WHAT A DELIGHT. This book is full of all kinds of things that I like. Awesome lady? Check. Shenanigans? Check. Flying boat? Check. A flying boat.
Delilah Dirk is an adventurer who simultaneously escapes a prison and rescues the titular Turkish lieutenant, Erdemoglu Selim, from being beheaded, and then they proceed to get into and out of several scrapes. Delilah Dirk is like the Count of Monte Christo and Indiana Jones and Batman rolled into one. She's traveled the world, learning new skills! She's a member of English high-society! Does she have a revenge plot to carry out? You could look at it that way, I guess! Regardless, she is great. This book is pure fun from start to finish. Highly recommend.
This story started out as a webcomic, and you can read some of it here.
I love adventures and revenge and flying boats! Especially flying boats! Adding this to my library list for tomorrow. (Its length is totally under control. I don't have a problem. Shut up.)
