As Yet Unsent was included in my digital copy of Harrow the Ninth, so I was lucky enough to read it pretty much immediately. What made me very excited was the more direct interrogation of Empire, as a concept and reality. Recently, a lot of fantasy media I’ve read casually throw out the word “empire” to describe their setting, but they fail to address the terrible violence that word contains. Muir’s going the distance! Have you ever witnessed the brainwashed watch someone else get differently brainwashed! Nobody is getting away with anything!
