Agatha H. and the Airship City review
Phil and Kaja Foglio have turned the first part of the perennial Hugo-nominated webcomic
Girl Genius into a novel. The first three volumes of the webcomic get the prose treatment in
Agatha H. and the Airship City.
I'll pass on explaining the plot, and just let you go read
http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/ instead.
The book almost exactly like the comic. It's as if someone transcribed the dialogue and added descriptions of what was going on in the comic panels. That's an oversimplifica
tion, of course. The writing is solid, but not particularly noteworthy. There's very little in the novel that is not in the comic. If you expected further character development or a bit more delving into the setting, you won't find much (if any). Still, it's a quick and fun read.
