Synopsis
Lindír is one of the twin children of the Queen of Hvalheim, cursed to be born with the body of a dragon. For the first sixteen years of their life, they were locked away beneath the castle, allowed only brief forays into the surface world. But now a mysterious knightess from a foreign land has freed them, and Lindír has been given free reign over the world outside, free reign to try to build themself into the mighty dragon they've always wanted to be. But it's not going to be easy; the world is dangerous for dragons, and an even greater danger may lie in the darkest parts of Lindír's damaged heart.

Thanks to a birthday gift from her loving sister, this trans girl is set on an adventure of self-discovery, exploration and love! The story may or may not include catgirls, deities and Full-dive VRMMO’s. :p I am bad at writing story descript
When I was a child I would scour the library for stories about horrors and monsters and of course, dragons. It was the type of thing I could not get enough of. Then I grew older and I felt I was not supposed to read stories like that anymore - that enjoying them was childish and would not help me grow as a writer. Soon after that, I lost my love of reading for a decade and a half.
This isn't the story that rekindled that love, it cannot claim that title. But it did recapture that same magic in a way I haven't ever really seen in other webnovels - many of those have ideas I would have found less palatable as a child or were tapping in to genres I was inexperienced in at the time (or at least found them weird). Barring a few scarce mentions of s*x in the story, mentions which easily could have been ignored anyway, I could easily see this as a book I would've binged into midnight when I was younger. The pacing is extremely tight - keeps you hooked and wanting more all the way until the end.
And that is exactly what it did for me.

This is one of the best stories on Scribblehub and its low number of views is a travesty. Yes, it's much darker than the average Scribblehub story, not wish fulfilment fluff or open-ended power fantasy, so that was a strike against it. And the non-humanoid protagonist might be offputting for some. But it's a powerful, well-constructed novel that takes its main character from childhood trauma through the ups and downs of independence and building new connections and relationships, and finally to an ending that feels inevitable, given the character and plot threads established so far. I think it's probably Saffron's best work, and it doesn't lack much for being professionally publishable.

This has overall been a very interesting story to read, with many twists. A fully dragon main character that has their own flaws, though they're relatable considering your with them the entire journey. Very heavy on the trauma, though great story overall. I look forward to how the story goes on from here. Hopefully less trauma.
