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.

Re: Gil

[lightningnettle.livejournal.com]

I agree that Gil is being deliberately bereft of his family, friends, and base of support right now. Both the others have already been through this, though Gil is working on restoring Agatha's family. Both the others grew from the experience, but it's not a pleasant way to mature, even though needed for the story.

One of the things I adore about Gil is his playfulness; I hope he doesn't lose it in this arc, it would be good to see him help Tarvek play again.

I believe Agatha will help Tarvek learn that he is loved and supported, she is very loyal. Whether it ends in a romantic relationship at the end or not, I think she will continue to love him at least as a friend. It is something that needs time and experience to really sink in. Tarvek now has significantly nicer allies than he had before, something I think will make him a much happier person overall.
