Man! Too much violence.

I initially planned to launch into a long long talk about Eon - Eona. But my anticipation in reading Eona has caused all my thoughts to fled away. So I'll just talk briefly about how I felt at the end of Eon. 
The last 20% of the book was both slow and fast at the same time. Everything suddenly got into motion. In only one night, all the dragoneyes were killed brutelessly, the Pearl Emperor (the newly crowned king - aka prince Kygo) had to run away from his own palace and went in hiding, the king's harem was destroyed, his mother, sisters, little brother all died...and Eona, at long last, sucessfully called on her dragon. Yeah, I do share the same annoyed sentiment over Eon's stubborness to accept her true self, Eona. She had unwittingly subdued her dragon by denying Eona. But we can't exactly blame her, can we? I do know of the unfair treatment and horrible fate of women in the old times of Asia. They suffered from the males' aggressiveness and violence as a display of their male prowess. Eona, who had spent her life as a young girl, understood such fear. She is the type of person who in whatever situation always seeks to live. She, therefore, understandably tried to grab at whatever chance she could to shed away her miserable life as a girl. She didn't want to live at the mercy of men. She wanted to be in control of herself and have power. We can see why she did her best to hide the fact that she couldn't summon her dragon power. The girl was terrified. She only wanted to be a typical dragoneye, never asked to be the first Mirror Dragoneye in 500 years. She was involuntarily pushed into the dangerous game of politics, became the hope of the King, the Prince, and the Resistance force. She didn't choose it. She was chosen by destiny. Hence, I believe we should give the young girl some space to accustom to such a leap in status, power and responsibilities. Ryko, Dela and Prince Kygo expected too much from Eona. So when they found out the truth from Eona, they got violent and angry. Prince Kygo almost killed her. Jeez, the bull. Ryko glared at her all the time and gave her cold shoulders. Even Dela lashed at her verbally. Everyone blamed her without thinking about Eona's situation and dilemma. I feel terribly sorry for the girl.
Imagine my bewilderment when I read Eona summary. Of course, I already knew there would be romance in Eona. Still, there was nothing romantic in Eon. Nothing at all. That is if you count violent scenes in which these potential suitors hit our girl, Eona without reserves as romantic. Really, this love triangle springs out of nowhere. 
Eon was filled with violence, and bloodshed. So if you are ones who cannot bear violence and extreme love-hate relationships, then I don't think these books are your cup of tea.
