Thursday Tea is a weekly meme hosted by yours truly. To play along, all you need is some tea, a book, and the will to answer some very simple questions: what tea are you drinking (and do you like it)? What book are you reading (and do you like it)? Tell us a little about your tea and your book, and whether or not the two go together.
The tea: For this Thursday Tea I didn’t actually drink tea. Shocking, I know! But, honestly, it was roasting in my apartment last night and anything hot would have been unbearable. So I drank some lemonade instead. Yay! I love lemonade: it’s so refreshing.
The book: I was right in the middle of Alison Goodman’s Eon: Dragoneye Reborn. It was quite thrilling and had a really excellent plot, but I hated just about every character in it, including Eon, the narrator. And by the time I finished it this morning it had given me a big fat tension headache, so I’m very conflicted about it at the moment. Ahem.
Here’s a summary of the story from Amazon:
Eon has been studying the ancient art of Dragon Magic for four years, hoping he’ll be able to apprentice to one of the twelve energy dragons of good fortune. But he also has a dark secret. He is actually Eona, a sixteen-year-old girl who has been living a dangerous lie for the chance to become a Dragon-eye, the human link to an energy dragon’s power. It is forbidden for females to practice the Dragon Magic and, if discovered, Eon faces a terrible death. After a dazzling sword ceremony, Eon’s affinity with the twelve dragons catapults him into the treacherous world of the Imperial court, where he makes a powerful enemy, Lord Ido. As tension builds and Eon’s desperate lie comes to light, readers won’t be able to stop turning the pages…
Compatability: Lemonade and Eon don’t go together at all. Eon is set in an alternate Asian world, and so something like Oolong or ginger tea would have gone much better with it.
