Reviews of Bright Eyes: Once again David Kudler has fully succeeded
as a novelist with a genuine flair for historical fiction populated
by memorably crafted characters and decidedly entertaining plot
twists and turns. Like the first novel in the author's 'Seasons of
the Sword' series, Bright Eyes is imaginative, original,
exceptionally well written, and highly recommended - Midwest Book
Review
David Kudler crafts an enthralling. unputdownable tale due in no
small part to his outstanding world building. He ties enough
aspects of real-life feudal Japanese culture to give the perfect
balance of reality in this fictional world. [...] The well-crafted
mystery, well-honed history and world-building, and Risuko's
adventurousness leave the reader wanting more. - Shailyn Rogers,
Ind'Tale Magazine
Praise for Risuko (Seasons of the Sword #1): Risuko is an artfully
crafted novel that evokes a heavy sense of place and
enchantment...Risuko's development and evolution are fascinating to
watch in this powerful and relentless coming-of-age adventure. -
