Eona: The Last Dragoneye



I adored Eon, I know that. But when the concealment was over and Eona came to life, I loved him even more. No, I loved her.
It was petrifying to witness and follow Eona as she acted upon her duty as the first female Dragoneye in centuries—a young girl destined to face the wicked and the powerful archenemies of the empire. Non-stop action, spine-tingling adventure and overshadowing magic took my breath away as I tagged along Eona and her fellow dissenters who were evading High Lord Sethon’s army. I was also moved by Ryko and Lady Dela’s allegiance to Eona. Their willingness to sacrifice their lives for the sake of a good empire is an admirable heroic act.
Eona and her legion’s quest for the black folio, which was stolen by Dillon, was filled with electrifying turns and death-defying encounters every once in a while. Racing against time, they also needed to find the young Pearl Emperor, Kygo, who terribly needed Eona’s power and the black folio in his struggle to reclaim his throne from the vile “Emperor” Sethon. The journey was quite long and treacherous, but if Eona had survived the onslaught, I too had somehow outlived the stupefying moments between the covers of Alison Goodman’s Eona: The Last Dragoneye.
However, what thrilled and frightened me more was if Eona would be able to cut a deal with her new distinct self—as Dragoneye—and her overwhelming power.  A young typical girl who is fragile as a piece of glass, Eona must deal with the emotional turmoil caused by the enemies, including the grief and pain of the other ten dragons which Dragoneyes were killed. All the enemies need was her power to accomplish their evil plans. And it was up to Eona if she would be willing to compromise everything she has done—including the people—for the adversaries or to unite with her dragon and triumph against the evil force.
In this heart-stopping sequel to Eon, author Alison Goodman successfully intermingled drama, romance, magic and hair-raising action into one magnificent epic tale that leaves the readers petrified at the edge of their seats, but completely satisfied.

A Torch Against the Night

“Your emotions make you human, Elias said to me weeks ago in the Serran Range. Even the unpleasant ones have a purpose. If you ignore them, they just get louder and angrier.” Although this book is a best-seller, I cannot say that this is a can’t-put-it-down read because it took me several weeks to finish flipping on its pages. To be honest, it was a tedious start. But as the story built up, it brought me to different places and introduced me to other interesting characters. I found it a good read. At times, it was a breathtaking feat following Elias and Laia on their journey as they run for their lives. I was thrilled while racing with them away from the Martial soldiers who hunt them and consider them fugitives of the Empire. The long and menacing expedition required me some deep breaths, but I was enamored by Laia’s bravery to defy and fight the enemies in order to save her brother—who is believed to be the key to the Scholars’ survival—from the treacherous prison. And Elias, ...

The Name of the Wind

This is a good tale—a chronicle of my travels and adventures with Kvothe, the legendary hero who has stolen princesses, talked to Gods, loved women, and written songs that make the minstrels weep. The saga of Kvothe awakened my passion that had become quiescent for more than a decade—my zest to reading. When I met him, he enchanted me with his unique wit, cunning thoughts, and most of all, his sympathy and powerful binding techniques. Eventually, he detained me in Patrick Rothfuss’ magical pages. As I begin my journey with this charming and spirited character, I uncovered that every leaf of The Name of the Wind eagerly breaks the monotony of the books of the same genre. It is all-encompassing—a distinctively outlined portrayal of life’s parable and family relationship, of travel adventures and personal wanderlust, of friendship and fleeting acquaintances, of en route impediments and life-altering circumstances, of grief face due to loss and power of emancipation, of a que...

Finnikin of the Rock

Truly, you cannot become an award-winning author if you could not write an exceptional tale. And it takes one phenomenal Melina Marchetta to weave a fiercely captivating epic fantasy of ancient magic, heart-wrenching exile, feudal intrigue, and exciting romance that powerfully enchants the readers. Finnikin of the Rock  is one of the spectacular books that I have read so far. Reading it the first time is compelling, but reading it the second time is absolutely enchanting. Loving the characters is spur-of-the-moment for they are terrifically adorable, interesting and charismatic. How Marchetta developed her characters was remarkable. How she embellished her settings was magnificent. How she outlined her plot was absolutely magical—a mystery yet to be unraveled.  And how she exquisitely splattered on it the twists and turns of events was definitely remarkable. Unquestionably, I relished the unforgettable journey I had with Finnikin and Evanjalin along with the other ...
