was a Great Story. Narrator does a nice job, but some of the characters voices are a bit hard on the ears. Anyone wishing to listen to this story really need to first listen to the other Stories in this Series. Not a Stand alone type book.

I am reviewing the ebook "Cotula (The P.A.W.S. Saga #5)" and Audible audiobook. The narration is very good, by Christopher Goodrich. He does a wonderful job with the different inflections in his voice to represent all the characters and the situations. I love the fact that Debbie Manber-Kupfer takes the time to explore each or her characters and drawn them out in the P.A.W.S. adventure. This is book 5 in the series and is as entertaining as the rest. They are great reads for middle school kids and older. Rifka is on her own and dropped off by Frederick to another family to employ her and look after her. We get to see how she navigates her life and tries to see who's on her side to help. Rifka is such an innocent she's quite young too. Paws is able to lend a hand, but trouble shows its head. Many of the other characters continue to help Rifka, Sherlie the Camel is mentioned, Danny, and so many more but others try to hinder like Morganna, Stella, and the Tegs. Will all the Cotula stones show up to help release Rifka? Will she really be able to escape. This is a must read in the series and my favorite in the series so far.

I was given a free copy from StoryOrigin in exchange for an honest review.

These books get better and better. The plot is bigger than imagined and its nice seeing puzzle pieces falling into place, or are they? Still plenty to experience at P.A.W.S!

You’ll like this, cracking mix of magic and fae, even a dragon this time.

These stories are like a combination of Redwall and Harry Potter, fun to read and not to dark.
I look forward to the next book, and hope the dragons have recovered enough to join in the adventure again.
