(SPOILER ALERT!!)
En riktigt bra bok om Eon, en tolvårig pojke som egentligen heter Eona och är en sextonårig flicka. Eona har nu tränats länge i hopp om att hon ska bli det nya "Dragoneye". Vid ceremonin där det nya Dragoneye ska väljas ut väljs en annan person och Eona tror att allt har gått förlorat. Nu kommer hennes mästare tvingas sälja henne som slav etc. Men, den förlorade Mirror Dragon kommer tillbaka och väljer Eona som Dragoneye. Vad kommer nu att hända, sitter du nog och undrar nu. Undra på du för det får du reda på när du läser boken. Ha det så kul!

Eon adalah seorang murid punggawa naga. Ia diharapkan bisa menjadi punggawa naga Tikus selanjutnya, walau harapannya tipis karena ia sesungguhnya wanita dan bercacat fisik. Di upacara pemilihan, alih-alih dipilih oleh naga tikus, ia justru dipilih oleh Naga Kembar menjadi Punggawa Naga-nya. Naga Kembar adalah naga betina satu-satunya yang sudah menghilang ratusan tahun. Sejak saat itu, hidup Eon dipenuhi intrik politik dan pertentangan batin, hingga ia terjebak dalam pusaran konflik Istana. Ia setuju menjadi sekutu putra mahkota Kyogo, tapi ia harus menyaksikan kematian Raja dan pemberontak mengambil alih istana. Eon, dengan bantuan Ryko dan Putri Dela, berhasil kabur dari kepungan pemberontak.
Alur cerita buku ini lambat, dipenuhi dengan dialog-dialog pendek dan bersahut-sahutan layaknya remaja labil yang mentalnya nyaris runtuh oleh beratnya beban ekspektasi. Moral of the story? Teruslah mencoba walau pernah gagal, tapi cari cara agar kegagalan tidak terulang.

It's just too slow at the start. Eon is a struggle sometimes to tolerate but slowly gets better.

If you want a hardcore fantasy set in a deliciously elaborate and complex world, pick up EON: DRAGONEYE REBORN. Goodman’s majestic tale brings to mind the works of fantasy masters like Garth Nix, Robin McKinley, Diane Wynne Jones, and more. Eon’s world is well wrought, engaging, and one hundred percent fascinating.
The world of EON: DRAGONEYE REBORN is reminiscent of ancient Asian cultures, and is a careful and studied mixture of the spiritual and the physical. I loved the idea of dragons being a part of the energy world, of Dragoneyes connecting with the dragons to share a mutual power. At the same time, the physical setting is incredible: a place full of beauty and treachery, awe and horror. Alison Goodman weaves for readers a multisensory setting that’s a treat to experience.
The characters are far from lacking either. Eon is a brilliant, three-dimensional protagonist: his internal conflict of adhering to the tradition of male Dragoneyes versus breaking protocol and acknowledging Eona is heartbreaking and enthralling. Readers may be able to guess things that the often-obstinate Eon misses, but all in all Eon is a fascinating character to follow in this highly charged story.
At a little over 500 pages, EON: DRAGONEYE REBORN may seem like a daunting read, but every chapter is worth it, even the few that you wish would speed up to Eon’s long-awaited revelations. I absolutely cannot wait for the sequel, EONA: THE LAST DRAGONEYE, to come out, so that I can read more about Eon/Eona and his/her adventures in this magnificently complex world.

DNF; I stopped reading after I wouldn't recommend this book. If you're interested in stories that draw inspiration from Asian countries, I'd tell you to take a look at Zen Cho, instead.

Eona's old, permanent injury is magically healed. To be fair, I hadn't thought the book was too bad up until that point, although there were certainly things that made me really frustrated and uncomfortable (and not in a good way), but after she was Miraculously Cured I just couldn't make myself read any further, that was the last straw for me.mollywetta's review against another edition
Just couldn't finish. Maybe it's the audio. But 6 hours and it felt like nothing had happened and I couldn't stand the narrator.
