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.

Sturmhalten & Andronicus

[lightningnettle.livejournal.com]

I'd always thought of Sturmhalten as the center of a small principality. I was rather astonished when it was described as the place that stopped the Heterodyne in the prologue. It must be a much stronger castle than my initial impression; bringing Tarvek's base more in line with Agatha's Castle and Gil's Castle. Riddled with secret doors and passageways. I'd love to get a tour of it during peacetime.

And Andronicus, Tarvek all grown up and dangerous, full of twisty backroom deals. Those two would get along just fine.

LOL. Yes. Sturmhalten is much more clearly a regional power, not merely a very common Eastern European armpit principality.


Tarvek's definitely, absolutely Andronicus' descendent. Oh, and did you notice the fashion sense is apparently a family thing? I was amused. Anevka and Selnikov are also both very concerned with their toggery: a family that likes to dress nice, and play the part in style.

I hadn't noticed the family fashion sense, that's cute!

And poor Violetta doesn't get to participate! No wonder she goes on about the pretty dress.
