I loved spending time with Godfrid, Connell, and Cait. I just wish the narrator could actually speak her native tongue. I don‘t understand how these basic mispronunciations weren‘t corrected. I would expect to have to do those parts again, but apparently Laurel Schroeder doesn‘t. As a native English speaker she should know how to say “chomping,” but - again - apparently not. “Champing” at the bit was jarring, distracting, and ridiculous.

GingerAntics I would have absolutely been willing to pay a little more for these audiobooks to have a better narrator, or at least have some editing done. All the stars for Sarah Woodbury 2y

Only four books left in the series (so far). I probably won‘t finish by the end of the month, but it will definitely be shortly after. I remember quite liking this one the first time around. The idea of Gareth and Gwen on parental leave is still amusing, too.

5🌟 Another great Sarah Woodbury book. I missed Gareth and Gwen (almost as much as the characters of this book did), but I really enjoyed getting to meet Cait and I‘m happy with the ending. I wouldn‘t mind more Godfrid and Cait books, but I‘m definitely looking forward to Gareth and Gwen returning from parental leave.

GingerAntics Alright, @Texreader are we any closer to choosing our next Sarah Woodbury series? 6y
Texreader @GingerAntics Well, honestly not from my end. It was a heckuva Monday today at work so I‘ve been chilling watching HGTV. Shameful right? 6y
Texreader @GingerAntics I promise I‘ll start checking them out soon...unless you make a decision sooner! 🤗 6y

GingerAntics @Texreader honestly? My vote is for the lion of wales series and then the last pendragon saga because I just get the impression that those are somehow “in order” that way, even if that‘s not the intent. I don‘t want to lord over reading decisions, though. lol I just really like King Arthur stuff. 6y
GingerAntics @Texreader no that‘s pretty much what I do after a long day at work. Sometimes you just have to veg out in front of the TV and let your brain recover from a crazy day. 6y
Texreader @GingerAntics I‘m doing a little research now. I‘ll let you know my thoughts 6y
GingerAntics @Texreader I‘m tempted to find Sarah Woodbury on twitter and see what she says. lol 6y
Texreader @GingerAntics Ok I agree. We start with Lion of Wales series. I‘ve downloaded book one. So...here we go. 6y
Texreader @GingerAntics I‘ve been poking around her website 6y
GingerAntics @Texreader oh okay so I didn‘t just imagine that? Okay. Love this first book free thing!!! lol I hadn‘t thought to go looking on her website. 6y
Texreader @GingerAntics I was going to say the same thing. The first book free thing is so awesome. Such a great way to discover new authors! I still have some I‘ve downloaded and not read because well because of Woodbury. 6y
Texreader @GingerAntics She has a post-apocalypse series. Hmmmm. 6y
GingerAntics @Texreader I have the same problem. I love the idea of the first book in a series being free. You can hook people and get them to read the rest. She has a post apocalypse series? Which one is that? I haven‘t seen that on kindle or Apple Books, have I? 6y
GingerAntics @Texreader I don‘t usually go for that sort of thing, but for Woodbury I just might. 6y

Texreader Ok I totally missed that 6y
Texreader I hope it means more to come for G & G! 6y
GingerAntics @Texreader I haven‘t seen anything where she‘s said this was the end of the series, so I‘m really hoping there are more to come. Book 10 actually came out in early 2018, so I‘m hoping it won‘t be too long before the next one is available. 6y
Texreader It blows my mind how many books she‘s written and how fast she writes them. These aren‘t simple stories. 6y
GingerAntics @Texreader maybe she has plots mapped out way in advance? I don‘t know. She‘s got to come up with a dead person, the solution, and then all the ways people are going to lie. I‘ve never written a mystery, but I‘m not sure I could keep track of everything. 6y

When the book you‘re reading ties in perfectly with the Shakespeare play you‘re reading.

Stunningly poignant. I‘m almost think Ottar is a stand in for someone else.

@Texreader getting there. Almost there. I should be able to finish tonight.

Chugging right along. I am quite interested in whodoneit. I was excited when Abbot Rhys showed up, but then he just as suddenly went back home. That was a strange little tidbit. That‘s the second random person to momentarily show up who knows G&G. That‘s not weird at all. No need to worry.

