This book was so much better the second time around. The mystery in this book is so convoluted, it needs a second trip through to catch it all and wrap your head around it. I ally enjoyed it so much more this second time, even if I didn‘t remember as much of this one because of how confused I was the first time around.

@Texreader okay, so I have one answer, I‘m still working on the second. These are my notes.

Texreader 😄 You‘ll have to share these again someday with me when I reread the books! 👍🏻 2y

GingerAntics @Texreader lol I have my notes this time around. I wasn‘t keeping a reading journal when I first started the series, so most of the books only have one entry. The last 2-3 will have two entries. I‘ll be sure to share notes with you when you read them again. 2y

@Texreader and I were a bit confused about parts of this one last time around, and we both talked about rereading it. I guess I‘m finally getting around to doing that. I‘ll try to keep track of any answers I find.

Finished this one just now. I‘m a bit confused by how the mystery was resolved. But probably doesn‘t help that it‘s 3 am and it‘s storming outside while my boys are camping several hours away where there are flash flood warnings. I‘ll be a wreck all night till I know they are safe. I‘ll do a better review when things are calmer here.

Susannah I'm sorry you're having a rough night. Sending good thoughts for their safety. 6y

laurieluna Hope your boys stay safe! X 6y

Centique Oh youch - that would stress me out too! All the best for your boys and you 💕💕 6y

BethM How are they? Hugs. 6y

Texreader @Susannah @miralunasbooknook @Centique @BethM I finally just heard from them and they are fine. Out hiking now. Whew! Thanks for your kind thoughts!! 6y

laurieluna Thats great! Hope they're having fun in the great outdoors. We have scouts over here and I'll be signing the boys up when they're 6 to get them out exploring! 6y

GingerAntics This one did have a strange ending of sorts. It was a little weird. I think I was more focused on the domestic part of the story. I thought that was it. I may have to reread this one (or just the whole series because I love it). So glad your boys are okay. 6y

Texreader @GingerAntics I never figured it out. What was the significance of the lists? Besides that Charles wrote them? Anything? 6y

GingerAntics I think your guess is as good as mine. It didn‘t seem to have any meaning outside of Charles writing them. I really think I‘m going to have to reread this one just to try and wrap my mind around the solution to the murders. 6y

GingerAntics Have you started the last/new one? I haven‘t. Yet. I think it‘s going to be tonight or tomorrow though. 6y

Texreader @miralunasbooknook That‘s awesome! My husband got super involved in the last year and he and my son are doing amazing things together. Making many lifetime memories for the both of them. It really helps when they start earning badges. 6y

Texreader @GingerAntics not yet. I keep forgetting to purchase it when on my laptop. Not sure why it won‘t let me purchase from my phone (which I use as my kindle). 6y

Texreader @GingerAntics I feel I need to reread too to understand. I thought it was just my weird state of mind in the middle of the night and storming. 6y

GingerAntics Nope, it was the book...or at least the both of us. I thought you pre-ordered it at one point? I‘ve had it on my phone since Tuesday, but I just haven‘t started it. I was going to wait until Friday, then I got 4 audiobooks in two days from library holds, so I‘m trying to decide. If you haven‘t started it, I don‘t feel behind yet. I was wondering why amazon doesn‘t allow buying kindle books from the app, too. It‘s annoying. 6y

Texreader @GingerAntics I‘m so embarrassed. 😳 I did preorder it and I have it!! Maybe I‘ll start tonight too. 6y

GingerAntics @Texreader I HAVE DISCOVERED THE REASON FOR THE LISTS! The detail was so small and not very important, I think we both just moved right over it before. 2y

I‘m heading out of town for the week so I‘ve bought books 9-10 in hopes of lots of hotel reading time. The tagged book was only 99 cents! Nice!! I also preordered book 11—oooh, it‘s Godfried‘s turn!

GingerAntics

GingerAntics I saw that about the 11th book. I can‘t even begin to imagine, and I can‘t wait. Hopefully I‘ll be able to pre-order next weekend. Fingers crossed. LOVED that book 10 was only a buck. What‘s not to love with that?! 6y

5🌟 Another great book. I can‘t wait for the next one on the 18th. Come hell or high water, I‘m coming up with the $6 for this book. Period. The end. I‘m also very excited that in the historical note at the end, Woodbury basically promised more Gareth and Gwen books. That makes me SO happy and excited!!! I can‘t wait to see where these stories will go. I‘m loving the little introduction to Welsh history as well. (cont‘d below)

GingerAntics For the life of me, I can‘t figure out who the titular “Favored Son” is. At least I‘m not nearly as worried about Llelo, now. I thought maybe he was going start feeling like an orphan again, but it doesn‘t seem like that now. I seriously love that kid, no idea why. Dai is really starting to grow on me, too. I think they both really like having younger siblings now. #sarahwoodbury #thefavoredson #garethandgwen #llelo #fosterson #adoptedson @Texreader 6y

GingerAntics @Texreader I have absolutely no idea what is going on with this cover art. Apparently we‘ve gone back to horrible covers again. Is that supposed to be Gareth? I‘m just not even sure. It‘s hokie and really doesn‘t go with the story. I thought that had cleared itself up after the one with the murder at the mill and the cover had a mill on it. I guess they fired that designer and brought the original one back. lol 6y

Texreader @GingerAntics yes that‘s a terrible cover again 6y

GingerAntics @texreader just for fun I‘m about to start creating alternate book covers for these things. lol The bad ones are just making me laugh. 6y

A little less concerned about Llelo now...still worried about him, though.

GingerAntics @Texreader I love Llelo so much...even if the proper pronunciation of his name throws me for a loop. (edited) 6y

I really wish I could stay up and keep reading this. It suddenly just turned extra ultra juicy, plus I‘m worried about Llelo in this one (because of the title). I‘m just so exhausted. It will be here for me tomorrow.

Nos da! (Good night in Welsh - @Texreader see what I did there? lol)

#sarahwoodbury #thefavoredson #cadwaladr

Texreader I‘m really getting into book 7 now. I‘ll be back on track soon. Goodnight!😴 6y

Starting this one. I have a half hour before I can head home from work, and no students, so I might as well use my time to crack into another amazing Gareth and Gwen mystery.

@Texreader LOOK!!! I‘m nearly fluent between the books and the Greetings 1 pack in Duolingo. 🤣🤣🤣 I know how to call someone “Love” and I know how to say I‘m a dragon. What else could I possibly need to say in Welsh?!
Draig dw i, cariad. End of conversation, right there. 🤣🤣🤣

Texreader Perfect!! 6y
