نقد و بررسی
elliotl20 - I really liked the book, I think that the book was really different to what I read before. I can connect to this better because this book is more about Asian dragons, which I can connect to because I grew up with these kind of stories. I think that character is really amazing, Eon, is very brave and I think that the author captures what he is really like very well, you get a great sense of who this character is like. This book is a lot of fun to read, it has a lot of action, and it's about dragons, which most people enjoy reading about. So, I recommend this book to anyone and everyone.
Starred review from September 29, 2008
Inspired by Asian culture, Goodman (Singing the Dogstar Blues
) weaves a fantasy with contemporary themes about gender identity and female power. Because women are forbidden to study Dragon magic, 16-year-old Eona disguises herself as Eon, a 12-year-old boy, to compete to be an apprentice Dragoneye, a communicant with one of 12 energy dragons. Crippled years earlier, she is least likely to be chosen. But then the Mirror Dragon, mysteriously absent for 500 years, appears at the competition and selects Eona. Unable to share her secret even with her new friends, the soldier eunuch Ryko and Lady Dela, a “Contraire,” or transgender courtier, Eona must confront the corrupt Lord Ido and save the empire from his schemes—and discover how to invoke the power of the Mirror Dragon. Goodman's characters hold built-in appeal for fans of Tamora Pierce (particularly of her Song of the Lioness Quartet), but they go further than Pierce's in staking out their sexuality; the author's plotting is elaborate, smart and capable of taking the audience by surprise. Enthralled readers will be hard-pressed to wait for the story's second half, Eona:
The Last Dragoneye
, scheduled for 2010. Ages 12–up.
