Eon: Dragoneye Reborn by Alison Goodman
5.0
Let me just say that I would kill for the sequel right now. Eon starts out, in my opinion, slowly. It is a very interesting way to introduce the main character, conflict, setting, etc. But it was hard for it to keep my interest for very long. this is probably the reason why it took me so long to read. But once Eon and Ryo had stolen the Mirror dragon folio, things really started to pick up for me. It was like being doused in ice water. I suddenly became much more aware of the situation, the character development and it became so much more enjoyable.
Eon in particular was a very interesting and at times confusing character. He constantly switches his perspective around along with his gender. It wasn't until around the last five chapters that I actually thought of her as Eona. Once she embraced her dragon and the fact that being a woman is what made her strong, I became so much more pleased with the character. That didn't quite blot out her stupidity of the Sun drug incident, but it's progress!
I found the detailed setting to be awe-worthy. The attention to detail was astounding and left images in my head that I'm recalling even now. The author did a very good job crafting together the realistic historical Chinese setting and this magical sort of spirit-focused world. I really enjoyed it.
