Editorial Reviews

It’s a pleasure to follow the exploits of one of my favourite sleuths, Daidoji Shin... I love the voice of Shin – languid, biting, self deprecating – he slays me with his many humorous lines.

Eyes to See

Death’s Kiss is another brilliant Rokugan story from Josh Reynolds, a fast-paced, intricately-plotted and highly rewarding journey through the Legend of the Five Rings setting, in the company of a charming, debonair protagonist with hidden depths and a knack for witty dialogue and amusing asides.
