Read Me: Downer's Hatching Magic

Talk about finally finishing a book that you started last year.

Good day to the first post of my 2017 year, I've finally managed to finish a young adults, or probably more accurate as a childrens book, written by Ann Downer entitled Hatching Magic.

HIT ME

Talk about getting yourself cooked up into a good modern day, mixed with some old school stuff from before 15th century (I could just guess exactly when), fantasy adventure about...

A. A Wyvern lost in modern times
B. Some covertly pure but silly magic moments in trying to look for it
C. A young girls summer adventure
D. Did I mention that it's family friendly Wyvern chocolate loving mayhem

Then you've got a classic convert demon, some hidden agenda wizard enemy and a stand alone story of what it's like to properly string a fantasy kids adventure.

CONE CLUDE

I've been in a binge of fluctuating genre picking of my books these days. Ranging from these types of fantasy adventure to a complete biocraphy edition of some political opinion back in Twains era. The fruits arent meant to be made into a salad so I've scrunched up to taste them one by one.

My first sacrifice this year is finishing Hatching Magic. A completely light hearted story about everything stated on the above section.

You've got your typical good wizards, evil / bad ones, plus the always neutral but surprise is actually blood related to elements of the plot specifically to the good wizards. Wink, wink at the end bit of the book.

Everything is an enjoyable chapter, unless you are a cynical kid out to oust every last drop of menage oh things cant be this silly. Which, to my opinion, the flow of events are quite alright, good flow for kids.

The universe though, which could use a bit more flare of characters with pop up personality, is enough to build a good ground. Probably what the book is set out to do. This isnt an advisable read to lay bad hands but enough to lay good hands. You could put up mystical four bright stars in the sky, but its not a highly recommended title.

As stated on the previous paragraph, it seems to be a ground for a good starting universe or series. Much of the side characters, antagonist specifically, has a hinted back story or source story that needs an expanded elaboration.

If you do plan on expanding your range of light hearted books, give this good fruit a try. You might end up like me rooting for that one side character that wanted a good life out of everything that happened in the book, despite its lacking.

This gets a passive aggreasive thumbs up.
