** spoiler alert ** 
 I was not going to read this book simply because of how unbelievably conceited the author was about the book and herself... I mean, seriously, you made two books that won a bunch of awards, we get it. There are internationally famous authors who've got more awards than you do lady, and my, do they ever handle their fame better than you. 
 Ok, let's be real; this book is pretty good. I guess the only things I didn't like was that I could guess important plot points over fifty pages before they happen. I shit you not. I knew from the start that Eona was only picked by the dragon because she was female... I mean, it wasn't hard to figure out.... I guess I saw that plot point literally four hundred pages before it happened. Scary. Okay, this book does get bashed for one common point: that Eona gets healed of her lameness and how cliche and unempowering that is. Yeah, I can see from that standpoint. I mean, getting an illness/disability cured is some people's dream, but overpowering it and living confidently with a challenge like that... It's so much more admirable. 
 I guess that's really it. This book is good otherwise. I recommend it!
