Halo: Point of Light by Kelly Gay

Rating: C+
I'd probably give this an A- if not for 3 huge problems
1: I still don't like the Forerunner saga stuff and will never find it interesting. My mind went blank whenever the Librarian went through a monologue
2: The Guardians plot line is covered and then forgotten despite it having a massive impact on the crew's goals and missions.Seriously, Niko is gonna go back to his home planet, Lessa is gonna to to college, and Rion and Ram are supposed to take over the salvage operation, yet Cortana's stranglehold on the galaxy backed by absurdly powerful Forerunner tech is never addressed.
3: Several character arcs and plotlines go unresolved with no sign of any follow up. They wrap up the arcs for Spark, the Librarian, and the other AIs, but the entire Ace of Spades crew is left hanging. The book just ends out of nowhere. I was briefly convinced my digital copy had been messed up.

Made 343 (the ai) and the Forerunner saga stuff enjoyable (in as much as it deals with the fallout of launching the Halo rings). Truly remarkable.I forgot Geth gets iced in Halo 4 Spartan Ops.

Fun and easy, with some delightful banter, but really needed a second edit. If you're determined to contract liver poisoning, take a drink every time Kai or Paedyn meets the others' eyes, or someone laughs. You'll be comatose within 75 pages.

A lot of this is very good, especially the final 25%, but the drama is pretty bad at times. Frederik only existed to drive a wedge between Kane and Arwen, and the cast is a lot less mature and likable this time. Way too many interrupted thoughts and pregnant pauses.
The gambling scene is aso unbelievably terrible and dropped a few points.
