Ling is hated because his birth killed his mother. He hopes that testing will ease his troubles—either his rank will be so low that everyone forgets about him, or it will be so high they'll be forced to respect him. What he doesn't expect is to walk out of the testing chamber with an egg emblazoned on his back. Laughed out of the Monastery, Ling hides himself in Altnoia, where he becomes embroiled in a plot to overthrow King Edan and the Oracle who supports him.
The ringleader behind the plot is Prince Damarion, son of the evil despot who forced King Edan to flee in the first place—but his motives are not anything that Ling could have anticipated. Neither could he anticipate a friendship, or what that friendship could become, and the choices it would force him to make.
The Oracle Hatchling edition by Mell Eight Literature Fiction eBooks
(Taken from my Goodreads Review):The story itself is pretty decent - a young man who's been outcast from his old life at the Monastery where he was either abused or ignored finds his way into the life of another young man who has similar issues, complicated by his being the son of a deposed king and the focus of rebellion by those who wish to return to the corruptness of the past. The two find they're kindred spirits and take to pulling pranks around the castle to enliven the days for each of them. It would have been nice to see more of the pranks these two pulled, but it's not that long of a story. The whole plot around the attempted coup is rather shortened by the shortness of this story, making it almost too simple.
One thing I will say, however, is that Ms. Eight should stay away from describing anything more intimate than a kiss between two people because her description of their intimate moment in bed was absolutely awful, dull, flat, and unreal to boot. I have a hard time believing that a young person who has never had any intimate contact with another before would not be nervous on his first time and that does not happen here.
Otherwise, a nice bit of reading fluff.

The Oracle Hatchling edition by Mell Eight Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
*NOTE This is a review of the entire series*
I love reading LGBTQ+ fiction. I also love reading fantasy books. When the two genres are combined, it's a must read for me. I saw the Oracle series, and fell in love with the covers. After seeing them, I knew I had to read the series. Unfortunately, after reading all four books in the series, it was just okay. There were parts that I liked, but the parts that I disliked outweighed that.
I have different feelings about each of the books. In the first book in the series, The Oracle's Flame, the twincest made me very uncomfortable. I did love the way that both of the guys fell in love with who they did, but the twincest just creeped me out. However, I did think that the next book in the series, The Oracle's Hatchling was enjoyable. I had problems with a few things in the book, but I thought it brought something new and different to the story of the dragon's world that Mell Eight had created. The third book in the series, The Oracle's Golem was really good as well. I liked how the two main characters took the time to build their relationship, instead of just instantly falling in love. I did expect a different ending to The Oracle's Golem, and was really disappointed when it didn't happen. The last book in the series, The Oracle's Sprite, was just weird. I wasn't sure what to think of it at first. when the big plot twist was revealed, I understood it better, but I still thought it was odd. It was definitely my least favorite book in the series.
Even though I have a lot of mixed feelings on The Oracle series, I did find it enjoyable. The ending of The Oracle's Sprite said that there would be a fifth book, but as far as I know, it was never released. If a fifth book does get released, I will probably read it because I've invested a lot in reading the series up until this point.
For a short novelist was great. I feel that the characters could have been fleshed out a bit more. However the overall concept was well put together. The characters sweet, and more than endearing.
If t by is book was not written by smell eight I would not have bought it. She is a good author do not get me wrong. It is just expensive to pay r dollars for a book that is not even 100 pages long. I will admit it is a good story though.
I bought this story because I wanted more dragons from this writer, but while I adored some of her shorts/shorter novellas because of some charming characters, this one also had stuff which I do not like in her works. I cannot advice anybody how to write stuff, but when the story is so short and romance is a pretty important part of it, I want to know more about the characters than I end up learning. I mean, I get why Ling's life in the monastery needed to be shown at least a little bit to hint at his importance, but I ended up knowing so very little about his love interest that I was very irritated when the story finished.
I also believe it is a second book in the series, but the main couple (threesome really) in the previous book were supporting characters here.
I had great expectations for a more developed character(s) in this second book, but no such luck. Although it is made abundantly clear that the protagonists this time is an abused under-dog. If the love interest wasn't ill treated then what's the issue 7yrs later? Also, insect wings!!! Why!!! I thought they were dragons.
But aside from the previously mentioned issues, I was touched by the tenderness of their love. Well done!
