Minsoo’s story was reviewed in Lightspeed Magazine:

“I bounced hard off Minsoo Kang’s story in the first New Suns, but also noted that perhaps I wasn’t the reader for that particular piece and that other readers might find it to be brilliant. Here Minsoo Kang offers “Before the Glory of Their Majesties” and I am definitely the reader for this one. Fans of the darker elements of Game of Thrones and similar will be smitten within a few paragraphs. And after a few pages, they will be hungry for a series set in this macabre world. Many authors attempt to write captivating dark high fantasy, but so often it reads as generic or derivative. Kang makes putting together a captivating story look easy. And then, just when you think, “Damn, this is good, I wonder where it’s all going,” Kang turns everything on its head. What follows? I don’t even want to tell you. But it’s essential reading for writers engaged in the act of telling stories, as well as for readers who casually chew through book after book, story after story. It’s unexpected and kind of breathtaking, and I don’t want to spoil it for you any more than that.”
