Cryptum and Silentium are the best Halo books.

Silentium is good. Cryptum is not.

Cryptum was good. Primordium on the other hand is the single most boring book ever written by mankind.

Contact Harvest and the Flood are my personal favourites in the series. The training of the Colonial Militia on Harvest and the ODST skirmishes on Installation 04 are some of my favourite storytelling just in general.

Can't dispute that. It took me months to slog through it because I could only read it in two or three page intervals.

Promordium was so weird. I can remember certain parts of it but not how they fit together. It was such a hard book to get through with how boring it was.

I can't believe you managed to get through the full thing. I fell into a coma after that merdian mission

Still more exciting than Halo 5's audio logs.

Probably ignored because it implied the Didact would still be the antagonist in Halo 5.

It's been mentioned, it just hasn't gone anywhere.

In fact a crewman from the Rubicon kills the Arks monitor.

I was disappointed with the story for sure, it felt so uneventful and just... Dull.

That's a kind way of putting it.
