Description Toward Books Agatha H and the Airship City (Girl Genius Novels #1)

Adventure! Romance! Mad Science!

The Industrial Revolution has escalated into all-out warfare. It has been eighteen years since the Heterodyne Boys, benevolent adventurers and inventors, disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Today, Europe is ruled by the Sparks, dynasties of mad scientists ruling over—and terrorizing—the hapless population with their bizarre inventions and unchecked power, while the downtrodden dream of the Hetrodynes’ return.

At Transylvania Polygnostic University, a pretty, young student named Agatha Clay seems to have nothing but bad luck. Incapable of building anything that actually works, but dedicated to her studies, Agatha seems destined for a lackluster career as a minor lab assistant. But when the University is overthrown by the ruthless tyrant Baron Klaus Wulfenbach, Agatha finds herself a prisoner aboard his massive airship Castle Wulfenbach—and it begins to look like she might carry a spark of Mad Science after all.

From Phil and Kaja Foglio, creators of the Hugo, Eagle, and Eisner Award-nominated webcomic Girl Genius, comes Agatha H and the Airship City, a gaslamp fantasy filled to bursting with Adventure! Romance! and Mad Science!

Weigh Up Epithetical Books Agatha H and the Airship City (Girl Genius Novels #1)

The worst part about this book? Trying new ways to stifle the chuckles and outright guffaws that manage to slip free while reading.What a brilliant reintroduction to the Girl Genius world and characters! It is sure make old fans chortle merrily as they flip through the pages, and will attract new fans. For folks who like large doses of mad science and humor with their steampunk there never was a greater creation than Girl Genius.Agatha H and the Airship City is, essentially, a relaunch of the

I have been looking forward to this ever since I got to interview the Foglios for Galactic Suburbia way back at Aussiecon4, when they announced they'd been given a deal with Night Shade Books for the novels.Actually, in some ways I have been looking forward to this for even longer: I first read about Agatha Clay in Girl Genius vol 9, the Hugo-nominated (and winning!) graphic novel. I had never heard of it before I got it in the Hugo packet, and... well... it was love. Pure, sweet, love. I read

This book was OK, but not wonderful. I am not really familiar with the Girl Genius comics, but this book still did not meet my expectations. I don't know, from the title, the cover, and the description I had really high expectations. For some reason, I imagined it would be humorous throughout and it had a few amusing parts (the Jaegermonsters were the best), but was not on the whole a humorous book. The steampunk setting was great, but the plot was hard to follow at certain points. And the

I really liked this book and the sequel, Agatha H and the Clockwork Princess (review to follow). Since it was originally a comic, theres a strong sense of imagery to the novel. Its very easy to picture Agatha and her world in your mind. Phil and Kaja Foglio call it a gaslamp fantasy, instead of steampunk, since biology is a technology as well as mechanics. Agatha is a strong-minded young woman literally discovering who she is. Her family has lied to her for her entire life, and her beloved

Agatha H. and the Airship City is a delightful book of tongue in cheek heroism set in a Steampunk alternate reality version of Europe. Mad scientists with bizarre names, a wealth of robotic constructions and the very funny Jagermonsters populate the pages. I kept bursting into giggles as I devoured this wonderful book, which I assume is the first in what should be a very popular series. Agatha is intelligent, likeable, creative and stands up for herself, but is also rather volitile. The other

Story: B+Narration: ASometimes I like a book because the writing is evocative or a character resonates with me. Sometimes the descriptions are so eloquent I cant help but be in awe of the writers skill. Sometimes theres a breakneck current of action that sweeps me past any less-than-stellar-writing rocks. Sometimes, I come across a book that is just plain downright fun. Agatha H and the Airship City is that kind of audiobook. It is chock full of mildly amusing lines that are delivered with more

First things first: for the uninitiated, this is the novel version of Girl Genius, a 14 year-old webcomic with 3 Hugo wins under its belt. It's a wacky steampunk story with a visual trend towards pinup anatomy, which makes it hard to get into for some, but the story develops interestingly and is well worth the effort. If you pick up the books and find yourself wanting to know what happens next - the comic is free! Go read it!Review-wise: I've read the comic, but the last time I was caught up
