Halo: The Flood by William C. Dietz
4.0
It's taking everything in me not to just finish the next two books...neow. If I'm not thinking about Halo, I'm probably asleep.
Despite my concerns starting The Flood, which were validated in a sense, this was still highly enjoyable, well-written, and emotional in the right ways. On the brightest side, Dr. Halsey isn't in this one, Cortana doesn't piss me off for existing, and the cast is expanded; we even get POVs from the Sangheili. Not Zamamee and Yayap becoming some of my favorite characters. And, we discover a secret that the internet doesn't know bc I searched....for 45mins.
Unfortunately, the character depth Eric Nylund established with John-117 wasn't reflected as much as I'd like. I've been living my life asking ✨what would Master Chief do✨ since playing The Master Chief Collection on Xbox when it came out 10 years ago. There were some things that Master Chief did that he would, in fact, not do.
