She barely manages to with a little bit of surprise help from Lord Ido, but not without consequences for both others around her at the time and Ryko himself. However, Lady Dela is very convincing and Eona feels she owes it to Ryko to at least try to save his life. Ever since ten of the dragons lost their Dragoneyes, they have attacked Eona and the Mirror Dragon when they are together. Eona is hesitant to try since she’s still untrained and doesn’t know what will happen, especially considering the fact that calling her dragon has been difficult. Since Eona was able to heal both herself and Lord Ido with the help of the Mirror Dragon, Lady Dela is convinced that Eona can save Ryko.

Eona has revealed her true identity as a woman to members of the resistance, and Ryko is near death. If you have read the first book or don’t mind having the end of book one spoiled, read on!Įona picks up shortly after the end of Eon. To read more about the Eon, go here to read the review. Since this is a sequel, this review will contain spoilers for the first book starting immediately. Eon will give more background on events important to the second book and is a decent book on its own, although I do think Eona is the stronger book. While Eona is supposed to work as a stand alone novel and contains the major details from the previous book in infodump form on occasion, I’d recommend reading Eon first. These books have also been marketed for both YA and adult readers depending on the publisher/country. Likewise, Eona has several different titles depending on which part of the world it is in and has also been released as Eona: Return of the Dragoneye and The Necklace of the Gods. The first book, Eon, has also been published under the titles Eon: Dragoneye Reborn, Eon: Rise of the Dragoneye, and The Two Pearls of Wisdom. Eona is the second half of a fantasy duology by Alison Goodman and was on the New York Times Bestseller List.
