Agatha Heterodyne and the Beetleburg Clank by Phil Foglio
3.0
Oh baby thank you so much for being short. Great story! On a day I was less busy I would've been happy to read a volume twice the size. But I am super tired and have a cover letter to write and three assorted course readings to wade through. I am really reconsidering this book and review a day goal people. Possibly it was overly ambitious. And by ambitious I mean ill thought out. And by ill thought out I mean wow did I ever overestimate my time management abilities.
ANYWAYS
Girl Genius follows the adventures of Agatha Clay, a lab assistant sadly lacking in the Spark, that bit of Mad Genius highly prized in her alternate universe industrial age world. Judging by the mysterious locket of her parents, the references to the lately departed Mad Scientist family Heterodyne, and the bit where the book starts off with some guy telling children a brand new Heterodyne story and flashes to Agatha we can all guess where this is going yes? Yes.
Fun world! I think this is the sort of thing people are talking about when they go on about steampunk. I approve. Looking forward to further long lost Mad Scientific royalty adventures as soon as Agatha works out her past. 3.5 stars
