Hatch The Dragons Of Laton edition by James Stevens Literature Fiction eBooks

I think this book was written for a young audience, MG to young YA, though the age and circumstances of the young boy seems to move rapidly (from boy to married). I still very much enjoyed the story premise. Young Ammon starts as a caretaker of dragon eggs and ends up bonded to and escaping with a rare hatchling. Nothing new to this book, but it was well written and the world well built without stopping the prose with large info dumps on how everything works.

Problems came from the characters themselves. Ammon does not make selfish or stupid decisions that come with being a teenager, no matter his secret bloodline. He is good, completely and unnervingly. His arranged married is just too convenient and the wife who starts out as a character that is intriguing starts acting like a spoiled princess. Those who are evil are very evil and each person plays their role nicely.

I would recommend this for a younger audience (6th and up?) who likes a clean adventure with a little romance and, of course, dragons.

Hatch The Dragons Of Laton edition by James Stevens Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

If you are turned on by characters whose actions are motivated by human emotions you can relate to, then you will enjoy this book.

I did.

Hope denied, fear, anger, scorn, reflection, presence of mind, duty, loss ......this book's story & characters have convinced me that Mr. Stevens thoroughly enjoyed himself during the production of his book.

The wrongs don't get righted... It's not that simple in real life and James Stevens doesn't pretend that humans are either only good or evil.

Equal time and credit is given to many if not all of this story's characters.
Upon reflection if you replace the reptilian supporting character with anything of immense value that is coveted in today's world, you can get a modern story. Just add suits and corporate takeovers.

I enjoyed the book in large part because it used fantasy to tell a very dark story well.
Wonderful read.
The publishing errors are numerous and many are egregious. They really ruin the reading experience. If I'd paid .99 I wouldn't be so upset, but for 5.00 the author should have provided his readers much better proofreading.

Story was cute, and I read to the end, but I won't be continuing on in the series.
Synopsis of the story
Hatch is a story about a young man named Ammon who accidentally links and forms a connection with a dragon. In the midst of forming this connection, he makes an enemy of Tirate, a selfish villainous man who wants nothing more than to be King. But in order to do so, he needs to first be linked to a dragon.. and that dragon happens to be Ammons. This sends Ammon on an unimaginable adventure that's full of twists and turns!

Review
I give this story a confident five stars. While there were three small editing errors I spotted and one or two instances where I felt the plot was a little predictable, everything else about the story was near flawless. When I started this book, I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about it because the synopsis doesn't really tell you much about what the book is going to be about. But after the first chapter, I was hooked and couldn't put the book down for the life of me. Normally, I'm a sappy reader and have to have a lot romance in a book to read it. This book was something entirely different in that aspect than what I'm used to reading. However, it's the sheer creativity that captivated me into being so glued. Stevens did a wonderful job of creating a world that you could see clearly without ever being confused about what was going on. Overall, the characters were all really lovable.. even the dragons! I wasn't expecting it to end the way it did which leaves me very eager to read the next book! I definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves YA with a good adventure!

BELOW WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS

From the very beginning I was hooked by the setting and Ammon, who was a tender.. basically, he kept the fires going to warm the dragon eggs until they hatched and made a link with a knight. Defying the rules by extreme odds, Ammon linked himself with a golden dragon. I really liked Ammon as a character, though I have to admit that his cluelessness drove me a little nuts in the beginning. But as the story goes on, he matures and grows as a character, gaining knowledge about the things he was clueless about. Which is kinda cool that he grew so much from where he started.

I absolutely loved his dragon Fulgid as well! He was just so cute! I adored that him and Ammon shared a special connection. I also liked that Fulgid accepted El, even when Ammon was unsure of her. I really liked how strong willed El was and I'm very thankful that there was some romance in this book. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and can't wait for the sequel!
Really enjoyed the storyline for the first ~90% of the book; the characters were (mostly) believable if a bit standard / templated, reading some character or scene descriptions made those parts come to life. Absolutely adored Fulgid and the way Stevens so perfectly conveyed the personality of a character that almost never speaks.

That said, the ending seemed rushed, and there were a few plot points that went completely unexplained. There was also more exposition about events that were transpiring and less interaction between characters "in real time" for the last parts of the book.

Lastly -- and this is just speculation about a potential plot element foreshadowed for a sequel -- there was a little oddness near the end about a cross necklace one knight was wearing and bequeathed to another character; my initial reaction at this was that it seemed like a future book might somehow try to tie in Christianity with the plot, which I think would just be.... weird and out of place. (Nothing against the religion, just that the potential for trying to blend it with the existing storyline would be a really tough sell, IMO.) But, as I said, it's pure speculation at this point, so this last part of my review does not factor into how I felt about the book or its storyline. I'd still read it anyway.
I think this book was written for a young audience, MG to young YA, though the age and circumstances of the young boy seems to move rapidly (from boy to married). I still very much enjoyed the story premise. Young Ammon starts as a caretaker of dragon eggs and ends up bonded to and escaping with a rare hatchling. Nothing new to this book, but it was well written and the world well built without stopping the prose with large info dumps on how everything works.
