À propos de cet audio
The Industrial Revolution has escalated into all-out warfare. Sixteen years have passed since the Heterodyne Boys, benevolent adventurers and inventors, disappeared under mysterious circumstances. Today, Europe is ruled by the Sparks, dynasties of mad scientists ruling over - and terrorizing - the hapless population with their bizarre inventions and unchecked power, while the downtrodden dream of the Heterodynes’ return.
At Transylvania Polygnostic University, a pretty, young student named Agatha Clay seems to have nothing but bad luck. Incapable of building anything that actually works, but dedicated to her studies, Agatha seems destined for a lackluster career as a minor lab assistant. But when the university is overthrown by the ruthless tyrant Baron Klaus Wulfenbach, Agatha finds herself a prisoner aboard his massive airship Castle Wulfenbach - and it begins to look like she might carry a spark of Mad Science after all.
From Phil and Kaja Foglio, creators of the Hugo, Eagle, and Eisner Award-nominated webcomic Girl Genius, comes Agatha H. and the Airship City, a gaslamp fantasy filled to bursting with Adventure! - Romance! - and Mad Science!

Dave's performance started out very stilted and monotone for the first few minutes, but as the book progressed she brought the characters into rich, full-bodied people.

From comic to book to audiobook

The story here started as a print comic, black and white, mailed by them to their subscribers. In time it became in colour, then on the web as well as briefly having a couple of audio adventures preformed by the artists and others.
The only thing that would have made this presentation better is if they had been able to get that group together to preform the audiobook.
As for the story itself, it is a sort of coming of age tale for we find our main character waking up to her role in the world ruled by mad science. In this tale much of that larger world is only hinted at as Agatha has had a sheltered upbringing. But we do see the roots of the larger tale that begins here.
Structurally, the tale started as a comic with a minor cliffhanger/reason to flip the page occurring in the lower right corner of the two page spread. Being familiar with the books I can feel those tease pages that drive one to read just a little bit more.
I own the novel, but I think listening to it from audible will become the most frequent way I revisit this story.
Really worth listening to, but if you aren’t sure if it’s for you the website can give you a feel.
