Greg is so lucky I don't really care all that much about execution. I'll admit, some bits of the Forerunner Saga have been told really boringly, and it's been somewhat hard to read through it all. That said, it's a goldmine of brilliantly-crafted information. It's just not engaging - you've got to engage it. Once you do, you'll realize it's probably the best fiction Halo has. Excited for Silentium.
