This novel barely touched on the Dragon-eye persona and focused more on the romance and desire of two characters and threw in the repulsive desires of a villan for good measure. If you are going to write a follow-on novel in a series, make sure you maintain a fluid flow with the story line. If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Eona?Įverything that had to do with Eona and the emperors sexual desires. She is a wonderful narrator and would shine with a better novel more suited to her obvious talent. What about Nancy Wu’s performance did you like? If I wanted to read a romance novel, I would have purchased one. The whole focus of this story seemed to be the passionate love blossoming between Eona and the Emperor. What was most disappointing about Alison Goodman’s story? This book was nothing like book one which set up a great beginning to an intriguing story. The storyline was interesting but really what good is the plot or an intricately written world if your main character is annoying and ruining everything. But with all the time and effort put into creating the Eona world, the heroine got left behind. The world, asian lore, and influences are refreshing in the stacks of vampires, witches, and shifters. I found all the supporting characters way more interesting and likable than the lead. I was really disappointed at the lack fighting in these books it seemed like a good setting for a strong female warrior, but wasn't.
It seems Eona learned nothing from the first book since her fears and lack of communication was the root of most of her problems.
In Eon she was frustratingly slow or maybe it was just how apparent the storyline was, but she displays cleverness at the speed of molasses. Unfortunately regardless of gender Eona keeps getting in her own way. Eona is like a reflection of the first book as she is wanted as a boy so she is hiding as a girl. On the run after the fall of the emperor by he's brothers coup along with Lord Ido, she must find a way to restore the rightful monarchy and save the dragons. In Eon we met Eona the last Mirror Dragoneye, a crippled girl posing as boy. Eona the sequel and conclusion to Eon was a great idea that in the end underwhelmed.
