The Fall of Reach: 9/10
The Flood: 6.5/10
First Strike: 8.5/10
Ghosts of Onyx: 8.5/10
Contact Harvest: 8.5/10
The Cole Protocol: 8.0/10
Evolutions: Not Yet Read
Cryptum: 9.5/10
In terms of the wide scale of literature available in the world, none of these books deserve a perfect 10/10, however I did enjoy all of them (Even my low rated The Flood). Cryptum may be my favorite, if only for the wealth of knowledge it provides the reader to the universe of Halo. Contact Harvest got marks off for its corny and kind of forced romance. Cole Protocol was cheesy at times and did a lot of telling without just showing. The Flood was low due to me not enjoying the writing style in general.
EDIT: Ghosts of Onyx got marks off because of that dumb decision Kurt made not to take his MJOLNIR into battle. I understand pride and being part of the group but seriously isn't it more important to have the best equipment available so you can save yourself and your squad more efficiently?
Haha I agree.
Also, I never meant to insinuate that the Halo novels are literary master pieces of any kind.
Great post!
