'''JackVibe''': I loved the chapter in which [[Tomas Horvath|Spartan Horvath]] finds [[Kate Stalling]]/JAEGER. Even though it was only one chapter, it was representative of what Kelly wanted to accomplish narratively in the novel–to depict small stories of sacrifices in the universe. Kate was left for dead and yet she recorded everything she knew of the network, in hopes that someone would find them and at least throw a wrench into the Banished’s plans. | '''JackVibe''': I loved the chapter in which [[Tomas Horvath|Spartan Horvath]] finds [[Kate Stalling]]/JAEGER.

It also didn’t shy away from the brutality of a war–something ''Halo'' hasn’t done much. Not that it was something I wanted to see, but it was decidedly different from''Halo''{{'}}s usual pristine depiction of what should be a genocidal campaign against the human protagonists. We’re so used to seeing things from a Spartan’s perspective, we’d never gotten a look into what a conflict with cruel [[Jiralhanae|space apes]] would look like. | It also didn’t shy away from the brutality of a war–something ''Halo'' hasn’t done much.

It’s also a wake-up call for Horvath and us, reminding us of what the Banished are capable of… or at least what [[Gorian]] is capable of, giving a little more characterisation to a character whose role is closest to what would be the main antagonist of the novel. | It’s also a wake-up call for Horvath and us, reminding us of what the Banished are capable of… or at least what [[Gorian]] is capable of, giving a little more characterisation to a character whose role is closest to what would be the main antagonist of the novel. | ||
