Overview:
Once she was Eon, a girl disguised as a boy, risking her life for the chance to become a Dragoneye apprentice. Now she is Eona, the Mirror Dragoneye, her country's savior - but she has an even more dangerous secret. She cannot control her power. Each time she tries, it twists into a killing force. And more destruction is on her trail - High Lord Sethon's army. She and her companions must find Kygo, the young Pearl Emperor, who needs Eona's power if he is to wrest back his throne. But to help him, she must drive a dark bargain with an old enemy, which could obliterate them all. Eona, with its pulse-pounding drama, unforgettable fight scenes, sizzling tension - and many surprises - brings to a close an epic story.

Review:
Just days ago I posted about Goodman's first book in the series, Eon: Dragoneye Reborn. It's fitting, I think, for the second book in this short series to follow right after. It also helps that I just recently finished reading the book...
In Eona, it's a rush to get the final pieces of the puzzle and find out the truth before Sethon finds the Empire's rebels. But as more and more is revealed about the Dragoneyes, one begins to wonder just how far back the art of deception goes, and if it's in the Mirror Dragoneye's way to lie to protect herself, and to protect others. Isn't that what consciously making the decision to omit the truth is, still just a lie? And Eona seems to become more and more entangled in the greed for more power... But from where does this greed come from?
It's almost startling to watch Eona's progressively worsening change of character from the beginning of the first book to the end of the second. Once again, for patient readers, this book is recommended. Sometimes it's slow going, but it's ultimately fun to read when you get into it.
