Hey now, the beginning and setup was decent.But then... man, did it ever taper off.I was extremely curious as to where the fuck Chakas and Riser had disappeared to, so I was glad to find out that Chakas was the POV character. After that, learning they were on a Halo alongside the Primordial was extremely tense and exciting.
No they weren't.
Wondering what happened to Riser is more likely a consequence of being stuck with Chakas for the rest of the book, who's tremendously unsympathetic and unlikeable for a protagonist. I'd have cheered at his fate if they hadn't used it to retrospectively cockup GS's character and retcon his death. Urgh. There was literally nothing about Primordium I liked.
