My daughter was the one who introduced me to Alison Goodman's Eon, a novel set in an imaginary feudal-era Asian world reminiscent of Cindy Pon's world. Eon is training to be a hopeful Dragoneye, a sort of wizard who can use the power of the dragon of his birth year. But Eon has a secret: She's actua...

Solid 4 stars. I enjoyed this book quite a bit, although I often found myself both annoyed by and cheering on the heroine within the span of a few pages.

Usually I'm not fond of stories set in Eastern world but written in English. The reason is kinda stupid, but one I can ignore: language. I come from the same region, some Chinese names/titles/places (translated in my language-pretty close to Chinese though) are so fixed in my mind that I just ... do...
