As a fan of the Halo games I have really loved these books so far. They give you so much extra lore and worldbuilding to the halo universes.
I really enjoyed meeting other Spartans from the Spartan 2 program and getting to see how a team of Spartans operate. Even the small glimpses of personality and rolls each provides to the team.
I don't know if I wasn't a fan of the games if I would like this as much. As far as stories goes it was interesting but felt like I was playing the games and not really listening to the book. I think this would definitely land differently to only readers, but I did enjoy it and thought it was fun.
