New Book Review (Finally!)

I have finally finished Eon, i had a lot of stuff going on between readings so i wasn't able to finish a fast a i had hoped, but i did finish. Now, on to the review.

Eon (Dragoneye Reborn Series Book #1 of 2) by Alison Goodman



















Paperback 576 pages
Read: Feb. 9 - Feb. 16
Rating: 4/5
Genres: Young Adult, Fantasy, Adventure, Action, Mythology
Summery: For years, Eon's life has been focused on magical study and sword-work, with one goal: that he be chosen as a Dragoneye, an apprentice to one of the twelve energy dragons of good fortune.
But Eon has a dangerous secret. He is actually Eona, a sixteen-year-old girl who has been masquerading as a twelve-year-old boy. Females are forbidden to use Dragon Magic; the penalty is death.
When Eon's secret threatens to come to light, she and her allies are plunged into grave danger and a  struggle for the Imperial throne. Eona must find the strength and inner power to battle those who want to take her magic...and her life.

Review: Eon(a) has been studying and training for two years to be chosen by a Dragon (the Rat Dragon) to become a apprentice Dragoneye, she is also a cripple (in her own words). I really enjoyed Eon(a) as a character, but Lady Dela happened to be my favorite, she is a Contraire (transsexual),  Lady Dela's interactions with Ryko were my favorite parts of the book. There were a few parts specifically one involving Eon(a) and Lord Ido talking about the Dragon power that bothered me for a chapter or two, while i did not enjoy it i understand why it was there. I really enjoyed the book and can't wait to read the sequel, which is up next!

Hope everybody had/has a good day.
