Eon

Eon is the first book and it is absolutely wonderful, but at times it can be relativity gruesome. Don't be afraid to read it though it is still really good. Also I will warn you that it  leaves you hanging at the end. It is a great book and I hope you read it!

Eona, By Alison Goodman

Eon has been revealed as Eona, the first female Dragoneye in hundreds of years. Along with fellow rebels Ryko and Lady Dela, she is on the run from High Lord Sethon's army. The renegades are on a quest for the black folio, stolen by the drug-riddled Dillon; they must also find Kygo, the young Pearl Emperor, who needs Eona's power and the black folio if he is to wrest back his throne from the selfstyled "Emperor" Sethon. Through it all, Eona must come to terms with her new Dragoneye identity and power - and learn to bear the anguish of the ten dragons whose Dragoneyes were murdered. As they focus their power through her, she becomes a dangerous conduit for their plans. 

Eona, with its pulse-pounding drama and romance, its unforgettable fight scenes, and its surprises, is the conclusion to an epic only Alison Goodman could create.

I'm only about halfway through the book, but it is already as good as the prequel. 
The books picks up a little after Eon ends, which I think it perfect because it removes all the boring travel time. Eona is trying to harness her new power, but she soon realizes that the dragons of the murdered Dragoneyes are trying to use her as a path back into the world. The power that she can harness with 11 dragons in enormous-but insanely dangerous. 

I would definitely recommend this, even though I haven't even finished it. A lot of authors make a sequel that can't live up to the first book, but Alison Goodman has managed to make the second book as amazing as the first.

Eon: Dragoneye Reborn

Hey everyone! This isn't on a book club day, but I think this book deserves sharing. I read it a while back, but really enjoyed it.

The book is Eon: Dragoneye Reborn by Alison Goodman. It's a pretty long one, 531 pages. There is also a sequel that came out recently, called Eona. I have yet to read the sequel, but it sounds amazing.

Eon has been studying the ancient art of Dragon Magic for four years, hoping he'll be able to apprentice to one of the twelve energy dragons of good fortune. But he also has a dark secret. He is actually Eona, a sixteen-year-old girl who has been living a dangerous lie for the chance to become a Dragoneye, the human link to an energy dragon's power. It is forbidden for females to practice the Dragon Magic and, if discovered, Eon faces a terrible death. After a dazzling sword ceremony, Eon's affinity with the twelve dragons catapults him into the treacherous world of the Imperial court where he makes a powerful enemy, Lord Ido. As tension builds and Eon's desperate lie comes to light, disaster builds in another part of the country. The lords of the Imperial Court say that only Eon can stop the tornado. As you keep reading, the secret will come to light for you to see. 


One warning though-this is a challenging read. Not only is it long, but very complicated. It is also a 15+ suggestion, but if you have read mature books before, you should be fine. 

Yours,
Nora
