I feel like the heavy usage of metaphor has me avoiding the read in general to this point, but this last segment about dad taking a trek through the snow to get to his workshop, and the remainder of that day is pretty good story telling. I’m invested in the story at this point, 25% in.

Guin as a 5yr old feels does not ring true to the age imo. I would peg her at age 7 minimum, maybe 8. Her understanding of things, and her use of language feels older than 5.
