Eona: The Last Dragoneye by Alison Goodman

5.0

Gah! This ending was insane! Definitely a climax of epic proportions. The story was long, definitely a journey for every character involved, but it was never dull and always full of surprises. So many I could barely keep up at times, but this is a complex world with true conflict and dangers that put characters on a knife's edge. The most rewarding part of this story (and there was a lot) was the growth and challenges many of the characters faced. They all grew and experienced different emotions, both good and bad. Nowhere is this more prominent than with Eona, our hero and a girl continually torn between duty, honour, truth, and ambition. She was on a roller coaster, always growing and changing, and while she made choices I questioned, I was constantly on her side, cheering her on. There were tons of secrets revealed about the world and the dragons, leading to a climax worthy of a Hollywood blockbuster. Honestly, I was biting my nails to the very last page, never knowing what to expect. This was a breathtaking, emotional journey, and I couldn't have been happier to experience this story. A definite recommend for anyone looking for a unique, complex, YA fantasy read!
