Our Take
As someone who has always been interested in the lore surrounding the Halo IP, but has never had the time to delve into the novels, this is looking pretty interesting. There are probably plenty of people in the same boat as me, but I have to wonder how many have one of the special editions of Halo 5 pre-ordered. Either way, this looks really promising and I'm looking forward to watching it all the way through.
