Halo: Point of Light Kindle Edition

4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars 552 ratings

Rion Forge and her salvager ship crew face a powerful enemy in this original novel in the New York Times–bestselling series set in the Halo universe!

August 2558. Rion Forge was once defined by her relentless quest for hope amidst the refuse and wreckage of a post-Covenant War galaxy—years spent searching for family as much as fortune. But that was before Rion and the crew of her salvager ship
Ace of Spades encountered a powerful yet tragic being who forever altered their lives. This remnant from eons past, when the Forerunners once thrived, brought with it a revelation of ancient machinations and a shocking, brutal history.

Unfortunately, the Ace crew also made dire enemies of the Office of Naval Intelligence in the process, with the constant threat of capture and incarceration a very real possibility. Now with tensions mounting and ONI forces closing in, Rion and her companions commit to this being’s very personal mission, unlocking untold secrets and even deadlier threats that have been hidden away for centuries from an unsuspecting universe. . . .

Honestly, the Rion Forge series has been one of the best parts of the Halo universe since Bungie stepped away. And this novel, in particular, *really* brings that home (spoilers to follow):

We get a *lot* of resolutions and answers that have been drifting around since the Forerunner Trilogy (for all his writing ability, a *lot* of the first two books in that series were... confusingly written). And we get an unexpected ending to Spark/Chakas' involvement in the series that's been lingering since the end of *that* trilogy.

Beyond that though, Rion Forge and her crew are just some of the most *alive* characters in any of the Halo books. They're not SPARTANs, they're not ODSTs (well, anymore, RIP Cade); they're teenagers from the slums, scavengers, scrappers, and they act like it. It's both a realistic and romantic portrayal of the "wild west in space", although a part of me still feels bad that the UNSC ends up having to play the role of the big bad empire... Not that they don't deserve it, but still.

And of course, we don't have Kelly Gay constantly having her characters moralizing someone they've never met (*cough*Traviss*cough), although I feel like they could be more angry or upset over the Librarian's literally *millennia*-long plots and plans forcing them into action.

So honestly, I can't recommend this series enough: Gay's ended up being one of the best writers and contributors to the Halo universe tonight, and I lover her work for it. I still miss Nylund, but most of the writers since the 343 era started have been seriously fantastic. Now, if only 343 would actually manage the same narrative quality and cohesiveness in their *games*...

Ever since Smoke and Shadow delivered the twist that this scavenger was a daughter of a particular beloved Halo Wars' character, I realized this author had something.

In this book, Rion finally finds some closure with her family at the beginning, while leaving something for the future. Her crew finally gets fleshed out and some time and chapters that they deserve. And the current Halo Developers, 343 Industries, character that they're named after finally comes back with a vengeance (that Armiger on the cover is certainly someone important). Is it Chakas? Not really. Is it 343 Guilty Spark? Sorta kinda. Is it someone new? Well, just read the book and find out!

I will be forever disappointed that neither Bungie nor 343i has found an author as good as Eric Nylund in telling a story while holding reverence over the lore, respecting the physics/science this was based upon, and making me want to turn the pages and anticipate the next story. Tobias S. Buckell was pretty good in The Cole Protocol in describing ship-to-ship warfare, think oceanfaring naval warfare, but 3Dimensional because ships can go not just left/right and clock- and counterclockwise, but up/down, diagonal, and it's a sphere-type battle and not a circle-type.

I won’t spoil this, but it was an amazing book to read. I personally love the Halo series, and this especially takes the cake. I recommend this to anyone who loves halo, and especially if they are into the lore.
Reviewed in the United States on December 23, 2021
If nothing else, "Halo: Point of Light" stands as just one more piece of proof that writer Kelly Gay, and Kelly Gay alone, should be allowed to write each and every Halo novel for the rest of time. Simultaneously funny, engaging, and rife with Halo lore, "Point of Light" is the type of tie-in novel that makes one grateful to be a Halo fan – it both rewards long-time lore-hounds by paying off plot threads that have literally been going for years now, while also ably setting up future stories in a way that feels organic and fresh. So yeah…long story short: 343, please – give Kelly Gay the keys to the “Halo” universe. She knows what she’s doing.

I love all of the Kelly Gay Halo books. The books seem to tie directly into the Haloverse better than others. The Rion Forge story is it's own tale, but also incorporates past and present elements of Haloe as well as characters from the main canon. Hope to see more from this author.

5.0 out of 5 stars I think this is a great book.

I think this a great book.
It is good if you want to learn more about the Halo universe.
It has a lot about the Forerunners in this book but I suspect that the things in this are the same as or similar to the stuff in the Forerunner trilogy.
It was entertaining and had a good story.
I suggest reading Halo: Renegades (I hope I spelled that right) first because this is a sequel to it.

I wonder if I actually am the first one to review this.
The Amazon review area for this book said that no one else had written a review.
