Best of 2016: Delilah Dirk and the King’s Shilling

By Dustin Cabeal

The awaited continuation of Tony Cliff series came in the form of Delilah Dirk and the King’s Shilling. Whereas the first volume introduced us to our main characters and built their friendship, it mainly left Delilah a mystery. She was less character and more force of nature, but in the second volume that all changes.

The story takes us to Delilah’s home and shows how difficult it is for a woman in this era of the story to really stand up and win. It was everything you could want from the story. While it’s doubtful that we’ll get the third volume next year, it’s great to know that there’s always the potential for more from this great series.
