I loved this. Not as great as the main ones with Master Chief as the MC but it was great nonetheless. I loved the characters Tom and Lucy and definitely Kurt, it’s actually a sad story of the Spartans going MIA but everyone knows they have a purpose and you can feel the main character group as a close team fighting against the covenant. I greatly enjoyed this audiobook it was so entertaining

Fantastic read, with one of the most compelling Spartans as our lead and a cracking good finale.

Not as good as I remembered it being unfortunately, but still quite good - I really wish Nylund had written the follow on from this, as by all accounts [b:Halo: Glasslands|11915781|Halo Glasslands|Karen Traviss|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1310810752s/11915781.jpg|16875322] and [b:Halo: The Thursday War|13575318|Halo The Thursday War|Karen Traviss|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1336423212s/13575318.jpg|19157332] are steaming piles of shit. Nevertheless I'll probably try them at some point just for completion's sake.
I really wish the novel had spent more time with the Spartan III's - they were the most interesting part of the book, and they feel almost glossed over. The last two thirds is predominantly pretty dull action, but Nylund's creativity within the Halo universe is without question. Some really neat ideas.
