Facts are irrelevant to people like that. If they shout it loud enough and repeat it with conviction, they can convince people to believe anything.
Walker makes a point in her author's note to say that placing this series, full of conspiracy theories and government secrets, in the near-future was probably not the best idea, since the real world is full enough with those things. But I disagree, if anything it makes the message of this series even more relevant and poignant than ever. What is fact and what is lies? Are people with different brain patterns than us all violent and crazy?
This was a good middle book for a really fun series. It's not action-packed and the plot is definitely getting more X-Men-like, but the characters are ones you root for and I enjoyed slowing the pace down to delve more into the politics and planning stage of the journey. Can't wait for the next one!

Very good series, but cliff hangers
This time I made sure the last book really IS out and ready to be read!! A bunch of kids with various psychic powers chased down by very bad guys and all the ins and outs involved. Great characters! Love the narrator, Kate Rudd, she gives so much to the story!

I really, really enjoyed this sequel, and I absolutely cannot wait for the next one! Rysa Walker is great at leaving books on huge cliffhangers, which drives me crazy, but always leaves me waiting for more. I brought it down half a star just because of some difficulty holding my attention, but once I really got into it, I was hooked.

Just as good or better than the first. Rysa Walker came in to my life after I chose her first book in the Chronos Files series as my free Kindle First book last year. She has now become one of my favorite authors. She has this way of creating complex plots and characters that feels right. This new series is no different. The characters are rich and flawed. The "sci-fi" is really interesting.
I cannot wait for the last book in the series and to see what Walker does next!

I wrote my review for both the 1st and 2nd books together in one post, originally posted on my blog: https://sorryiambooked.wordpress.com/2018/01/08/book-review-the-delphi-trilogy-books-1-2-by-rysa-walker/
This book, the second in the trilogy, did not disappoint. At all.
There’s so much more action, a few more good twists thrown in, and more information regarding Anna’s past and just the world itself.
While there is more action and just more progression in general to the story, there are slow parts in the book, but honestly I don’t remember it hindering my reading experience.
One of the biggest aspects to this book is Anna’s power evolving. She’s learning more about it, she’s getting closer to where she came from, but she’s also having more internal struggles. At one point she has more than one ‘hitchhiker’ inside her head, which adds a new element into the mix. But it means that she struggles with not losing herself either; I really enjoyed this because it added another layer of sorts to her character.
