Bright Eyes: A Kunoichi Tale by David Kudler, David Kudler
5.0
Wow, this Risuko’s sequel was living up my expectations! It was gripping from the start, more action-packed, more character development, and more mystery elements added.
Bright Eyes tells more about Risuko’s everyday life in Full Moon (a school for kunoichi) after she’s become initiates. But, in this sequel, Risuko is facing a murder mystery, warlords, suspicion about a spy among kunoichi, and dealing with the truth about her father. More characters involved here, making the plot more complicated and exciting.
Just a thought about the titles in this series. The first book titled Risuko, second is Bright Eyes (her nickname given by Kee Sun, the cook), and the next book is Kano (Risuko’s family name). I think that the titles are depicting the development of Risuko as she lived up her all name and nicknames. Risuko (Book 1) is about her as ‘squirrel’, jumping from her home to the Full Moon. Bright Eyes is about her as initiates, with improved skill and intuition, and how her ‘bright eyes’ see the little details and helps solve the murder mystery. Next is Kano and I think it will going to be about her living up her father’s name and her fight to return his father’s honor. I really can’t wait for the next book to come!
