The title and main character, Eona, covers her identity under a male guise dubbed “Eon” to compete as one of the twelve Dragoneyes, a person who binds their life force with one of the ancient dragons of the zodiac. After a sudden twist of events, Eona is dragged into the mist of a royal conspiracy, ...
The book started off really slow but it ended with a bunch of twists and turns.Eona really grew in this book.She was a great protagonist and struggled a lot through her journey but eventually came out on top.I can't wait to read the sequel!
Every so often the time will come when you will finally read that elusive novel that has been on your TBR-Shelf for what seems like forever. You know what novel I'm talking about - it's the one all your friends have been recommending to you, time and time again; it's the one the library never has ...
4.5 starsThough this book was not perfect, it was pretty damn good. It consisted of well-developed characters, lots of detailed world-building, numerous references to Asian cultures and their histories (which helped ground the novel and showed Goodman did her research), and a plot that also kept me ...
It's so weird when ALL your goodreads associates 4star+ a book and when you read it your bored out of your brains. Perhaps it's me, I just could not get into the groove of this, and I didnt find the girl posing as a guy brave at all and instead of kicking arse I felt like she spent a great deal of t...

For some reason all of my Japanese history came crashing down on me and there were certain parts that I knew because I had the benefit to learn about it; something Eona did not have.Anyway, here's the review that I pretty much would write:The ...
A thoroughly entertaining and solid novel. The worldbuilding is particularly of note here; much more so than the main character of Eon/a. Review to maybe come, depending on my new work schedule but for once, the hype is warranted. Fans of inventive fantasy and DRAGONS! would do well to seek this one...
I was somewhat surprised by how quickly I was drawn into this book - the story just got me straight away. I really like the japanese-ish world (they even have Women's script!), the exotic yet somewhat familiar customs, how they have Dragoneyes to protect the people against tsunamis, etc. It's a grea...
I got about 65% done and lost interest. It's a long book, and I think it just drug on way too long. Might give it another shot someday when I have more time to dedicate to it.
