Eona: The Last Dragoneye by Alison Goodman
5.0

The sequel to Eon, this book was like the first one, striking. It is now known to a selective few that Lord Eon is actual Lady Eona. However, whether male or female, she is still a Dragoneye, and one of the last ones at that. As she journeys with the resistance force, she must face challenges and hurdles far greater than those faced in ‘Eon’. Balancing his safety with a burning feeling for him, she must ensure that Kygo gets the throne. However, as they travel, she begins to feel something stirring within her, a voice telling her that she needs to do something that will kill Kygo, but will free the land and the dragons forever.

In this book, the plot is equally intense as the first novel. There is a partial love issue in this novel, however, it is a great part of the story line that helps the story along instead of forcing it to slow down. Yes, there are sometimes in the novel where I felt like tossing an anvil at Eona’s head, but it is her insecurity and mistakes that create a ’cause and effect’ sort of thing that carries the story well. It’s intense and crazy, and at some parts quite sickening and torturous. Is it worth it in the end? Yes. It truly is. I loved this book and Eon. A great duo of books in my opinion~!
