The Worthy Soldier (A Gareth & Gwen Medieval Mystery Book 9)
The Worthy Soldier (A Gareth & Gwen Medieval Mystery Book 9) | Sarah Woodbury
8 posts | 2 read | 2 to read
May 1147. The Prince of Gwynedd has temporarily allied himself with King Cadell and his Norman relations in order to finally evict the hated Flemings from south Wales. But while the battle goes well, the celebratory feast afterwards does not, leaving Gareth and Gwen among the few left standing. And it is to them, as always, that the investigation falls and on whom peace in Wales may well depend.

I forgot how much I loved this book. Llelo is becoming his own man, but happily and proudly following in Garth‘s footsteps. Woodbury is so faithful to historical truth, she doesn‘t shy away from pregnant women drinking mead. Evan finds himself a lovely bride. It‘s a heartwarming and beautiful story, with some murders and a large scale poisoning to spice things up a bit. The Worthy Soldier is my absolute favourite Gareth and Gwen story this far.

I‘m ready to start this one, just as soon as I‘ve gotten some sleep. I got a TB shot for my new job on Monday, and I should probably be sleeping it off at the moment.

@Texreader just four more books to have the whole series as it currently stands. At least this one section of my shelves is looking REALLY good (apart from the hot pink water bottle...the invisible bookends didn‘t work on this either). I‘m half tempted to take the pink bit off and just go for the glass. Maybe I could fill them with lights and make them glow. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Texreader This is so awesome!!! I like the idea with the lights 4y
GingerAntics @Texreader I have some fun lights that have a mic in the battery pack and can flash based on the sounds in the room. That could be really fun. I‘m trying to think of fun things I could do with the water bottles or crafty things for bookends until I have enough books to not need them as much. Candles and sand art? 😂🤣😂 4y

5🌟 Another AMAZING Gareth and Gwen story. The always shifting climate of Welsh royalty is so interesting. The weird ways almost everyone in power is related to everyone else is entertaining. Seeing Llelo growing into a man and making decisions about his own life is amazing. Woodbury does such a great job of weaving her own imagination with history is so well done I don‘t ever want this series to end.

GingerAntics This is the second to last book currently available. I found out at the end of this one that the last one currently available was released in January 2018, and the new book comes out later this month (Sept 2018) so hopefully we won‘t have to wait to long for more books in this series. This series is just so good, I will keep reading these books as long as Sarah Woodbury writes them (which I hope is a really long time). 6y

I‘m so glad we stumbled upon them and then you posted about it. I passed that first one up when I first saw it because I seriously thought it was a romance novel. How wrong we all were. lol (Although this one does have a thing with Evan 😏) 6y
Texreader Reading is so soothing with my grief tonight (thanks for your happy thoughts!). I‘m wrapping up this one and so happy for Evan! And I love that the “romance” part of the book is short and sweet. 6y

GingerAntics @Texreader it was nice to have that bit of romance, but it was also nice that it was short and sweet so it wasn‘t hijacking the rest of the story. It worked out just the way it should have, I think. I can‘t wait for the new one, though. Even if I probably won‘t get to start it until Friday. lol 6y
GingerAntics @Texreader so glad Evan, Gwen, Gareth, and Llelo can cheer you up a bit. 6y
Texreader I agree completely. The “love story” was handled perfectly. 6y
GingerAntics @Texreader which makes me love her as an author even more. It was very realistically handled. These guys aren‘t the swooning type...at least not out from behind closed doors. lol 6y

Just a few books later, it‘s hard to think of little Llelo being a man now.

I don‘t know if this is historically accurate or not, but my gut tells me it is, because people have always wanted to tell other people how to live their lives. #somethingsneverchange #historyrepeatsitself #sarahwoodbury #theworthysoldier

Starting the next one. Hopefully I can finish this one before I have to go back to work tomorrow.
