Bright Eyes

Seasons of the Sword, Book 2

By: David Kudler

Narrated by: Allison Hiroto

Can one girl stop a killer?

The future of Japan hangs in the balance, and it's up to a girl who likes to climb to save the day

Two armies have descended on the Full Moon, and the war that has torn Japan apart for over a century threatens to destroy Lady Chiyome's school for young shrine maidens (and assassins).

In this thrilling sequel to Risuko: A Kunoichi Tale, Risuko must face warlords, samurai, angry cooks, a monster in the hills, the truth about her father, a spy among the kunoichi...

And a murderer.

Someone kills a Takeda lieutenant, staging it to look like suicide. Can Risuko figure out who would do such thing?

And can she keep it from happening again?

Climbing higher and higher!

Loved the first book and the second book is even better! Risuko and her friends are growing, dealing with more and more challenging problems -- invading armies, spies, battling cooks, and not one but two murders. The story swept me along, and I loved the narrator, who does a wonderful job of bringing the various characters to life.

Can't wait for book 3!
