This was a good read! I love seeing everything that happens with Miriam's character, and I'm excited to start Thunderbird.
You're no girl. You're a bad-ass woman. You're a hunter. A killer. You're the river breaker. You're fate's foe.
Miriam Black is back and she's as foul-mouthed and snarky as ever! Oh, it's good to be back in her world; the wait between finishing Mockingbird and having The Cormorant in my hands was painful. I'm pretty sure now that Miriam takes the cake as my favourite main female character from a series ever.
While this book isn't my favourite of the series so far, it was still just as entertaining, gritty and gory, and I seriously struggled to put it down. I really liked the new characters who were introduced, especially Sugar - I hope we get to see more of her sometime! I also really enjoyed the current-day scenes between Miriam and her mother, Evelyn; those were probably the highlights for me!
Now the wait for Thunderbird begins

I've loved every book in this series so completely. I can't recommend it enough if you like gritty, foul-mouthed urban fantasy.
More twists and turns from the Miriam Black series! The beginning was a little slow in terms of action, but it's always fun to be in Miriam's head and seeing what goes on there. Once the inciting incident occurs (one I did not expect), it's pretty much the full throttle pace I expect from Wendig now. The villain was a shock, as was his advantage. I loved the extension of Miriam's powers and how they were used. The violence and language were just as brutal as ever, but there was nothing about this story I didn't love. And the ending, while not a cliffhanger in the traditional sense, definitely has me wanting more! Loved this read!
Damn, I still want to club Miriam Black with a baseball bat, but somehow Wendig makes me care for her.
*shakes fist*
Having said that, this series grows better with each book. Wendig is starting to answer big questions regarding Miriam's bizarre abilities, which adds even more spice to her character. Looking forward to the next installment.

I am back to lovin' Miriam. This was great. I slightly recalled the last 2 books. So a refresher course was not really necessary. What I didn't remember in the last book does not really take away from this story and how it progresses. Miriam's hard-ass ways and crass manner was crude and vile and I friggin love it. I like how this one ended and am excited to continue and find out what happens next.

Wendig writes a great mystery! Also I did not realize this was part of a series until like 160 pages in. It didn't super matter in a lot of ways, but in others it kind of did.
Anyway, Miriam is a cool and gross character in the vein of Eleanor Shellstrop and I like that about her.

Wow. I normally don't like present tense, but this just sucked me in and swallowed me whole. Sorta like the birds...well, you'll see. Fascinating story, fascinating protagonist. Hints of supernatural things wrapped up in dark deeds and noble attempts. Miriam isn't exactly a nice woman, but deep down she is ok. She wants to do right...even if her gift steers her wrong sometimes. If she touches you, she sees how and when you die. And it turns out she's not the only one with a curse like that. She's up against someone with a gift that devastating and seemingly all powerful. So what's a girl to do?
Read it! Find out! (Read the first one if you haven't, it's awesome). And yes, expect naughty words. Because Miriam uses them. A lot. If you don't like cuss words, don't read this. Seriously. But if you like a real protagonist who isn't afraid to let her flag fly, then check this out. It's a dark and engrossing journey.
