If I wanted to read a romance novel, I would have purchased one. The whole focus of this story seemed to be the passionate love blossoming between Eona and the Emperor.

What was most disappointing about Alison Goodman’s story? This book was nothing like book one which set up a great beginning to an intriguing story. The storyline was interesting but really what good is the plot or an intricately written world if your main character is annoying and ruining everything. But with all the time and effort put into creating the Eona world, the heroine got left behind. The world, asian lore, and influences are refreshing in the stacks of vampires, witches, and shifters. I found all the supporting characters way more interesting and likable than the lead. I was really disappointed at the lack fighting in these books it seemed like a good setting for a strong female warrior, but wasn't. It seems Eona learned nothing from the first book since her fears and lack of communication was the root of most of her problems. In Eon she was frustratingly slow or maybe it was just how apparent the storyline was, but she displays cleverness at the speed of molasses. Unfortunately regardless of gender Eona keeps getting in her own way. Eona is like a reflection of the first book as she is wanted as a boy so she is hiding as a girl. On the run after the fall of the emperor by he's brothers coup along with Lord Ido, she must find a way to restore the rightful monarchy and save the dragons. In Eon we met Eona the last Mirror Dragoneye, a crippled girl posing as boy. Against a thrilling backdrop of explosive combat, ruthless power struggles and exotic lore, Eona is the gripping story of a remarkable warrior who must find the strength to walk a deadly line between truth and justice.Eona the sequel and conclusion to Eon was a great idea that in the end underwhelmed. Can she face her own darkness within, and drive a desperate bargain with an old enemy? A wrong move could obliterate them all.

On the run from High Lord Sethon's army, Eona and her friends must help the Pearl Emperor, Kygo, wrest back his throne. the result: a killing force that destroys everything before it. When she tries to bond with her Mirror Dragon, the anguish of the ten spirit beasts whose Dragoneyes were murdered surges through her. But Eona has an even more dangerous secret - she cannot control her power. Now she is Eona, thrust into the role of her country's saviour. Ages: 14+ Once she was Eon, a girl disguised as a boy, risking her life for the chance to become a Dragoneye apprentice. The sequel to the fabulous Two Pearls of Wisdom, also published as Eon.
