Still, I can’t deny that the love triangle was necessary to the plot, but I feel the author should’ve just played it different.īut on the other hand, there was another relationship which I found very good, the one with Ryko and Lady Dela. Ido is a ruthless murderer and he abused and almost raped Eona in book on so, to me, the idea of them being in a relationship, of her feeling any attraction to him, is disturbing enough to make me puke. In the second book there’s also a love triangle and even though I think the author put it to very good use, I can’t help but feel disgusted at the thought of it. Nevertheless, both books are rich with interesting characters: Ryko, Lady Dela, Chart, Rilla, Kygo and even Ido are some of my favourites. Unfortunately the same can’t be said for book two, whereas we expected her to learn from her mistakes in book 1, in book 2 she makes them worse, a hundred times fold. She’s also very courageous and, in the first book, there were times I felt like I could understand her: when she helped her friends, when she tried to do what seemed best at the time. Eon/Eona is a lying, easily manipulated and hard-headed character. I could never feel empathy with the protagonist and that was, in the end, what really hindered my full enjoyment. Unfortunately that is never the case for Eon/Eona. In both books we find characters we root for. The characters in this tale are rich and diverse, controversial and courageous. Still, I wanted more and felt there was place for more. In the first book we learn only the basics of this link, but on the second book we really get to see what the Dragons are all about. The land is watched over by twelve dragons and twelve human DragonEyes who channel the dragon’s energy to make the land prosper.
Alison Goodman created something superb here, both in the social side of the world and the mystical. I was in love with this land and its costumes, its rules and its dangers.
The first, “ Eon – DragonEye Reborn” starts really slow but after a (long) while it picks up its pace and engages the reader in the magnificent world that the author created. I read/heard these two as audiobooks, at the end of last year, almost one after the other.īoth tested me as a reader. And the first to come are “ Eon – DragonEye Reborn” and “ Eona – The Last DragonEye“, the two books that make up the Eon duology, by Alison Goodman. Book Buzz is going to be a place for me to talk a bit about the book I read and enjoy.
