Great presentation of the path as a whole. Starting from when women were allowed into war roles, thru the title.
Good pacing, individual stories scattered along the chronology, no diverting into too much detail or on unrelated topics. I'm glad the author kept thing simple, following the chronology rather than bouncing back and forth across themes or topics or branches of military.
Very nicely done. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is that's reserved for books going into my personal library.

Gives some insight to how HAL9000 went insane.
Incredibly thought provoking on so many topics. And plenty of action!

Alot of military speak and alot of political intrigue, which I'm not a fan of. Thankfully, there's alot of action to keep one's interest. Also another opportunity to get familiar with the Halo universe and participants.

Nice little read for Halloween.
I hear some folks read this each year and if you do a chapter a day starting October 1st you finish on Halloween. I think that's a great idea and wish I knew other Halloween-related books I could enjoy reading for the season as Halloween is my favorite holiday.

Not one of my favorites in the series, plot wise. The book starts out with a mystery, veers away from it to focus on 1 man's inability to cope with rejection and failure, and only in the climax of the storyline does it come back to the mystery. And to make things worse, doesn't even explain the mystery. I hate when that happens. The logical side of me understands why it's not explained but my passionate side does have a right to object.
I was definitely happy to see Bobby, and Clarissa settling in to the family. And to continue to experience Avasarela's blunt talking.
I really appreciate that each chapter in each of the books, is titled with the person's point of view. It gives me time to remember where the storyline left off for this person and move along smoothly with the audio. I just read one hardback book where there wasn't even a visual announcement of the pov and/or scene change. Not even white space. The author was bouncing back and forth between the different storylines, sometimes with each paragraph, and I felt like I was often backtracking to figure out where I'd gotten lost and reread from the scene change to get back on track.
