The illustrations were a bit dark but I did enjoy the story. Miss Endicott is a great character with an unusual use for knitting needles. It is a shame that the book leaves so many plot points in the air, but it is part 1. Now I need to get Part 2.
4 StarsThanks to Netgally and Europe Comics for letting me read this eARC. I'm glad it was still available for request, still it released in September last year. The release last year was for the English translation, but this story has actually been out in the world much longer - according to Goodreads, since 2007. After her mother's death, Miss Endicott takes over her mother's position as conciliator. She's got big shoes to fill. Her mother was well-loved in the community, but Miss Endicott is
Note: I received a digital review copy of this book from the publisher through NetGalley.
J’ai bien accroché à ce premier tome très rythmé et très intense. Si Prudence n’est pas mon personnage préféré, j’ai par contre adoré Karl et Darren, les vagabonds qui la suivent à la trace.J’aime beaucoup l’atmosphère dégagée par le dessin. Que ce soit pour la ville du haut ou les sous sols, on se retrouve toujours en adéquation avec l’action en cours.On navigue avec bonheur dans les ruelles biscornues d’un Londres qui prend vie dans les pubs et les parcs.Une jolie Angleterre victorienne dans l...
C'est tout à fait mignon. Le scénario est riche en rebondissements, les personnages sont bien marqués et sympathiques, le dessin est charmant. Hâte de lire le deuxième tome.
Miss Endicott, both the book and the character, has charm. Prudence is clever, witty, and capable. But I'm bothered by some of the tropes. Why does she need to be a governess and a conciliator? It feels like it is getting in the way of the story.
Miss Endicott is everything a young woman should be and more.Loved the little secrets, the mystery, the colourful graphics.Well paced and so interesting.
Miss Endicott – Vol. One is a bit of an odd duck.Officially, Prudence Endicott returned to London to bury her mother and take up a position as a governess. But the women of the family have their little secrets and Prudence inherited the heavy task of becoming the new "conciliator" of the English capital. The principle is simple: solve people's problems! Even if it means defying the people of the Forgotten who reign over underground London? Prudence sure misses a lot of sleep doing two jobs and i...
I pick up the odd graphic novel or two whenever I get the chance. It does make my reading numbers for any given year seem bigger than they are, but that's another story. I made a mistake with this one! Not because the story was not interesting but because it is only part one of two and there is no way I can get my hands on part two! If I did, I might have enjoyed this more.Miss Endicott has taken over her mother's mysterious role in a very shady part of town. She is also daylighting as a nanny f...
Set in a Victorian London, with towering architecture, narrow streets and long shadows, a young woman returns from travels abroad to take up the role of a nanny. What she doesn’t expect is to arrive back in time for her own mother’s funeral, and now she is expected to also fill those shoes as well. The mother was the city’s Conciliator, a role for which she defended the poor from various wrongs. Like a 19th Century superhero, it is a task carried out at night, with significantly fewer capes, mas...
I really liked this, probably because I am sucker for creepy Victorian stories set in England. I liked the no-nonsense character of Miss Endicott Jr. and her struggle to basically try to live two lives in order to attempt to live up with her deceased mother's expectations and her legacy.
I received a review copy by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.Miss Endicott's mother's dead and so she take on her business, a nanny during the day and an investigator/helper of those in need during the night. Set in 19th century London, the idea seems promising but the delivery is luke-warm. The art style was really not my thing. Most faces look similar with over-accentuated proportions like gigantic chins, bolbuous noses, and teene-tiny lips and eyes. It's not a part...
Perfect for my friends who love graphic novels + period dramas + knitting.
This dark version of Mary Poppins is thoroughly enjoyable but far too short. Miss Endicott is a governess by day and a conciliator by night. She has stepped into her dead mother's shoes in order to take on the mystery solving role of conciliator, but the work is harder than it seems and as Miss Endicott does her work she comes across a plan to hurt the city. Of course she needs to prevent this.Unfortunately this engaging story is told across two volumes and the second volume has not yet been pub...
A book that surprised, entertained and almost charmed, yet certainly managed to raise an eyebrow. A new arrival in town – here to inherit from her mother whose funeral she's only just got to in time – is a sparky young redhead, who is immediately becoming nanny to a young whipper-snapper nobody can control, and a sort of private eye for the neighbourhood, working at night on a pro bono basis as her elderly mother did. The boy that nobody can manage is putty in her hands, but as for the denizens
