Where Has The Time Gone?

Hello to everyone!  Sorry I haven't updated in a while, swimming and school've been keeping me busy.  This is another class post, but it is also a review post!
The book I just read was Eon: Dragoneye Reborn.  It's by Alison Goodman, an Australian writer.  The second one is a work in progress and I cannot wait until it's published!  The main storyline is set in the past (from the way it is described, China), with twelve dragons ruling the heavens.  Dragoneyes are the men (no women) who can control the dragons' powers using their Hua, an energy force that runs through all living things.  There are twelve dragons, one for each animal on the Chinese calendar.  For example: the Dog Dragon, the Tiger Dragon, the Goat Dragon, etc.  The main two dragons in this book are the Rat Dragon and the Dragon Dragon, or the Mirror Dragon.  Nobody has seen the Mirror Dragon for 500 years, until a boy named Eon reawakens it.  However, Eon has a secret: he is actually a she, her true name is Eona.  Can Eon use the dragon's power to stop the evil Lord Ido from taking over?  read the book!  you can get it at Barnes and noble or your local library, which is what I did. 
I thought the plot of this book was fresh and new, and the author puts a lot of description into her writing.  I was so engrossed in the book that I finished it in two days (and that's pretty impressive considering I can only read at night)!  I am eagerly awaiting the sequel.  Every scene was so incredibly detailed, even going as far to mention the bricks crumbling on a faraway corner on a wall!  I hope you all enjoy it as much as I did!
