I've recently started reading the Halo books, and it's been a long time coming. This is my seventh book and the first six, I absolutely ate up! Ran right through each of them in about a week or so! This book though, feels like I ran right into a brick wall. I've had this book for about 3 months and everytime I open it back up, I see I'm still only a quarter of the way through and I just groan in agony because I havent gotten it out of the way. I don't review things as often as I should, and when I do, it's typically a negative one which makes that habit all the worse. I'm giving this a two stars. The prologue pulled me in but everything after that, good god, make it end. I'm flirting with edge of just giving up on this one, and I'm kind of ashamed as I'm a huge Halo fan. Have been since Halo: Combat Evolved in 01 when a friend let me play. Even bought the PC version cause I never had an Xbox and loved the multiplayer! But this book is gutting me slow like a fish. Honestly painful.

The book gives the back story of the Covenant beginnings while taking you into a new potential area that can play a role in future Halo novels or games. The book is a slow read and not that thrilling due to the lack of action packed scenes. The details in the action scenes are not clear enough to enjoy it as it should... thus my 4 star ranking.

This is definately worth a read for a halo fan. But at no point did I feel close enough to the characters to care if they lived or died, or if their existence mattered beyond themselves, within the context of the larger Halo universe.
