Shadow of Sundered Star

Yes I actually do like how almost every forerunner ancilla was once a living breathing person who had their essence and soul siphoned and immortalised through a digital neurophysical (neural physics!) sublimation process!

It’s genuinely brilliant and makes perfect sense, knowing what the Forerunners could do.

This little bastard was once a MAN!

As I heal, I'm binging Laugh In. It's such a classic comedy show!! It's sad how many things that they make jokes about back then are still true or even worse than they were in the 60s. I think that we should have grown and moved forward together, but unfortunately, we have not. Let's try to make that happen, shall we? That's what I want for Christmas. That and what Dan wants, too... peace and our troops safely at home with their loved ones ❤️ 🙏🏼 I'd be very grateful for that... I'm going to include that in my Thanksgiving prayer... peace and love and flower power!!! 🌼✌🏼❤️

I read six Halo novels last year!!!

I loved Greg Bear's Forerunner novels, they really made me fall in love with the Didact to my surprise (former Didact hater here). His romance with the Librarian was so bitter-sweet and heartbreaking. Ive got to get my hands on Epitaph this year, my heart is gonna hurt >_<

Broken Circle quickly become my comfort read, I think I reread it four or five times. The audiobook is also an absolute standout, narration is phenomenal. G'torik is my absolute king, and the adventures of the Ussans just make me want more stories about them! The shanshayum were also interesting for the first time ever. My eyes have always glazed over at their presence in the past but this was downright fascinating.

Legacy of Onyx is perhaps the biggest surprise. There were such intresting little family dramas going on amounst the Sangheili, and the concept of pacifist sanghelli was deeply fascinating. I'll admit I wasnt fond of the children or our main character at first, but gosh darn it Matt you made me really care about them. Also Sasha Hilot is officially the coolest Sangheili ive seen yet that ISNT a warrior.

I did give Fall of Reach another read again for that sweet sweet John angst. Love watching him suffer and be horribly traumatised, just running around like this is fine I have a good grade in being a child soldier :) which is both normal to want and possible to achieve :)

Update: I've since got my own copy of broken circle :3

Ok has anyone noticed the parallels between the Forerunner AIs and Cortana? (I havent read Edge of Dawn yet so forgive me if this is all covered there)

Like, Mendicant Bias was created to fight the Forerunners greatest foe, was corrupted by the Gravemind, went rampant, and caused a lot of problems.

Then Offensive Bias was created, to be just like Mendicant, but to take it down.

Cortana was created to face humanity's greatest foe, was corrupted by the Gravemind, went rampant, and caused a lot of problems.

Then Joyeuse was created, to be just like Cortana, but to take her down.

Does this mean we'll be able to use Mendicant and Offensive's fates to predict that of Cortana and Joyeuse? Has Halo studios noticed this? Am I grasping at straws?
