“Globetrotting troublemaker Delilah Dirk and her loyal friend Selim are just minding their own business, peacefully raiding castles and traipsing across enemy lines, when they attract the unwanted attention of the English Army. Before they know it, Delilah and Selim have gotten themselves accused of espionage against the British crown!

Delilah will do whatever it takes to clear her good name, be it sneaking, skirmishing, or even sword fighting… But can she bring herself to wear a pretty dress and have a nice cup of tea with her mother? Delilah Dirk may be defeated at last.”

This is the second book in the Delilah Dirk graphic novel series. I ended up loving this book even more than the first one, it was just such a fun and entertaining read!

When Delilah is wrongly accused of spying against the British empire she decides she must clear her name…even if it means going back home to her family and wearing a….dress (gasp).

I love the characters and fast-paced story, this is a highly entertaining read that I really enjoyed a ton. There is a lot of humor in here, a lot of action, and a lot of snark.

The illustration is very well done. It’s bright and colorful and easy to follow.

Overall I loved this graphic novel and am really enjoying the Delilah Dirk series in general. This graphic novel series has been fast-paced, fun, and highly entertaining I can’t wait to pick up the third book!
