one of my favorite Girl Genius stories so far. great story and I'm on the edge of my seat to see what comes next. ( )

This is the 7th TP book in the Girl Genius series. This continues to be a super fun and laugh-out-loud series filled with fantasy, steampunk goodness, and a little romance.

Agatha has finally arrived in Mechanicsburg and is hoping to finally enter the mechanical fortress that was home to the Heterodyne’s for many years. Of course things get complicated when another girl claiming to be Agatha shows up. And then of course there is the fact that the Heterodyne fortress is always trying to kill people. Oh, yeah and Baron Wulfenbach is convalescing in Mechanicsburg too…

This graphic novel is filled with the crazy bright illustrations that fit the insane story so well. When I first started reading this series I wasn’t a huge fan of the illustration style, but I have to say I have grown kind of fond of it over the last few books...it just fits the story so perfectly.

Agatha continues to do amazing mechanical things (like making super efficient coffee makers). And now she has found a whole city of people who live to serve the Heterodynes...it makes for an explosive combination.

Krosp the emperor of cats is still there along with the rest of our favorite characters. I loved the Heterodyne castle and all of its oddities; this was just awesome fun.

I love that a synopsis of “the story thus far” is included in the beginning of the graphic novel as well.

I can’t recommend this series enough it is just so much fun. There is a lot of action, wonderful steampunk elements, fantasy elements, general shenanigans, wonderful characters, and a tiny bit of romance as well. This is just a spectacular graphic novel series. Highly recommended to graphic novel fans especially those who like humor and steampunk elements. ( )

This is the 7th book in the Girl Genius series. Agatha has made it into Mechanicsberg and is trying to find a way into the castle so she can claim her families legacy. A fake has beat her inside with the intentions of shutting the castle down. Agatha needs to get inside, convince the castle she's the heir, fix it and avoid the fake heir and her lackey's. Just getting is a bit of a challenge.

Girl Genius is a web comic about a mad scientists who seem to be able to break the laws of physics, and it all happens in a gaslight/steampunkish universe. Great art, great story and lots of fun. ( )

The ongoing adventures of Agatha Heterodyne, a young scientific genius in a World Gone Mad! Adventure! Romance! Mad Science! This is gorgeous. The illustrations are beautiful, the story is amusing, interesting and self-aware and I am utterly in love. http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/comic.php

Agatha Heterodyne arrives in Mechanicsburg, her family's ancestral home, to find that it has become a locale of contention for at least three major European powers. She must prove her own claim to the throne of Mechanicsburg, while the Wulfenbachs have their own challenge of keeping Europe's powers erupting into chaos.

The Foglios continue to deftly balance drama and humor, with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments interspersed in a large-scale plot. ( )
