Halo: Magicka

The concept is interesting but is slightly decrepit from the fact that other people can use magic, I thought the son of magnus ability was so he could use Magicka in the halo universe, but apparently everyone has a 'magic core' i guess. Other than that, the combat scenes and character interactions are also not as good as they could be. For example, on the covenant invasion, you give a pistol to a kid instead of your fully capable wife. Then the whole sniper part, him spotting the sniper was fine with his enhanced abilities but him pointing saying "there" and his dad instantly locking on like a turret is a bit iffy. To the part with the aliens crossing the water his dad one shots one after the energy shield was taken down, how? These are presumably fully armoured soldiers and the dads pistol just kills it, he got a pocket railgun or something? I could keep listing stuff like this but my point has been expressed. In general the it definitely has a followable story but should delve more into character interactions as you don't really feel anything when people die.

Overall, I found it a very enjoyable read with a concept that I wish would spread more. I've always wanted to read a Halo Web novel with a hero with magical or supernatural powers. However, I think the story is a bit too fast paced. Some details need improvement here and there, but it has a lot of potential to be a great story. I'm excited to read more. The story sounds interesting with an engaging concept that I hope will become more popular. I've always looked forward to reading a Halo Web novel with a superhero or magical powers. However, the pacing can be a bit rushed. It still needs some polishing, but it definitely has the potential to be an amazing story. I'm really looking forward to reading more.
