Finally read that first chapter! Really liked the conversation about if you are actually good at what you do. Can you trust a girl-dad in his praises. Very relatable lol.
Was thinking to myself for the first little portion "damn do all they make is weapons and armor?" so when it came out through the dialogue that she is better at making a plow share because she's more experienced I thought "Nice, plow share mentioned." Also liked how it does a bit of exposition in revealing that the city(?empire?) requirements for weapons and armor are new to this war. That her father has been through war times before but that for Guin it's the first time in at least her working life that she's had to consistently make things that would go in an armory.
Hope you have a wonderful day!

Thank you so much for reading! I hope the typos werent so egregious — I do a lot of my writing on my iPad and then convert the text to html so I might have had some technical difficulties 😭.
I'm so glad you like Guin and her dad so far! He's such a girl dad, and he always just wants to do what's best for her. There hasn't been any sort of conflict since he was a young man, and that was just civil, so I'm glad that showed through without me saying it! Exposition is something I struggle with a lot because I love to yap haha. I'm so grateful you took time to read and I hope I'll have more parts up soon!
