Eon is a predictable YA fantasy that covers very familiar ground, but it is fairly well-constructed and entertaining. I particularly liked the culture of the fantasy Empire, which draws influence from Asian cultures. The story was told in the relatively small stage, mostly the imperial palace complex, and that area was very vividly described. Though the main character, Eon, seemed at times to be annoyingly dense, I liked the gender issues that were explored through her character. I was occasionally bothered by clichés and the predictability of the plot, but I still enjoyed Eon and am planning on reading the second half of the story.
