Halo: Legacy of Onyx (22) Paperback – November 14, 2017

I really enjoyed it. I know there are people who complain: not enough blood, explosions, senseless violence, blah blah. If you want to play a video game, go on ahead and get your fix, or read another book.If you want to read something that reads from the perspective of teenagers in a universe that is still recovering from war with a lot of social issues involved such as racism etc...then you will enjoy it.I like this angle. I like reading about characters who are not already super powered and military. This view point is just as important as more common Halo views from super heroes like Master Chief or ODSTs. Citizens were having their own problems trying to coexist in a new world, where aliens and humans live side by side.There is also an adorable Unngoy in this book that you will love, well, at least I did.There is never one kind of character. This book involves school scenes, familial scenes, and quirkiness of a character that I enjoyed reading about a lot. If you don't like these kinds of stories and prefer random explosions and blood splatters, look elsewhere. There are some fight scenes, but it's not continuous boom boom.I didn't mind this fact.

When I first got this book it was mainly to just get a book report done. I didn’t really like reading very much but it what to happen. So when I got the book, I didn’t really want to read the book. The beginning of the book can also be a hit or miss.But as I count ones through the book, I started to find myself wanting to read more and more. And I started to like the main character and wanted to see where she would go next. But there is something I want to say, the book doesn’t have really any fights you might expect from a Halo book, but keep reading and you will find something that will give you a reason to wait. This book was one of the best I have read(it got me to read the entire book, and I don’t read) and it is worth a read.I tried to make this review to help you decide get it but I haven’t done many reviews so if there is problems sorry.

Let me first say that I have read all the Halo novels and graphic novels out to date; you could say that I am a little bit of Halo fanatic. After reading Legacy of Onyx, I was quite pleased. It is by no means the strongest, most riveting of the Halo novels out, but I truly appreciated the the post war species relations that this novel approaches. It encapsulates the struggles of humans, sangheili, and unggoy and how to coexist, let alone trust after years of heated war. Legacy of Onyx continues the story of Onyx, the shield world introduced in Ghosts of Onyx, and I truly enjoyed reading about some familiar faces again. As the cover indicated, the Forerunner Guardians are brought in and there are a lot of Halo 5 events tied into the novel, something that 343 is accomplishing wonderfully. One reviewer mentioned how it ruined the Kilo Five characters, just note that Kilo 5 characters are never brought up in this novel; not sure what that reviewer was talking about. Throughout the book, I kept noticing and recalling similar themes to that of Ender's Game, which is by no means a negative. Legacy of Onyx is a stellar book and I recommend picking it up!

Came I'm perfect condition no errors on pages

i bought this when i started back into reading Halo novels. i did read some of the reviews of other who had ordered it but i wasn't dissuaded by them. i actually found this story to be rather refreshing. taking place before and during Halo 5, it focuses on a young girl who survived something that few in the universe have. i found myself relating to molly in many ways and love the dynamics of her character and growth. she grows throughout the book and learns how to let go of hatred.i cant wait for the sequel. i really wanna know what happens to all of the characters on onyx

My son likes this series

Great condition, my son loves these books!

The plot is decent, but the story's heroine is far-fetched and not really a believable character.Having been in that 5-8 year-old age group, growing up in a "restricted" environment, the idea of having such a world view & the skill sets as this heroine possesses at age 7 does not make any sense.The story arcs apparently were developed first and the heroine merely inserted and "given" attributes along the way.Several HALO stories have a preoccupation with blond haired, green eyed (or blue eyed) adolescents who go from age zero to world-class killers by age 10.This story could've been better balanced and presented with some revisions to the original theme and story arcs.