Powering through this sometimes awkward, but still amazing book (how many times do they have to mention Gareth and Gwen? Just curious. It‘s throwing me off. Forget the almost love triangle with Gwen, Godfrid‘s got a mancrush on Gareth!!!) so that @Texreader and I can dive into another of Sarah Woodbury‘s series, because she‘s just that awesome.

It was good but not as good as the G&G mysteries. How do I know? I sort of trudged through this one and so it took a lot longer to read, a couple of weeks maybe? G&G books take me days. I think if she continues with the Dane stories they will become as compelling. The characters are great; we just need to grow with them some more.

Texreader Which SW series are you starting next @GingerAntics ? I need to keep up with you!! 🤗 6y
GingerAntics lol I haven‘t even finished this one yet. You did this one in about a week and 4 or 5 days. I‘m still only 45% done. lol I‘m not sure. What do you think we should read next? 6y
GingerAntics Okay I‘ve had a look. My number one choice is tied between The Lion of Wales series (directly about King Arthur) and the Last Pendragon Saga (I think it‘s slightly after King Arthur). I don‘t know if they are supposed to be read in that order or what. I know the first book of each is free. All of the “Time” books are a bit confusing so it‘s going to take some time (no pun intended) to figure out how we want to approach those. Just my 2 cents. 6y

GingerAntics I‘ll try to hurry up and finish this one. lol I agree, it‘s not as good as the G&G mysteries, but I wouldn‘t mind getting to know these characters more and then I‘d probably like them just the same. Maybe a parallel series. lol 6y
Texreader @GingerAntics I‘ll do some research too. I like the idea of reading Arthur related books in order. Have you read Bernard Cornwall‘s Arthur books? They‘re really good 6y
GingerAntics No I haven‘t. I haven‘t read nearly enough Arthur. I like the legends but haven‘t read much. I can‘t say those two series are definitely meant to be read in that order, but it seems logical to me. lol 6y

GingerAntics @wtimblin the funny thing is, this was actually talking about how guys like to go right to the fighting and women are the ones looking for the compromises and win-win situations. lol 6y

Wow, the parallels are just stunning. Broken promises. Nothing is ever his fault. He‘s a blowhard who can‘t keep his hands off of women that aren‘t his. Is this intentional or just coincidence?! This series may have just turned into political commentary. Bless you, Sarah Woodbury. As if I didn‘t love you enough already!!!

Ottar is starting to sound more and more like someone else I know. Here‘s hoping Godfrid can take him down!!!
#sarahwoodbury #thevikingprince #garethandgwen #waitno #godfridthedane #irishvacation #irishadventure

Texreader I think the author did this intentionally. It‘s too close for comfort to our current situation 6y

It‘s taken me a bit longer to get into this one because I really do miss Gareth, Gwen, Tangwen, Llelo, Dei, and Taran (not to mention Hywel and his dragons), but I‘m becoming okay with just the random (once a chapter) mentions of them.
#sarahwoodbury #thevikingprince #garethandgwen #waitno #godfridthedane #irishvacation #irishadventure

Texreader I miss them too but am loving Godfrid, Conall and Cait! 6y
Texreader I also love the disguises! 6y
GingerAntics @Texreader the disguises are great...the different ways people are pretending to be other people and pulling off various rouses. I love that. That helps, too. 6y

I‘m 20% into this ebook and even though I miss Gareth and Gwen it‘s another great book from this author so far. The characters are so compelling. I also enjoy reading about the Danes founding Dublin. Fascinating.

GingerAntics I‘m just ahead of you then at 25%. I miss Gareth and Gwen, too. It‘s strange they keep getting mentioned. It‘s a good book, though. 6y

If this book ends up with a character named Sam I think I‘m going to die laughing. Just a warning. 🤣😂🤣

Getting started on this one now. I‘m so excited to read the lastest in this series, although I am a little nervous that Gareth and Gwen won‘t be in it. I guess we‘ll have to see. No help from Siri at the moment since he‘s decided he doesn‘t know how to read contractions anymore. Loving iOS 12 so far, accept book related things.

Texreader 🤗😘 You are so awesome! I can‘t wait. Just finished 9 now so moving on... 6y
GingerAntics @Texreader oh you‘re going to love book 10!!! I think “The Favored Son” is a great title because it‘s almost got a double meaning and is slightly ironic in one of those meanings. When you get in there, give Llelo a hug for me. 6y
