Did I write my sentence correctly?

"She was still suspicious of him even though Clara had spoken rather favorably of him."

Is "favorably of him" used correctly? Is it better than "favorable towards him." ?

thanks!!

Strictly speaking, it's not "favorably of him". It's "had spoken ... of him". "of" is sometimes used instead of "about" with words like "speak" and "talk".

... had [spoken / talked] [favorably / unfavorably] [of / about] him.
