I loved how the story quickly involved a detective and turned Halo for a brief moment into a crime mystery. Though I was let down by the introduction of Jiralhanae and Human aggressors to stir up some action, taking away from what I thought would focus mainly as a narrative primarily following detective Veta Lopis. All that kind of withered away when I grew more and more interested in the relationship Lopis had with Spartans Ash, Fred, Mark, and Olivia. That was an absolutely great cast. I also really appreciated the rather abundant introduction of the inner workings of a colonial government, something that had long been missing from this aspect of the Haloverse.

I'll leave the more significant spoilers up to anyone who would like the have a chat about them with us.

Anyhoo, it's definitely worth checking out. There's plenty of intrigue and mystique for everyone!
