The first book introduces our protagonist as handicapped which was fantastic representation and a breath of fresh air, but she is healed at the end of the first book. A topic that is handled extremely well and to be incredibly powerful. As one can see, this is a rich diverse cast that isn’t often addressed in literature and is especially neglected in fantasy.Īnother topic this duology challenges and mulls over is the morally grey character and the concept of possible redemption. The books also include characters of different gender identity that challenge the cultural gender roles of this society. The book centers on young girl struggling to understand herself while pretending to be a boy and later attempting to reconcile her now ingrained nuances that are unaccepted in girls in this society while also struggling to do what is right as our heroine. The world is incredibly rich and detailed with a culture heavily steeped in tradition and dependent of gender roles that opens up great dialogue on the topic outside of this fantasy setting. Additionally, since there was no break between the two books and details from one book or the other have blurred together I am writing only one review for the duology.Įon/a is phenomenal. Since I dove straight from Eon into Eona, I decided to not write a review until after I finished the first.
