I used to LOVE the Halo books but under 343 they have just been all over the place.

Last Light was amazing.
IMO it's the last great Halo book.

Nylund is the undisputed GOAT.
Greg Bear comes in at #2
Troy Denning at #3

I wish Joe Staten had a crack at more Halo novels. His only full length book was Contact Harvest and he did the short story Shadow of Intent (both were great). I bet a Joe/Nylund back to back every other year release combo would have been great.

Karen Travis was awful. She ruined Nylund's work. I hope she never darkens Halo's doorstep again.
Tobias Buckell has grown on me. I like all of his work in hindsight though I might not have at time of release.

It's been mostly downhill since Nylund's last book Ghosts of Onyx.

Greg Bear's Forerunner trilogy is pretty amazing though.

I've heard Forerunner stuff was decent. Ghosts of Onyx is probably my favorite of the bunch.

There are a few misc gems scattered in there. Some of the short stories are great.

But most have been forgettable or bad. Brian Reed's influence on the story as a whole almost killed the franchise.
