Another wonderful romp of Delilah Dirk and Selim. The only down side is that there are currently no more adventures out there!

This is the third in a series, of which I haven't read. I saw this cover and was instantly drawn in and decided to give it a go without reading the first two. I totally plan to now read the others because this was fantastic!

The artwork was stunning. The main characters were fully fleshed out (I can't say as much for the secondary ones, they were kind of tropey BUT I still enjoyed it anyway). I had no problem following the story without reading the first two.

All in all, a solid, fun adventure comic with a badass female main character and her loyal right hand man!

This book was good!  I think I will always like the first Delilah Dirk the best, but this installment was more fun than the second book at least! I loved the fantastical elements in this book, it felt adventurous. While not very impactful, I did enjoy this series and wish there were more of them

Didn’t realize this was the third book in the series but can definitely read as a stand-alone. I recommend for those who love Indiana Jones and want a strong female protagonist. I really like the secondary character as well and find it a fun little adventure book

Another fun Delilah adventure, but what I enjoyed most about this one is it seems Delilah is evolving as a character. I love the chemistry between her and Selim, how they play off one another's best and worst qualities, and I like that her relationship with him is leading toward her character growth.

Also, I really ship those two. I hope there are more books in the series.

I enjoy this series although not my favorite in the collection so far. Had less of the witty comments and bantering that i loved in the first two and some of the adventures and double crossing felt repetative.

I didn't quite enjoy this one as much as the others. I am not sure if that is because it had been so long since reading the previous ones (I couldn't remember who Merrick was, so how am I supposed to be invested in what happens between him and Delilah?) OR was this one that much different in either pacing or tone than the others. Certainly the middle felt sluggish...

Thankfully the ending picked up again.
