review 1: In volume 8 of Agatha Heterodyne's exciting adventures, Agatha is back in her family seat of Mechanicsberg but to hold it, she'll need the help of the (sentient) castle, which means getting inside it and repairing it, while dealing with the fractured mind that mostly wants to kill things. Meanwhile, Gil Wulfenbach has to hold the rest of the town together, and fend off his father, long enough to let her do her work.Fun, quick to read and so much more coherent to those with a short memory than a page three times a week. The love triangle between Agatha, Gil and Tarvek is starting to come to the fore, and it's both hilarious and sweet. The art continues to be lovely and the story is engaging and highly entertaining. What's not to like?
review 2: "Agatha Heter... moreodyne is struggling with the legacy of her family castle, which has a mind of its own (or several minds, as it turns out); meanwhile Gilgamesh Wulfenbach is trying to break into the castle and rescue her, against the wishes of his father the baron. The Foglio art style is distinctive (and a bit of googling revealed why I thought it looked familiar); the plotting and scrioting decent enough. It's a fun romp, but difficult to appreciate without having read the first seven volumes. Unlike the other Hugo nominees this hasn't yet been published in a single edition, so you have to read it off the website; no doubt the eventual dead trees version will have some explanatory front matter." less
