'Misao is the bride of prophecy whose blood gives power to the demon who claims her. But most demons want to keep her power for themselves - by eating her! Now Misao is just trying to stay alive...'
In this volume, things got a lot more interesting. Even though I disliked the Sho storyline last volume, this volume focused on it a lot more and I found myself enjoying it.

I am so ashamed of my investment in this series. ;_; I can't even make people read it with me because when I try to sell it I'm like 'oh the romance starts off with the heroine being sexually harassed by this crow demon who is constantly making sure she's aware of how much power he has over her and at one point flies her into the air while she's screaming so she knows she's totally dependant on him to survive and eventually this translates to love? But don't worry! After the first nine volumes o...more

Another great addition to this series. The last volume ended with Sho plotting to take down the Daitengu (Kyo’s warriors). I have to say, even if Sho is evil, he makes this series so much more interesting. It really seems as if the focus has shifted away from Kyo and Misao and to the conflict Sho is creating. He targets three of Kyo’s Daitengu, trying to find the chink in Kyo’s armour. There’s more back story on Ayame and Sagami and vows they made to each other before they married. There’s also...more

Now, we're talking. Black Bird, Volume 12 finally steps it up and delivers a compelling, action-packed good time. I feel like I've waited over eight volumes for this story to happen, but it was well worth the wait. This might be my favorite volume of the series so far.
Sho is leaving a path of destruction and confusion behind him, but his insatiable appetite for chaos seems to have no end. (view spoiler)...more

Sho begins his attempts to tear the Daitengu apart, beginning with Sagami. However, the bond between Kyo and Sagami is too even strong, even when Ayame is placed in danger. But Sho does have better luck with Zenki, who's past harbors a dark and terrible secret, one that threatens to tear apart the Kyo and Misao's entire world. As usual, Volume 12 ends on a terrible cliffhanger, one that makes me wonder if there might soon be a death of someone very dear Misao. A good volume, one that really adva...more
This was a fantastic volume in the Black Bird series. Actually I think this is the best volume of them all.
War, death, betrayal, sacrifice, love, promises, faith. Seriously. This was a jam packed installment.
Our characters are becoming embroiled in an all out civil war with innocent casualties and some crazy twists and turns involving betrayals from some of those closest to Kyo.
I liked this volume so much I read it 2x right in a row. Seriously if you have considered reading this series I hope...more

~3.5 or 4/5
This is such a... long series. It's seeming to be dragging out, and I'm not enjoying the volumes as much as I'd like to. On a good note, though, this one was a bit better than the last few have been.
Hoki got hurt in the last volume, and so has to stay and protect Misao while everyone else goes out to fight, since the village is under attack. There's a spell on the village that creates some kind of maze that doesn't let anyone into the village, and some children trying to find Misao ge...more

It was Awesome.
I Like the part when Zenki tuned into a non stop killing demon, was kind of sad to.
I did not like it when hoki betrayed them to go work for Sho though, but I will try to understand why he did that. The man who wished Misao didn't show up in their lifes, that was so mean, happy when Kyo tryed to help her out by saying some words back to him.
The book was really great though.

A really great installment in a series that I'm absolutely addicted to. I really am so glad that there's more of a focus on the Tengu, particularly the bonds between Kyo and his clan. Also the romance between Kyo and Misao has become more relaxed and sweet rather than somewhat weirdly obsessive and discomfiting. I am also very concerned for Hoki and longing for volume 13!
In this book Kyo left Misao for a mission that he was on. He got trapped in a mazy and there is no way out. They think that they are left there to rot. Kyo is the clan leader and not he has to think of a plan to get them out. After a while he came up with a plan but it failed and the were stuck there for 3 days without food and water.
Ooooh, we have a heartbreaking betrayal, followed by another surprising revelation...and there is a battle gearing up.
My heart broke over Zenki and I like how Kyo handled it. There were some really endearing moments in this volume that had nothing to do with Kyo and Misao.

Argh, I thought this was the end! But no... there are at least three more volumes, so I guess I'll have to try and find them somewhere. I must have a happy ending, darnit!
Mm, I do enjoy watching good guys go temporarily bad (especially if they're faking and/or it's beyond their control).
FYI I'm not really reading the Spanish edition. I just couldn't find the English one.
This was a good book, the contents were good as usual :)
I think I read this book 5 times.
Love this series!
it was ok
want to read
amazing!
Much is revealed about some of the characters and there was a lot of action, but it was too tidy. Things were resolved too quickly and I feel like I'm being told rather than shown.
:)
I really like Black Bird. Though it does have it's character flaws I love how suspenseful and fast paced the story is. The cliff hangers are enough to keep me coming back to see what happens next and the good story line is just a bonus.
finally the story gets more interesting then just misao being shy and confused about kyo and kyo trying to grope her all the time.
It was such an intense book.....can't wait for the next one.....poor hoki!!!!and zenki!!!!!
This one was all about how Zenki fits in to the series. I feel so sorry for him!
I really like Zenki and this explores just a bit more about this particular Tengu.
