Chuck Wendig: Cormorant (2013, Watkins Media Limited) 4 stars

Review of 'Cormorant' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

Good ol' Miriam Black is still as filthy-mouthed as ever in this third book of the Miriam Black series. Quality is still as good as in the first two books, if you like the style at all, but the story about Miriam fighting against someone who willingly lured her to Florida didn't quite grab me as the ritualistic serial murders from the previous book.

I had high hopes when it came to Miriam being reunited with her mother, seeing as most of her issues stem back to her childhood, but alas, that fell flat. I would have liked to learn more about Evelyn Black.

All in all, this book felt a bit rushed to me, a bit too short. I would have preferred more details, but it's all a mad dash to the end, with some characters feeling just like a backdrop instead of being a fully-fleshed character. Still, I liked it quite fine, just not as much as the first two books in the series.
