Fence, Vol. 5: Rise by C.S. Pacat
lighthearted
medium-paced
"You were worried about failing in the eyes of someone else. When you fence don’t think about the outcome of the match. Don’t think about winning. Winning is a distraction. Think about fencing."
- Fence, Vol 5
Tropes: Sports (Fencing), Boarding School, Enemies to Lovers, Slow Burn
Representation: LGBT, POC
CW: Parental Abandonment, Minor Injury
*This review is for Fence Vol 1-5
Fence is fun, quick to read, and has lovable characters. The representation is weaved in throughout and just kind of casually exists, which I loved. It is heavy on the fencing (more so than any sports romance I’ve ever read), but everything is explained, so I actually learned a lot. The romance is very slow burn, though, so if you're impatient, I would maybe wait until more issues are out to start reading. However, I'm patient, so I’m looking forward to seeing how the rest of the storyline progresses.
