An interesting retelling of Snow White, in this version there are dragons and those who represent or speak for them. Later on we find something really interesting about how dragons come to be.
Biancarosa is the princess who is very much loved by her mother, her father seems to have issues from the beginning and as Flora (Biancarosas madre) seems to decline in health, her daughter wishes to help.
As the story flashes forward in time, several years, we meet new characters and find out some interesting new facts. I wasn't able to develop much of a liking for any of the characters even if the premise was rather interesting! I think the time leap had a part in that, it split right when I should [I think,] made a connection and then it ended before I could establish another.
However, this is a really unique twist on Snow White...it has DRAGONS in it! :D

I just loved the beginning of this short story! What an interesting twist on the story of Snow White.

... Huh?
I enjoyed this story, the worldbuilding and the characters, but I also felt like everything happened way too fast. I suppose that is understandable, given the number of pages, but it still left me with a confused feeling and I wish some parts were elaborated more, or given more time to progress.
Still, this was an awesome Snow White retelling with dragons and technology in one world. I loved the dragons and the magic surrounding them, and I loved the ending of the story as well.
