Bright Eyes: A Kunoichi Tale by David Kudler, David Kudler

4.0

I have received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Bright Eyes is the second installment within the Swords of the Seasons series. Just like in the first book, we are still following Risuko. Unlike the first book, though, things did not hit any bumps in the road or get boring. Which, yes, I was very thankful for because I could see the potential lurking in the corners.

She definitely hits the ground running after initiating. So, it's pretty safe to state that is constantly challenged and always learning. Through in a murder mystery to solve and I was completely hooked. It also didn't hurt that we met a bunch of new people which ended up making me oddly suspicious of every little thing.

Besides all of the action, we also get some secrets revealed. I've been dying to figure out everything about her father and family. Now that we know what we know, I'm secretly wishing for the next book to fall into my lap.

In the end, I definitely enjoyed the heck out of this book. So happy that I found this series and look forward to Risuko's next adventure!
