Spartans in the books need to be power scaled.. really good military sci-fi with all the details that make Halo awesome. Voro Nar ‘Mantakree (Covenant Elite) was a very cool antagonist to the story and the chapters where he is the focus are super cool.
10/10 Amazing, great addition to the series. Follows the Spartan 3 projects and adds an insane amount of lore and revisits characters. Explains more forerunner lore which I didnt care about before but its quite interesting to me now and gives me hope for future installments to see what happens. Sad Kurt dies but it's a fitting end to his journey, after losing so many of his Spartans, making the sacrifice to protect them 'forever' works well. He's a good guy, sad he's gone. Nice to see the emotional side to them all.

Originally I gave it a 4 star, but that didnt sit right with me. That extra star comes down to the nostalgia I feel for this book and the others released in this era of Halo.
Its a good book, so good that I have read it several times over the years and listened to the audiobook 3 times.
While its not incredible, it always makes me smile.
I loved this book however there were some miss spelled words and some double printed words as well I don’t know if it’s the computer I have or what but that’s why I dropped it a star. The ending also slightly made me cry. But so worth it.
