While this book isn't bad, it just didn't connect with me like the other ones. This is more what I expected for me Halo novel when I went into these: something that doesn't have complex characters or themes and it's just kind of pulpy. This book just doesn't really touch the audience like the other ones, and only engages the reader in a surface level way. The actions were written but everything else felt pretty funky. The climax is well delivered, and it has a pretty satisfying ending. This book just isn't on the level of the other ones, but a Halo fan like me can get some form of satisfaction out of it.

A beevy of unique perspectives and some pretty great prose make this one of my favourite Halo novels.

(3.5 stars) As Halo books go, this one is one of the better books. It’s great in terms of adding back story to characters (Johnson, Tartarus, etc.) and events (the fall of Harvest, the dawn of the Age of Reclamation). Its story is fine, but was nothing memorable and there’s some gratuitous sex thrown in at the end for no good reason.
