What what your thoughts on this newly released book? Personally, I thought the story wasn't very good and left me with more questions than it answered. Another thing I didn't like, was the time it took for events to unfold. It moved kinda slow.

However, the ideas of the story and some parts where pretty interesting.

TL;DR Version:
1)What did you think of Cryptum?
2)Which should I believe, Cryptum or Halo: Legends?

The 'more questions than answers' bit is because it is the first of a trilodgy.

I'll remain a soldier until the war is won.

You should believe both. They're both accurate.
To a point.
The forerunners arnt really the benevolent, helpful race that we thought they where.
Theyre arrogant, slef rightious, pompus asshats.

I'm not sure what you're looking for.

Just felt like some non-fiction book with facts spewed all oveer the place.

Same here. I guess their 'preserve all life' thing isnt as true as we thought it was.

I am Field Master Avu Med 'Telcam, Servant of the Abiding Truth, and I have many brothers.

A god who creates tools is still a god. It is not for us to impose qualifications upon the divine or presume to guess its intentions.

You should believe both of them because they are both canon. (Aside from Odd One Out.)

Who really cares what I say, right?

1. I looooooved Cryptum. Frickin' creeping me out with the Flood being started on the pets. Also in the end when Bornstellar becomes Didact caught me by surprise. The Precursor ending was awesome. I'm glad Cryptum is in a trilogy.

2. Cryptum. Origins is pretty much non-canon as it is rampant Cortana's ideas.
