I was lucky enough to get an ARC of this one, so I read it last fall. Loved it! I was a bit slow on the uptake with the whole "Stop denying your femininity because hello THE MIRROR DRAGON IS FEMALE" so the middle didn't drag for me quite as much. Yes, I am slow.

Nah, you're not slow. (c: I didn't really figure it out for sure until she way overdosed herself with the Sun drug and the dragon practically disappeared. I think it could have been a 450 page book and I might not have gotten so frustrated with Eona. The whole mirror thing about the dragon having the same name I didn't get myself, though, so that was a surprise.

Oh! I've heard other people comment positively about this book and double Oh! I love books with the crazy mixed-gender-girl-having-to-pretend-to-be-boy story line. I'll have to look for this one, for sure.

Eon is one of my favorites this year. I might even buy it. I write a lot of stories in an Asian-inspired fantasy world myself and it's great inspiration.

I see you're reading Fearless Fourteen -- I just got my hands on Finger-Lickin Fifteen tonight and am halfway through it. Her books are one of my guilty pleasures.

Mine, too. It hit me recently that I'd never read the 14th one. Then I'll try to get a copy of 15,

Just finished Eon, and my reaction was more or less exactly the same as yours, including the frustration with Eon/a's denseness in figuring out that her dragon was attracted to her femininity rather than repelled by it and my unhappiness with the magical erasure of her disability at the end. My incredibly haphazard review is up on Goodreads if you're interested.

Thanks for commenting on my review, and pointing me to yours on Goodreads! I laughed reading your internal dialog about the steroids -- awesome.
