Overview:
Sixteen-year-old Eon has a dream, and a mission. For years, he's been studying sword-work and magic, toward one end. He and his master hope that he will be chosen as a Dragoneye-an apprentice to one of the twelve energy dragons of good fortune.
But Eon has a dangerous secret. He is actually Eona, a sixteen-year-old girl who has been masquerading as a twelve-year-old boy. Females are forbidden to use Dragon Magic; if anyone discovers she has been hiding in plain sight, her death is assured.
When Eon's secret threatens to come to light, she and her allies are plunged into grave danger and a deadly struggle for the Imperial throne. Eon must find the strength and inner power to battle those who want to take her magic...and her life.

Review:
It's been a battle, this past week, with finding time to read on top of the piles of work left for me to do. With that said, every spare moment I've had I've spent trying to finish a book by Alison Goodman. Blessfully, I've just finished it about fifteen minutes ago. The book in question just so happens to be... Eona, the sequel book to Eon: Dragoneye Reborn.
In honor of having finally finished the sequel, I'm posting about the first book.
Eon: Dragoneye Reborn initially has a slow pace, but impatience will cause readers to miss out on a good read. Goodman creates an intricate fantasy world. In this world, Eona is challenged to walk the thin line of deciet as a young girl posing as a man. Because in a world where women know their place, it most definitely isn't out breaking centuries old traditions by competing to become a Dragoneye apprentice, and for Eona the price to pay if she loses is deadly. The book is full of action packed adventure, intricate politics and an insight into what power can do to the mind.
Another book I reccommend to anyone interested in taking the time to sit down and read.
