really liked it

(Synopsis) - It is 2555, more than two years after the Master Chief went MIA following a decisive conflict on Installation 00—the massive Forerunner construct known as the Ark, as part of the final chapter in humanity’s bloody thirty-year struggle against the overwhelming forces of the Covenant. Now, as a tenuous peace exists between the humans and the Elites, a startling scientific discovery is made and the riddle behind its Forerunner origins could very well seal the fate of the entire galaxy within a matter of weeks.

(Review) - The expansion of the Halo rings/ the forerunners/ and the Ark lore I was all here for. As the games do a good enough job but this book not only expands upon that but also continues the story of halo from the events of Halo 3! The Chief is still MIA and the human/elite relations are peaceful BUT war is still possible to break out again between a few pockets of resistance. Until the halo rings activate and a threat far worse then a 30 year squabble! So humanity and sanghili have to come together to fight this new threat! And I was completely here for it. The story even though interesting, for me the biggest take away was the lore expansion and the dialogue between each of the characters it was top notch and what kepted me coming back and wanting to keep reading because it was so interesting! Moments between human and AI logic or human emotion and stoic honourable sanghili way of life! It was all fascinating and definitely the reason why you should read this book! Whether your a halo fan or not just read for the character interaction and you'll love it and if your a halo fan you'll love that it continues the story from Halo 3 one of the best Halos in my opinion.
