A review by nturner2810
Eon: Dragoneye Reborn by Alison Goodman
4.0
I found this novel in an airport book store and was curious so I jumped online and checked out the reviews- there weren't many but the storyline caught my attention so I gave it a go!
I really enjoyed this novel. It put me in mind of Tamora Pierce's Lionheart series (aside from the 'hidden' gender of the main character). The writing is pure young adult adventure with darker undertones that older minds will pick up, which only makes the story behind it all the better.
**Just a warning, this and the next novel both touch on issues of gender identification and society's acceptance of related differences**
It took me a while to realise where and when this tale is set but I learnt a lot about that area and period that I hadn't known, or considered previously. Goodman has used history as a guide, added some whimsy and created a new(ish) world for her characters to thrive in. A great read!
