As a Halo fan, particularly of Halo 4, I was excited to dive into the Forerunner lore. However, I found the prose dry, slow, and generally unengaging. While it’s arguable more of a soft sci-fi narrative with a hard sci-fi shell, I suspect if you are into more technical approaches to storytelling you might find more enjoyment in it.
