A novelization of the second major Story Arc of the award-winning webcomic series Girl Genius. It follows the webcomic very closely, often having a distinct 1:1 mapping between panel and paragraph, but it does have a few interesting departures, omissions, and expansions.
Tropes used in Agatha H and The Clockwork Princess include:
- Adaptation Expansion: More than in Agatha H and The Airship City
- Author Avatar: Professor Phil Folgio appears in the book.
- Bottled Heroic Resolve: Lucrezia indulges.
- Dirty Business: Wooster realizes this after the fact.
- Footnote Fever: Footnotes explain on points and backstory.
- I Just Want to Be Normal: Jagers take up human hobbies to reconnect with their lost humanity.
- I Want Grandkids: One Jager in fact wants great-great-great grandchildren.
- Literary Agent Hypothesis: The footnotes — and Folgio's own appearance — treat this as a history the authors are compiled.
