I skimmed this book. I usually love stories with a female protagonist pretending she's a boy, but this book didn't grab me at all. Lengthy explanations of magic without earning the time taken on it. Eon/Eona could have been interesting, but the hatred of her own sex that had been nurtured into her most of her life --and the incredible internal struggle that would generate-- was barely explored. Granted, this is YA fiction, but that's hardly an excuse. It got better towards the end, so maybe the sequel is great, but I probably won't be reading it. Not enough build-up in this book to draw me in.
