About this ebook
In this Aurealis Award-winning young adult fantasy, a teen girl masquerading as a boy is determined to become a Dragoneye, despite the fact that if her secret is discovered . . . she will die.
“I loved it. Can’t wait for the sequel!”—Tamora Pierce
“Absolutely stunning . . . Full of palace intrigue and political maneuvering, soul-searching and tragic loss, trust and betrayal, and swashbuckling adventure of the first order.”—Orson Scott Card, Hugo Award-winning author of Ender’s Game
She has a powerful secret . . . with deadly consequences.
For years, Eon’s life has been focused on magical study and sword-work, with one goal: that he be chosen as a Dragoneye, an apprentice to one of the twelve energy dragons of good fortune.
But Eon has a dangerous secret. He is actually Eona, a sixteen-year-old girl who has been masquerading as a twelve-year-old boy. Females are forbidden to use Dragon Magic; the penalty is death.
When Eona’s secret threatens to come to light, she and her allies are plunged into grave danger and a struggle for the Imperial throne. Eona must find the strength and inner power to battle those who want to take her magic . . . and her life.

I'm almost 300 pages into the book and nothing exciting has happened. I've been told to keep on reading but the book just goes too much into detail and just keeps dragging on. Sure there was a few parts so far that are and were good, but not enough action, some awkward topics are discussed in the book, and its just so boring. If I do finish it, I'll try to write an updated review if I remember too.

I found this book to be great! It does have some parts where the description drags on and you feel like skipping, but the hardships and time period described makes it work with the different culture and other ideas the Alison Goodman came up with. If you're looking for a character that doesn't feel any sense of belonging, and has to manipulate her way through politics just to survive; this is the book for you!

Good book, for some reason the read aloud option is disabled though so couldn't listen during my long work drives
