This book was a bundle of awesome. I am so glad I read it; although I am sure my librarian is happier I finally returned it.It took me a long time to get around to this and even when I did I stopped reading when I found it there might be a love triangle in the sequel. Lucky for me there are nice peo...

I loved this book.So many things about it called to me. It's set in a world that's influenced by Asian culture, where the Emperor reigns over twelve Dragoneye Masters who are in touch with the twelve dragons representing the animals of the Chinese Zodiac, the individual points on the compass, certai...

This book is one of those books I hated so much... that I LOVED it! I'm serious! Everything about it made me want to rip my hair out but it was because of those actions that made me realize the book was amazing! The story, the characters, the myths, and just about everything else made me squee for j...

4.5/5What a great read! Eon is what any self-respecting teen should read if they are interested in women represented as more than gentle wilted flowers wrapped in cotton candy.It's also a lovely treat for anyone who has interest in Asia and Asian mythology. I would recommend it along with Stormdance...

4 stars — I really liked it. Before you decide to pick this book up, I'm going to warn you: THIS BOOK HAS FANTASTIC WORLD BUILDING. Fantastic. Briliant. Awesome. Whatever you want to say, but it's so good, so believable, I sometimes found myself as the heroine. I could vividly imagine everything aro...

I read Eon this year and was immediatly drawn into the book. I don't believe I've ever read a first person pov that was this descriptive. I completely fell in love with the settings and lore. I really enjoyed seeing the world from Eon's point of view and it was very vivid all the way down from the s...

So three stars is my lowest rating I am willing to give. It's my "Meh" review mark. This is not a bad book by any means. Trust me, I'm not hating on it. But I found myself utterly unattached to the story and the characters. I don't think it was the author who failed to make me love Eon/Eona (Who is ...

Such a great story, but so badly executed. Maybe not bad, exactly, but not very good. I can handle the many long and tedious info dumps, but the heroine's naïveté and self-inflicted victimization is not something I can respect, or read without a constant feeling of loathing. And especially from a...

I am such a fantasy fan, I love imagining the beauty and extravagance of the scenes and picturing a whole, different world. And Eon totally gives me that feeling.This book is pretty much about sexuality and personal identity, since our main character, Eona, is a 16-year old girl who would rather be ...
