Did I ever mention I'm a slacker??
I think I should mention I'm a slacker....
GUYS! guess what? I'm a slacker!!
But you know how it is, you read, you have goodreads app on your phone, you just update from that, and go on the next book..
you don't?
it's just me?
Bummer ;)
Anyways , it's two for one special today!
I tend not to give away spoilers, (which sucks when I write about a book, then a year later read the sequel, and can't remember a thing, and my review is not very helpful -.-)
Anyways, if you love fantasy, you'll love this! this is a world of mythical dragons, castles and brave warriors, and a girl pretending to be a guy! no this isn't that Disney movie, promise.
We have Eona/Eon. I'm not gonna tell you how the story goes, because, hey! go read it!!! But I'll tell you what I thought about Eon/Eona! that girls is always calculating, always afraid, mapping her every move! she makes mistakes, A LOT of them, she's emotional. But most of the times, she comes through. those two books take you through the journey of a very self-preserved girl, how she loses some battles, and wins some. it's not your normal, (girl vs. world = girl always wins because OMG SHE IS THE SHIT!) no, it's about a girl who wants to survive and be safe, and maybe save the world, she grows a lot, Eona, would turn out to be brave (at some point) and daring. but you'll live that process with her.
The world Goodman built is not that unique, there are dragons and magic, but the way she goes through it is unique, throughout the book, you get to see the world revealed bit by bit, without reading ten pages on describing a tower. Goodman, also goes through emotions and events in a way that you don't get overwhelmed with either. the books is filled with action, but it's just the right amount of action.
I really enjoyed the books! GO READ THEM..
NOW!
