Reviews for Halo Battle Born

[Alette · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

It was captivating and interesting and suspenseful. Though the out line of the plot was more obvious then the first book, they still managed to suprise and throw a few odd balls. I rated this lower then the first out of personal preference, as I missed more personal interaction and bonding between the characters. In this one they treated that as established, which is fair with where this book begins. I did like the story and I would recommend reading them both.
The narrator was still wonderful to listen to.

It was pretty cool and ended with a surprise that has me lookin through books that took place after the events of Meridian. Loved it. Halo books go hard.

I quite liked this sequel to Battle Born. I felt like the writing quality had dropped a bit and was not as good as some of the other Halo tales (my personal favourites are the Kilo 5 stories).
I really like the narrator. Her close up, almost ASMR- esque voice is lovely and you can easily tell when she speaks as a character.
The story does feel open for aanother book to wrap up the character arcs :)
