I was pleasantly surprised to see that I enjoyed book 2 even more than book 1! SO many do suffer from 2nd book syndrome, but this one upped its game.
In the last book Orry saved the Fleet from destruction. But she is back at her game now, conning people out of their money. And I like Orry, she takes no BS, she is a good person, but she is no hero.
This book has her more on her own as things go south. Suddenly there is a conspiracy. A secret agent. Something that can change the war started in book 1, and she is in the middle of it. And she is to set foot on the most horrid planet. Trust me, this is one creepy place. And I liked the adventure, I liked her more on her own. I also liked hearing a bit more about these worlds.
So yes there is action, there are power hungry people, there are whales in the sky. Creepy inbred weirdos and lots more to quench your thirst. It is quite the space opera.
And again it ends with a all is well for now, and I like that. I like having a bit of peace and quiet and not wringing my hands in torment. But there is obviously still that urge to read more. Something is coming, but what? I do wonder, and I need to know.

Morhelion is an action packed space adventure.
Dominic Dulley has create a great cast of characters who you end up rooting for even if they are Con man and women. The banter between Orry, Ethan and Mender is one of my favourite element, even in dangerous situation you can’t help smile at it. I am still very much in love with the Dainty Jane, and whole heartedly believe she is the best space ship out there.
The writing style is detailed, fast paced and easy to read. ( It did take me a couple of pages to get use to some of the name.) Let’s talk about the plot, it kept me hooked as Orry it basically on a more dangerous version of a scavenger hunt, where the prize at the end is either life or death.
In Morhelion we find out more about the universe and how the human came to live in the stars. I hope we find out more about that in the next books.
Another aspect I enjoyed was the way Orry uses the skills she gain from conning for a different reason. Especially love the way her mind works, it’s fascinating.
If you like science fiction, con artist and unlikely hero’s than I would suggest picking up Morhelion.
My rating for Morhelion is 4.5 out of 5.
