Eon has been revealed as Eona, the first female Dragoneye in hundreds of years. Along with fellow rebels Ryko and Lady Dela, she is on the run from High Lord Sethon's army. The renegades are on a quest for the black folio, stolen by the drug-riddled Dillon; they must also find Kygo, the young Pearl Emperor, who needs Eona's power and the black folio if he is to wrest back his throne from the selfstyled "Emperor" Sethon. Through it all, Eona must come to terms with her new Dragoneye identity and power - and learn to bear the anguish of the ten dragons whose Dragoneyes were murdered. As they focus their power through her, she becomes a dangerous conduit for their plans. . . .

Eona, with its pulse-pounding drama and romance, its unforgettable fight scenes, and its surprises, is the conclusion to an epic only Alison Goodman could create.

    This is truly the best book I have ever read. You need to write a third book, and bring Ryko back to life some how.
  • One of the best books written!!!!!!

    I love this story. It has everything in it (in my opinion) love, betrayal, murder, and it's intense! If you love books that involve these things this book is for you! It has a few boring parts but when you finish you will be asking for more! I love this book and wish that there was a third book!!!!! Get this book you will not regret it!!!

    Eona is Eon squared, which is both good and bad: a major theme of the story. On the plus side, most characters are further developed, particularly the three players in the infamous "power triangle" (more on that later). Also to the good are the numerous action scenes, which immerse you without drowning you. The entire rescue: holy Shola, that was good! I also enjoyed watching Vida's growth throughout the story. Now for the bad parts. For its detail, this story moves extremely quickly - sometimes too much so. The last fifty pages or so were a whirlwind of melodrama, and the whole String of Pearls concept could have used more explanation. In addition, Goodman seems a little too fond of picking characters up out of nowhere, dropping them into a scene or two, and then yanking them back out. I would have loved to see more of Madina, Rilla, Chart, Dillon, or even Mama Momo. Lady Dela and Ryko were also sorely missed. A word of advice for you: never fall in love with emperors. It's a guarantee for massive mayhem, and yet everybody falls for it. In a competition for sheer power-hungry nastiness, it would be a close call between Kygo and Sethon. At least Sethon is honest about it, while Kygo can't seem to decide between ordering Eona to do everything she hates and kissing her at every opportunity. After a few of his little snits (massive understatement intended), I was screaming for Eona to stay a good little Dragoneye and not become a slavish concubine. Ido's dry insights and flashes of humanity were a breath of fresh air. He's ambitious, ruthless, and manipulative, and he makes no effort to hide it. But what's this? Compassion and selflessness from the Rat Dragoneye? Perish the thought! Eona herself is far stronger and more mature. Less likable, maybe, but definitely more grown-up. I won't give away any details. Eona's choices, whether I agreed with them or not, were uniquely hers. The story is good, even magnificent in some places. My only regret is that I know it could have been magnificent throughout. On its own terms, Eona: Last Dragoneye is an excellent book. Compared with Eon...well, who can blame it for falling a little flat?
  • AMAZING!!!!

    An amazing story start to finish. It was simply attention stealing, I didn't want to put it down.
