Dragoneye Reborn (Eon, #1)
by Alison Goodman (Goodreads Author), Nancy Wu
Larger graph if you can't read it: here .
A Few More Points:
*If you want someone to seem like a villain, do NOT make them taste like a creamsicle when you kiss them. Vanilla and orange=AWESOME.
*How DARE you end a book at that point! (just kidding, Ms. Goodman. You hooked me for the next one)
*I hope that Chart is part of book two. When he says "Sluuuuut" to Irsa, I laughed out loud at the audiobook. (One high point of the audio version which, overall, left a lot to be desired)

I'm pretty sure that tasting like a creamsicle qualifies one as Terrifyingly Evil MWAHAHAHAHA! (Capitalization required.) O_o

It's just that this awful man kept coming at her and she would say that she tasted of vanilla and orange and I was like, "THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT WHO THE HELL WOULDN'T WANT TO MAKE OUT WITH A GUY THAT TASTES LIKE A CREAMSICLE EVEN IF HE IS EVIL!!!" (Capitalization required;))
Drawing with my finger is much more fun than actually trying to verbalize all my feelings about a book. I'm not sure if you are ripping on me or actually do enjoy the graphs. Eh, either way is fine with me.
That's a beautiful graph. So, the graph tells me you wouldn't recommend this book, but you gave it three stars (which Goodreads says means you "liked it" and thought it was better than just okay), right?
Yes, I actually liked it quite a bit. I think I would've leaned toward four stars if I had read the entire thing rather than shifting back and forth between the audio version and the book. When you have to carefully listen to a character not figuring things out, it is much worse.She writes well and there were several compelling side characters. Plus, it was refreshing for the book to be based on Chinese folklore and based on Asian culture rather than reading yet another book about the effing Greek gods or a YA dystopian set in a future America:)

Ugh, I hate when that happens, too. That's why I'm always wary of any "mystery." Not many authors handle revealing things well.
i am so visually stimulated! i can't rave enough of your reviews! i love your reviews!!!sounds like audio's not the way to go with this book. am i right?
Yeah, the audio got frustrating pretty fast. It felt like it dragged in that format. I'd definitely rec going book form on this one:)And thanks for the kind words!

you're welcome Flann! always a pleasure to read your reviews!
Catie sent me the way of this review and it has made me so happy.I wanted to shout at Eon the entire time. The name of her dragon was easy-peasey.
And this kids is also why you should never do drugs.
nice graph! I'm at the frustrated part of the book, but still reading. I also laughed at the sluuuuut remark!
