There is only one major "action" scene in the entire novel, but it's fine because the book is just so interesting. It completely changes your perception of things and twists the Forerunners into a species you wouldn't of expected them to be. But it's by no means a "bad" transformation.

And it was the most epic action scene of the Halo novels. Just imagining the Falco trying to get to the portal whilst the entire Forerunner fleet engages Mendicant Bias with the Halos trying to escape was pulse-pounding to read.

It's definitely worth buying, not only does it shed a whole new light on your view of the Halo series it provides a deeply immersive character-driven storyline and is definitely the best of the Halo novels.
That whole scene was pretty amazing to envision. When it all started going down, I was so gripped. The other, less major, action scenes in the book were also pretty incredible.
It is a slower paced novel, but I loved all the revelations and deeper understanding of the Forerunner species. It was truly like reading a whole new era of the franchise. I sometimes forgot I was reading a Halo novel, tbh (until familiar terms were used). It's a book of intrigue, wonder; and grandeur. I can't wait for Primordium.
