The Delphic Dame, Book 2

By: Jenny Schwartz

Narrated by: Tess Irondale

A fate-defying chase across the universe.

Fate is a tricky witch.

On the run across federation space, Cherry has stuffed far too many dangerous secrets into her scout ship. Now, the Delphic Dame is the most hunted spaceship in the universe.

It may also be the only force in the universe capable of saving humanity.

Cherry just has to stay one step ahead of her enemies—and, maybe, of her allies.

It’s was ok - slower than the first.

Overall it kept the story going. Though it was a slower pace with lots of build up and then jumped to another area. Not sure if the flow and pacing were exciting like others said. Not sure if I want to spend a credit for the next one.

The Series Keeps Getting Better & Better!

This is another Jenny Schwartz winner! It begins after one of my favorite J. Schwartz series: “The Adventures of a Xeno-Archaeologist.” The Delphic Dame Series picks up the story from Cherry’ perspective and I LOVE IT!!!! I listened to books 1-2 back to back and I am now heavily invested in this new group of lovable characters as much as I am those in the preceding series.

If you prefer a more cerebral Sci-Fi action story, this is the author and series for you. My only con is I kept holding off listening to the 1st two books because I wanted to listen to the available 3rd book in the series and it wasn’t available. But I am happy I didn’t wait, Tess Irondale did such a great job that as I start reading book three I feel I gained nuance I wouldn’t have otherwise. ***applause***

Great Series

I really like this series. It’s got a found family in space vibe, I should have described it that way when trying to get a friend to try it instead of referring to it as “crabs in space.” Oh well, his loss.

Decent

A little too much hand waiting convenience for the intrigue, but overall a good book.

Good stuff

Space. Action. Unusual species of aliens. Thought- provoking and very insightful at times, caused me to rewind and listen again a few times.
With one of those “super tight family against all odds” that’s somehow comforting to all of us as we navigate life.
But overall, it’s not too heavy and entertaining. Tight writing that keeps story moving at a quick pace that keeps interest.
