Primordium
I could not sit through another novel of Sangheili hubris.
Funny you say that because Greg Bear said the main theme of Primordium is hubris. So what, do you prefer a different kind of hubris?
OT: I'm interested in Glasslands, atm, because I want to see how the humans and Elites' relationships evolve throughout the book, something Travis is spectacular at. I also seem to be the only one in the Universe forum who has a clue as to how Karen Traviss writes.
I'm not a big fan of Karen Traviss, that woman is a -blam!-! :P
I enjoy her writing, but this is the way I can see Halo going...
Halsey is to be majorly demonised until everyone in the universe hates her (even though she's done morally questionable actions, she's like a human version of the Librarian), the Spartans and Mendez are going to have a major character derailment for the sake of drama because there's nothing to do in the MDS. I do not understand why Mendez is going to hate Halsey, he has previously been all in favour of her actions, it's Halsey herself that has had doubts.
ONI better not be acting like pricks and screwing over mankinds best hope at an alliance with somebody useful....
have you by any chance read the Gears of War novels? And played the games of course? She did a stunning job of keeping the characters and their personalities in check with no melodrama at all, only necessary events and actions; why do you think Epic let her write Gears 3? Surely not because they felt she derailed their characters. In fact, if anything is to go by when looking at those books, she hates melodrama. None of the characters are mopey, not even Dom (who had to mercy kill his own wife for god's sakes). They're all the characters we know and love.
Mendez hating Halsey is likely brought about from being reintroduced to her and having time to think it over. And do you really think 343i would let her go through with it if they didn't think it acceptable?
People seem to confuse character devolopment with melodrama on this site.
