[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Primo84 I finished reading it yesterday, so obvious spoilers below. Honestly, I prefer [i]Glasslands[/i]. [i]Thursday War[/i] wasn't bad, but it just didn't tickle my fancy like it's predecessor did. I was really geared up for everything Venezia, and the author didn't deliver at all on that. Forze and Raia's story arc was a damn chore to read; it was dragged out far too long and got stale rather quickly. I realized about half way through Phillips' time on Sangheilios that the entire book was going to be a long-winded setup for Halo 4. Introduce Infinity, Del Rio, Lasky, etc. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if the Covenant faction in Requiem in H4 is lead by our buddy Jul. (I'm calling it: you heard it here.) Granted, I should have seen it coming, but damn. [/quote]It is lead by Jul :)
