#forerunner trilogy

Towards the end of Halo: Cryptum, I get the impression that Bornstellar just couldn’t go on recalling and retelling the events he experienced as he found it to be too damn painful.

Im not complaining, it makes sense.

Which may explain why his retelling of events as seen in the Bornstellar relation more or less stops with his arrival at the Greater Ark.

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

I thought it was only halo 3 terminals I completely forgot about this part of evolutions

Absolutely awesome seeing how far back the roots of this lore goes

Unpopular Halo Opinion

I don’t like the Forerunner Trilogy. Before you think I’m some mindless contrarian, hear me out. 

I feel that going so deep into the Forerunners, and the ancient history that they occupied, has over exposed and over explained somethings that were better left unsaid. 

The Japanese have a term called ‘Ma,’ which has been described as “an emptiness full of possibilities, like a promise yet to be fulfilled.” You can see it in many paintings where there are deliberately empty spaces that add a level of simplicity.

The mystery of the Forerunners was the deliberate empty space that made Halo more intriguing. By filling in what was never meant to be filled (or what shouldn’t be), you clutter and overwhelm the painting.

I love the Forerunner saga: Cryptum, Primordium, Silentium and Renegades
