Oct 08, Max Owsley rated it really liked it. I enjoyed most of the stories fairly well. Some I felt dragged on a little or I just had little interest in dirt and pariah. I really enjoyed the plot and characters of many of the stories stomping on the heels of a fuss, midnight in the heart of the Midlothian, and Dirt. The writing while mostly Halo: Evolutions: v. 1 can feel contrived such as the end of Stomping on the Heels of a Fuss and some of the lines from Head Hunters. Though they are few and far between. My favorite story in this is Midnight in the I enjoyed most of the stories fairly well. My least favorite but not disliked being Pariah. I enjoyed Soren's backstory but when we get past his removal from the spartan program it began to drag on a little and lost my interest. Jan 23, Andrew Smith rated it it was amazing Shelves: haloi-own. Very well done. They were short, but great, with the one about Cole being excellent. Mar 26, Matt Pfarr rated it liked it Shelves: sci-fi. A fairly decent of short stories in the Halo universe. If you love the lore like me than you will likely enjoy them. They are not quite groundbreaking though in terms of literature. Jan 07, Matthew Ciarvella rated it liked it Shelves: You might notice I have both this book and "Halo: Evolutions: the Essential Tales" on my "have- read" shelf. Which suggests that they're different books. Why would I read the same book Halo: Evolutions: v. 1 On the other hand, they have the same cover and they seem very similar. So here's the thing. They are different books. They do contain a few different stories. But only a few. Halo: Evolutions: v. 1 of the stories were shared between the two books, but their contents weren't identical. And that ended up being a pretty frustrating experience, trying to go through and figure out "ok, read that one, didn't read this one," "did I read this one and just not care for it, or did I not read it? I can't separate one from the other in my head now. What we have here are a Halo: Evolutions: v. 1 of short stories and, erm, poems, that are set in the Halo universe. It's video-game tie-in fiction, but the Halo universe has always been a grand one, definitely one of my favorites far moreso than the comparatively claustrophobic universe of Gears of War. It's always been a shame in my opinion that the grand, epic narrative that underpins this whole universe is portrayed almost solely through Halo: Evolutions: v. 1 books, while the games themselves focus entirely on the shoot-shoots. Although Halo 4 and Halo: Evolutions: v. 1 have gotten better in the narrative department, so perhaps there's hope. I mentioned the poems earlier with a bit of hesitation, could you tell? That's because they're. There's always a little mental game you play with yourself when reading this kind of book, where you have to turn off the part of your brain that tells you "you're reading about video game characters, this is basically a book about your toys. But the poems. So what about the rest of the stories? Well, as with most collections of short stories by different authors, there were a few I loved, a few that were okay, and several that were forgettable. The style of the story told through a collection of articles, transcripts, interviews, and short bits was Halo: Evolutions: v. 1 compelling and it shows that when Halo fiction puts its mind to it, it can be really good. The story about the sole survivor marine and the AI on the captured cruiser sorry, I returned the book to the library already, so I can't look up the title was also a really good one. I love, love, LOVED the ending to that one; it so perfectly turned an inexplicable sci-fi trope into a great inversion. You'll know what I'm talking about when you see it. I don't want to spoil it for you. So what's my verdict? Well, my personal rule of thumb is that tie-in fiction for any franchise needs to be able to stand on its own two feet; you can't just say 'well, it's amazing, but only for fans of the game. Unfortunately, I don't think these stories will have that effect. If you're deeply involved in the lore of Halo, give these a read and enjoy layering on world-building and narrative to your next playthrough of the Halo: Evolutions: v. 1. Otherwise, move along. Sep 20, Lincoln rated it it was amazing. This plot had many stories, some were interesting and others where boring. The short story I mostly enjoyed was Halo: Evolutions: v. 1 a boy who killed his father for not helping his mother survive when she was sick then later Halo: Evolutions: v. 1 a Spartan in the military. He then grows up in the wild on his own and eve This plot had many stories, some were interesting and others where boring. He then grows up in the wild on his own and eventually walks across a secret outpost for the halo military and becomes a recruit. The only main characters are Soren, a kid who grows up on his own and is later recruited into the military. Secondly, Doctor Hasely, who helps Soren in the transition of being on his own, into becoming a Spartan. Soren had many adventures when he was on his own in the woods. For instance, he would constantly try and stab little furry animals for food. I liked Soren the best because he is very brave and not afraid to take on a challenge. I could relate to Soren because when I was little I was always trying to go into the woods and find new hide outs or examine different insects with my friends. That is similar to Soren because he was constantly searching the woods for food and shelter. Personally I thought the story was good because Halo: Evolutions: v. 1 was easy to read and had multiple events that interested me and pulled me into the story. My favorite part of the book was when Soren tried to catch food and make a shelter because Halo: Evolutions: v. 1 showed me how difficult it really is and how much patience it takes. The author got the points across easily and made it interesting along the way, he could have put in a little more detail on the survival side of the story, like explaining the setting of the woods or the tools he had. [] The pseudo-evolution of halo mass I cannot believe this. I finally get the book, sit down and start reading. This story seems familiar. Yep, this is the same god damn mother fucking book. Infact this book is missing a few of the stories from the first Evolutions. How the fuck can they call this volume So beware, if you have read Evolutions, do not buy volume 2 as its a lie, and is infact the same book. If you have read neither, buy the first one as it has more stories and the ones they took out for 2 are the best ones buy Eric Nylund. Actually a lot of the fiction is very well Halo: Evolutions: v. 1 and very interesting. I think if your even mildly interest you should read the books by Eric Nylund, a he is a very good writer. I am just super pissed becuase to any normal human being these look like 2 seperate books, yet contain the same content.
