An imperfect follow up.

The book does a better job of feeling more like a halo book but it loses some of the strengths of the first book. The characters lose their plot armor which is good. But they aren't as personable in this book. Again Dorian feels like the most realistic character of the four and has the best voice actor. Owen is a brick in this one, which is fine. But he wasn't in the last book.

Victor definitely got the development he lacked in the first book but it doesn't really get as good of development as the others did. We need to see more into that character's thoughts and motivations. Evie and Saskia don't get as much development as they did in the first one, but thag is fine. Both were touched on and most of their character building was done in the first book.

In short, the story is more believable for a halo book but still feels a bit weird. All and all though, I enjoyed it. It was a charming little foray into ONI shenanigans and how less informed characters handle thing in the halo universe. I look forward to a possible continuation of this story.

Voice Acting and Audio Quality were peak. Dorian's voice especially was good.

The story in itself was good. All five main characters were memorable and all five had good subplots save maybe Victor. But this story is very "Highschoolly" for Halo. Way too PG, way too light hearted. I'm not saying kill any of the main cast or traumatize them. I actually think that would be a mistake. But they have a lot of plot armor for a bunch of kids with a handful of useful skills. In the older books, authors casually killed off Spartans and whole platoons of marines to emphasize how brutal and unforgiving war is. Halo is not a light hearted universe or at all safe for normal people. It's very very jarring for these characters to do what they do in this universe. Otherwise, great read. I actually expect the follow up book to basically be better in every way because it won't have this book's problem hopefully!
