Read Alison Goodman's blogs and other content on the Penguin Community.Eon has been revealed as Eona, the first female Dragoneye in hundreds of years. Along with fellow rebels Ryko and Lady Dela, she is on the run from High Lord Sethon's army. The renegades are on a quest for the black folio, stolen by the drug-riddled Dillon; they must also find Kygo, the young Pearl Emperor, who needs Eona's power and the black folio if he is to wrest back his throne from the selfstyled "Emperor" Sethon. Through it all, Eona must come to terms with her new Dragoneye identity and power - and learn to bear the anguish of the ten dragons whose Dragoneyes were murdered. As they focus their power through her, she becomes a dangerous conduit for their plans. . . .
Eona, with its pulse-pounding drama and romance, its unforgettable fight scenes, and its surprises, is the conclusion to an epic only Alison Goodman could create.

The characters were very good, though. Some of the major characters from the first book had less to do and a little bit I missed them. But other characters that didn't have a lot to do in the first book came to the forefront and they were really interesting. Ryko, though was still a really good character.
I liked the way the world evolved and where the plot took this story. And I liked the elements that were at play: love and power and pain and pleasure. The characters really had to question things and explore what those elements were and who they were and what they wanted. But I never felt like I really sank into all that. It was more than just acknowledged but it wasn't quite enough for me and I don't know why.
I did like the ending though. It was a really hard place to get to, but the thing that was most important to me was that even though everything changed, one of the fundamental rules of the world didn't.
