The only reason this isn't 5 stars is because it wasn't as good as the first one, in my opinion. If I could, I would give it 4 1/2 stars.

“History does not care about the suffering of the individual. Only the outcome of their struggles.”
Aww all the emotions.. This one was so emotional.. This was truly an amazing book..
Eona the Last Dragoneye is such an emotional read especíally at the end. It is so raw and beautifully done. Perfect ending. Great cast of characters. And an awesome story plotline.
To me Eona: The Last Dragoneye is even better than the first one in the duology. It just had it all for me. Action. Adventure. Fantasy (fantastic elements). Heroic characters. Flawed Characters. A bit of Love going on. And a lot lot lot of emotions! And the story line was so greatly done.
I love that this is Spiritual Fantasy, something that you don't see many write about & I love that.
This one just became a new favourite for me. I'm definitely going to read both of them again.

I loved the first book, I hated this one...
Eona was a great character in the first book.But in the second one she lies a lot and is kind of power hungry, basically she turns in a second Ido. It's actually funny that I liked Ido here more than Eona. He has at least reasons to be this way. But why the fuck does Eona fall in love with someone who raped here and lies as Naiso and his love interest to the emperor?!
Also plot-wise wasn't the book as much action-packed as I liked. A lot of walking, only a bit of fighting. I was just bored for most of the story.
There wasn't also not that much progress in worldbuilding from the first book as I liked.

That ending was so anticlimactic after such a good read. Left me feeling really meh about it all and kinda like I've wasted my time.

Other then the fact that this books ending I predicted in the beginning, it was still a good read. I liked her struggle for power, and the author did a good job showing us readers that she (Eona) had power craving. I wish the ending had more substance, something more to savor at the end, because it just kinda ended...

If books are boys, I would marry this one. I couldn't hide my amazement. I kept writing and deleting whatever I was typing because I can't seem to have the right words to describe how thrilling and mind-blowing this book is. What I liked most about this book is the characters that are full of flaw. I don't see much of that in books lately. I see some authors want to grab the attention from readers by making their characters as swoon-worthy and perfect as possible. However, there is actually a stronger way to grab that interest and that is through how real the character can be in the actual world. And the book revolves around the imperfectness of the characters: Ido's greed for power, Eona and Kygo's suspicions of each other, Yuso's blinded love for his son, Sethon's hunger for the Imperial Pearl, Ryko's hesitation towards Eona, etc. And all these flaws are not just held by the evil characters but also by the protagonists and that is what I like most about this book.
There are also moral battles between doing what is right and doing what you want. This book isn't really about the war to get the Imperial Pearl, but more towards the inner fight to choose between duty or power/happiness for Eona. Eona has changed a lot and she is no longer the crippled 12-year-old who fears the emperor and follows order. Eona is the 16-year-old Mirror Dragoneye who has power, choices and the bravery to do what she thinks is right. Though there are some times that Eona chooses the wrong path, there will always be the moment of realization that leads to guilt and repentance. It is never an easy thing to choose what is right if choosing what is wrong is the only way to save the person you love. And I think Eona's character grows throughout the journey into a more independent, wise, merciful and strong human-being. And Eona's mercy and choice to do good is the only way that differentiates her and Ido. Would you save your loved ones if you have to kill thousands of people? What are your priorities? Those questions hint to the moral lesson of the story. There might be a thin line between doing what is good and what is not, but there will always be a line.
Yes, the story seems really long and the climax seems so far away from the beginning of the book, but because there are always such suspenseful scenes (especially the part with Dillon), the speed of the book is immensely fast. I might need Eona's compulsion to put the book down and go to class because every scene is crucial. This book is the opposite of "Eon" because I can't skim anything at all. All information and conversation seem critical and important. The story is about one thing: renewing the dragon through the Imperial Pearl. But all the intense battle scenes and moral wars builds upon each other to get the the climax, and finally, the conclusion of the series.
The story starts of with Eon, now called Lady Eona, who is appointed as Kygo's Naiso, or advisor, who has to save the dragons by taking the Imperial Pearl from her beloved Kygo. However, taking the Imperial Pearl will kill the emperor, and so Eona seeks another way to renew the dragons, though her quest seems impossible. Throughout the dilemma, there are also conflicts between Eona and Kygo's romance, either by fear of deception, mistrust or jealousy, especially when Eona is connected to Ido. There are quite a few romance scenes, including the triangle love of Eona, Kygo and Ido. But these romance scenes are not those cheesy scenes to make a girl feel dreamy, these scenes are as crucial because they draw the line between love and duty, both leading to Eona's and Kygo's confusion and mistrust.
Even through the book's complexity of information and reasonings, the images and adventure that the author has created for Eona is strongly vivid and clear. The world where Eona and the dragons live in is not just an ordinary stretch of imagination, it is beyond excellence. Everyone has a purpose, everything happens for a reason and in the end, every single scene is connected to each other and they build up each other--why Eona heals certain people, why does that person appear a lot and seem to have nothing to do, etc. But in the end, everyone has their own important role in the book. No character is just a side character to increase number or to lengthen the story; they are present with strong reasons.
I don't see a lot of fantasy books that can make me feel so overwhelmed with amazement. The conflict that builds up the climax seem to be very unexpected. And the climax seems so intense that I feel so frustrated because I don't know how the story will end and how Eona can win. It seems SO impossible, yet the Eona always succeeds in shaking me up with her never-ending strategies that I can never think of. I do, however, think that Eona and Kygo's love seem kinda hanging at the end of the story. What happens after that? How will Eona proceed? But I know this is not a romance novel and therefore it should not bother the readers but I do appreciate if the author can add some little future (epilogue or whatever) to describe what happens after that excruciatingly unexpected last scene. Five stars for the brilliance. Cheers.
