Definitely for a younger crowd, but great characters and ideas.

I believe that I'm older than the target audience for this book, but still enjoyed it immensely. A simple story with dragons, a boy and a kingdom (or two). I recommend it for children and adults.

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!

A friend lent me this, and it was an easy, fun book. The writing left something to be desired, but otherwise it was a fun, adventurous read.
