Praise for Tree of Eyes ""This sophomore installment, following Eye in the Blue Box (2025), moves at a slow and deliberate pace, notwithstanding a handful of impeccable action sequences. Kim uses the opportunity to dive deeply into characterization ... There's plenty of tension as well, as getting to the Red Calf necessitates encounters with vicious individuals and, in one Crew member's case, entering a dangerous tournament. Other highlights include ... well-earned, heartfelt moments as the characters' bonds strengthen further. An absorbing, well-developed entry in a remarkable ongoing saga.""-Kirkus Reviews ""Here, interpersonal tension isn't a pause between battles; it's another front in the war ... Kim's prose swings between dense sensory description and sharp, breathless lines-mirroring the jolt and lull of combat ... This stylistic range makes the book's relentless pace feel earned ... [The] focus on the core crew keeps the emotional throughline sharp, grounded in authentic Korean-American details ... The novel's second half shifts from tense buildup to full-scale payoff ... This leg of the Eyes of Awakening series delivers constant conflict, shifting loyalties, and moments that upend what the characters thought they knew.""-IndieReader (IR Approved)
