I liked Eon's strength on how she handled and accepted the burden of all her masters hopes that was put on her, even though continually living her life as a boy did cause her some confusion. I guess being poor and laboring in the salt farm most of her life gave Eon a small frame. But you see the thing about Eon is, he's not male and is older than twelve, the age of all dragoneye contestants. And this is basically the main angle of the book, young male contestants enter a yearly competition to become the Daragoneye Apprentice for the upcoming Animal sign.Įon was a candidate for his Master Heuris Brannon, who put all his eggs in one basket hoping Eon would be chosen as the Dragoneye, and help him reclaim his position as a Lord and get in a position to hinder the corruption in the counsel trying to dethrone the emperor. I've always been interested in the Chinese Zodiac Animal signs. One of the things I really liked about it was the Chinese and Japanese influences in the story. First of all I didn't have any expectations of how I would receive it but has it turns out I really enjoyed it. Based on the ancient lores of Chinese astrology and Feng Shui, The Two Pearls of Wisdom and its sequel The Necklace of the Gods are compelling novels set in a world filled with identities, dangerous politics and sexual intrigue.Eon: Dragoneye Reborn is certainly unlike any book I've ever read and I'm at a loss at how to go about reviewing it.
Quickly learning to navigate the treacherous court politics, Eon makes some unexpected alliances, and a deadly enemy in a Dragoneye turned traitor. The Emperor immediately summons Eon to court to protect his son and heir. Eon's unprecedented display of skill at the Dragoneye ceremony places him in the centre of a power struggle between the Emperor and his High Lord brother.
Eona becomes Eon, and a dangerous gamble is put into play. Because females are forbidden to practise the Art, Eona endures years of study concealed as a boy. He is really Eona, found by a power-hungry master of the Dragon Magic in a search for the new Dragoneye.
Eon is a potential Dragoneye, able to manipulate wind and water to nurture and protect the land.
