I'm still loving this. Somehow I picture Zorya as one of the supporting characters that's hypercritical of the hero(ine) that we never really get into, so it's refreshing to see a story where she's the main focus instead of the messiah. Usually people like Zorya aren't portrayed as particularly sympathetic characters, which is why I like this take--the anger is still there and quite unapologetic, but at the same time there's good reason for it while not making her seem like a woobie.
