I wasn't a big fan of the last half, tbh. I love sevenfists' writing generally and thought the story was very well done, but it already felt like literally every Sid/Geno, coming out, Russia sucks, etc. story ever written, to the point that I kept seriously wondering whether I'd read it somewhere before. The last half then sort of petered out into a bunch of repetitive coming out scenes and also hit my pet peeves and the deja vu moments even harder. I mean it's still miles better than practically everything in the tag these days and I'm being very nitpicky, but yeah.
