Discussion thread for Agatha H. and the Clockwork Princess. Beware, Here There be SPOILERS

[hippogrif]

Welcome.

This is a thread for discussing the Girl Genius novelization Agatha H. and the Clockwork Princess, as well as all Girl Genius in general. The subject matter is the property of Phil and Kaja Foglio.

No spoilers are required in this thread. The assumption is you've read the material already. That is why this thread exists--to provide a place for people to talk without having to try to avoid giving away secrets.

I own this account. If you're rude or a jackass, I will delete your post. If you're debating in good faith and not annoying the natives, I won't. If people really can't behave, I'll delete the whole fershlugginer thread.

Have fun. Talk at will. If you don't want spoilers, run away now.

Hippogrif.

I would guess that many of those nurses, tutors etc. did give their young charges at least some affection; it's hard not to love little kids. So it's tough on Tarvek that none of his did (were allowed to?).

Interesting idea that he may have seen Anevka as a "protecting angel"; not a particularly loving one though. Perhaps that's another reason he worked so hard to save her, protect her.

Agatha will do her best to give him a happy future, not necessarily the one he most desires with her; but she has real affection for him and she would be a mama bear to protect him from harm. Plus, the Foglios *like* their characters and have created an optimistic world, I think he will have a good future, they just don't want to give anything away yet. I will continue to trust them.
