Eon: Rise of the Dragoneye
Eon: Rise of the Dragoneye | Alison Goodman
32 posts | 97 read | 61 to read
Twelve-year old Eon has been studying the ancient art of the Dragoneyes for two years. But he is playing a dangerous game: Eon is actually Eona, 16 years old and a girl. Her true identity must remain hidden at all costs: it is forbidden for women to practise the Art, and to be discovered would be punishable by death. Let down by her injured leg, it seems that Eon is destined to fail in her quest, until a spectacular twist in events catapults her into the opulent but treacherous world of the Imperial court. Without a master to guide her, Eon must learn to harness her unprecedented natural power, while protecting the secret that could cost her everything . . . Set against a rich backdrop of Ancient Chinese myths and traditions and fraught with tension, this is a classic page-turner.

Never heard of this duology until Leonie from thebookleo channel on YouTube talked about this. Last week I found both books sold for a good cause.

I never could say no to secondhand books. And when the seller says all the proceeds will go to a good cause? Well...

Can't wait to start reading the first book!

I'm a sucker for girls pretending to be boys and gaining power so I expected to like this and I did. Eon/a was a compelling narrator despite her faulty memories of the time before she was a candidate and you really wanted her to succeed. I liked that there was so much great disability and trans representation as well. The only damper is that at the end there is a kind of ableist thing that happens but overall I still enjoyed this a lot.

Mehso-so

This book is about a girl disguised as a guy to use dragoneye magic. The most powerful magic. If you like dragons, this is up your alley!

MissYaremcio Your summary has left me wanting more! I think I read this book when I was about your age... Make sure to include all elements of the assignment for the next post! 5y

Anyone read Eon? I adore Alison Goodman's Dark Days Series, so thought I'd give this a try. So far it's VERY different than what I'm used to from her.

Loved it! Although Eon(a) can be a bit thick at times. Also, I kinda think Lord Ido is hot. Boo Hiss I know, but I always love a good bad guy.

Dragon I do love the bad boys. 😀🐉 7y

I was drawn to the cover of Eon by Alison Goodman and after reading the synopsis, I was intrigued. I mean swords, dragons, magic, dangerous secrets and heroes!
I wasn't disappointed in reading the book either. I love the amazing world building this author creates. I have no trouble envisioning the dragons, picturing the characters and feeling the action.

Pulling one up from the archives just so I can post about one of my favorite recent reads. I knew five pages in that I was going to love this one, and it did not disappoint. If you are a fan of historical fantasy or like books with influences from ancient Asian cultures, get this book and read it. Now. Do not wait. It is hands down the best book I've read since finishing the final volume of The Wheel of Time (that was in 2013).

Utopiyll I read this book years ago and thought about it again the other day, remembering how amazing it was! I'm so glad there is another person on here I've found that has read it because it is a gem!! 💕 7y
Rachel_R._Smith @Utopiyll I happened to stumble across it one day at the bookstore, and I'm so glad I did! Happy to meet a fellow fan! ❤️ 7y

I keep changing my mind about my current book club read. I'll get so bored I'll decide to DNF (perfectly acceptable in the club), and then it'll pick up again. I think I'm more interested in the characters than the training, so I get bogged down in those sections. Also, to paraphrase Jeff Goldblum, are there any dragons in this dragon book? 😂 #changedyourmindabout #feistyfeb #changedmymindabout

A very original fantasy set in a world that is a mix of ancient China & Japan. A female character trying to make her way in a male dominated world, with the help of a few interesting friends. I couldn't put this one down & immediately ordered the sequel.

Have you read EON and EONA? I won't lie, I have two major issues with EON, one which involves a troubling trope. But this series, set in a world with powerful energy dragons inspired by ancient Japan, China, is still one of my favorite historical fantasies. Strong women, including a transgender one.

AlisonCanRead I enjoyed Eon and Eona. I'm hoping to read her new one soon. Darkest Days Club or something like that. Have you read the Lumatere Chronicles by Melina Marchetta? 8y
CaitlinSiem These are on the way in the mail now, actually. I enjoyed Dark Days Club by her and that's kind of what drew me to trying these books. And the dragons. 😉 8y
misswendyd @AlisonCanRead DARK DAYS CLUB is quite good as well! Very different from EON series, but enjoyable. I have not read TLC although many of my friends have raved about it. 8y
misswendyd @CaitlinSiem I'm so glad! I liked DDC but I think this series is even better. Like you said...dragons. 😊 I hope you enjoy it! Just be a bit patient with Eona in the first one. 8y
