Eona

...and I can bravely say that Eona is one of the best YA sequels I have ever read.

Lord Ido FTW!
Man, I love my villains.

Eona is very different from Eon: Dragoneye Reborn. More fast-paced, better character development, and even an effective love triangle. Oh, how I revel in the romance here!

I did not expect a love triangle, not really. For this type of fantasy will rely on the world building and the decisive plot for it to become enchanting in my eyes. And yet, the entangling relationships between Eona, Kygo and Ido were inherent in releasing the power of the dragons. Alison Goodman, how the H did you do that?

I liked that Eona was not as gullible and a pushover than when she was Eon. It was a tremendous relief that Eona was finally learning that lies, no matter how good is the intention, will never be better than the truth. She said she was done with lying, with living a stolen life. There you go, Eona. And what a fantastic story you gave me.

Sure I like Kygo. But it was a fleeting crush on a forbidden prince. With Ido, it was... an obsession. A very unhealthy need to make him MINE! Ahem. *flips hair* Let's face it. Ido's swoon-worthy moments with Eona are hotter than Kygo's. Oh yes, I'd rather have the Dragoneye than the Emperor, thank you very much!

I would've given Eona a 5, but there was little union with Eona and her Mirror Dragon. I'm expecting more of that. And I would've liked it more if Eona ended up with Ido. Why? I found it more powerful if Eona made Ido change for the better, if she was reason enough for Ido to choose love over power. Knowing Eona's influence over him was far stronger and deeper than he deserved. You know? The ending would've been stunning! But that's just me.

Eona was an awesome follow-up. Where do you draw the line between duty and love? Eona explored her boundaries bravely, even if it means losing a little of herself.

(I still think Eona and Ido is the better match. Just sayin'.)

I love reading this book. I was so happy I had the sequel to it because I could not put it down. Like many fantasy books, there is a hero/heroine (Eona) who is trying to survive in her world yet is confused by her destiny. She seeks answers and understanding of who she is and who she wants to become. I definitely recommend this books to those who loves to read about strong female characters with a mix of fantasy and magical powers.

enjoyable, a book that I cant help but delve into time and time again. I highly recommend it to any reader.

This was an excellent finish to Eon. If you liked the first book you'll love this one too. It explores her struggles of outward gender change to female after spending most of her childhood living as a boy and its effects on how others see her and her own perception of herself. It shows her struggles of dealing with personal power and how easily one can be tempted. I found this fantasy very engaging and I enjoyed the background of Asian culture, dragons and the trials of females in a male world. This is a wonderfully inventive read!

I loved the first book, Eon, so I couldn't wait to get into the second book. Wow... what a disappointmnent. I hated the main character. She came across as a spoiled brat for most of the book.... saying that "on my honor, I will do X" and then 10 minutes breaking that promise. I went all the way to the end thinking somehow that the ending would redeem it all. Definitely wasn't worth my time. Too bad after such a great first book.
