This was excellent and a great starting point for HALO newbies. Even though it‘s an IP based book, the sci-fi is really well written. I enjoyed it!

Ok, so I FINALLY did it and restarted the hall Book series! I LOVE Halo and am a huge fan of the games (favorite game series). Even though I basically knew the story this book kept me turning the pages so fast that when I first started it I only stopped reading because work was picking up! 😭 If you were ever a fan of the games or just like action, CHECK THIS SERIES OUT!

I'm not really a gamer, but I LOVE the Halo novelisations!

This is my favourite of the Halo series, a prequel to the Xbox game, focusing on the 'acquisition' and training process of the army of Spartans. It really helps set up the entire series and is an excellent story. Master Chief and Cortana are the best ☺️💕

Why yes I am a crazy person, running on no sleep and have been playing a video game with my husband for the past 5 hours!! 😳😳😳😳 #gamedragon #bookdragon

BookFreakOut Those games are so fun though! If you have even a passing interest in sci fi you should listen to the Hunt the Truth podcast they did as Halo 5 hype. Doesn't require any game knowledge and the storytelling is phenomenal. Have relistened probably 3 times personally. 8y
Seekingtardis @BookFreakOut that's awesome! I was just looking at getting the book series so I could get the whole story so I will definitely give it a listen! And they are fun! We just finished 3 on legendary (we played for like 7 hours straight!) 😅😳😍 8y
Laura317 What fun!! I do some gaming with my son on his PS4. Loads of fun bonding. 8y
Seekingtardis @Laura317 our son joins sometimes but he likes to play on his own then spend HOURS telling us exactly what he did 😂😂 bonding is wonderful! 8y

I really enjoy the Halo series of books, especially the ones by Eric Nylund. The Fall of Reach is however my favourite! It is a prequel to the Halo games, and covers the creation and training of the Spartans. This is an AMAZING book! The Masterchief and Cortana make an invincible team 😆

Riveted_Reader_Melissa I really should try these books sometime, I loved playing the first few games with my nephew. 8y
Bookworm54 @Riveted_Reader_Melissa They are very good! Lots of action but with a storyline too. They don't read like they are based on a game, but like novels in their own right 🙂 8y
Riveted_Reader_Melissa @Bookworm54 That's very good to know, and it makes a big difference with a book based on something else. 8y

#Shelfie for the #24in48 #readathon! It's made for Little Golden Books, but I cram in whatever will fit. Well, not cram. That would be rude to the books.
