The Second Journey of Agatha Heterodyne: Book One: The Beast of the Rails

Fun - well, of course, it's a Girl Genius. And this was a reread, of sorts - I've read it online as it comes out, long before I got this Kickstarted book. But I seem to see more reading in paper form. Agatha is dealing with a whole new set of plots and twisty minds, though one plotter seems to have removed herself by the end of the book. I don't guarantee it's so...but Violetta did declare her dead. Several lovely little bits, with Violetta, the Brit, Dimo, Zeetha...Agatha gets to be a little bit Sparky, though mostly she restrains herself. And it ends in a cliffhanger, in the middle of a battle. Next, please!

I enjoyed this rather more than my online sampling of pages Second Journeys lead me to believe I would. I certainly hadn't read and /or remembered enough to get much of an idea of the action in this part of the story and I'm hoping that the case for the Paris section I've just started. Lots of humor and wonderful little background bits.

Another Excellent editions to the Girl Genius series. While I can read them online, I wait until they print each book so I can read them in batches.

Here Agatha has a plan to go to Paris to try and find a way to restart time in her Mechanicsburg. It also appears everyone s searching for her, and another one of the Storm King's family is causing a bunch of trouble for reasons unknown.

Zoals gebruikelijk een aaneenschakeling van gebeurtenissen met intriges van alle kanten, niemand is te vertrouwen, alles kan net anders zijn dan je denkt en dan ook nog al die wonderlijke machines en wezens die het tegen elkaar opnemen. Een groot lees- en kijkfeest.
