Father’s disability and the inability of a simple and not so cunning mother gave the other family members an upper hand in colluding and snatching the wealth away. Unlike the previous ones, this book actually reads like a book instead of reading like an abridged video game. it is so nice to relive the story in this form, the game is visually gorgeous and the prose does justice to the world and environments.

In-game, this NEVER seems to be the case, as Mimir is honestly grateful for Kratos rescuing him from Odin and his torture, and helps the pair along in any way he can. But there's no lead-up, Atreus doesn't argue with Kratos before-hand, and the sentence sort of just hangs there in the air while you're left wondering why Kratos is offering this information out of thin air.God of War is a game about father and son made by a studio with a director thinking a lot about how his life has changed since becoming a father. Kratos doesn't doubt his son's abilities any longer and is more than happy to let Atreus fight along side him, without questioning him. Obviously a lot of the side stuff is left out completely, which is understandable as the world in the game is pretty massive for exploration sake, but because this is all left out, when Atreus mentions that Mimir had said something about the Valkyries, as a reader you HAVE to be confused. the book has an excellent plot with an unexpected ending and revelation, I’ve listened to this story in audible the narrator is superb perfect voice acting, I extremely recommend this if you are a God of war fan.

His part of the speech IS still in the book, but it's haphazardly slapped onto an exchange that has nothing to do with Faye, Atreus and Kratos, or any of their relationships, but it's just sort of packed onto there as if the author suddenly remembered this was important, had to happen in Alfheim, and so put it there. If you’re a God of War fan, and especially a fan of the latest game, you’ll hate this book, like I did. Kratos and Atreus first encountered Draugr after they had begun their journey to Midgard's mountain rather than during their hunt for deer at the beginning. This suitor is actually going to be the one who makes sure her dislodging from the family’s assets and money. He is tasked by the deities to kill the God of War, Ares, after he wreaks havoc upon the city of Athen in spite of his sister, Athena.

Atreus has never ventured further than besides the forest that surrounds his house and this is the first time that he sees what Midgard has to offer, which surprises him. During their journey Atreus and Kratos grow closer to another, especially after Kratos tells him about where he came from and the reason why Atreus is sick. Her father after having a terrible accident is reduced to a wheelchair and her greedy uncles have conspired to take all the family wealth away and hoarded it like the snake guarding the eggs of a poor bird. But it only gives a slightly better insight into the relationship between Kratos and Atreus and their thought processes.

There were games followed by more games at first headline grabbing then declining into convoluted iteration as the series grew older. To overcome every obstacle in the path you must transform into the god of war, or else, life would be all about cursing destiny.Sindri never mentioned the usage of the echoing screams of twenty frost trolls in the creation of the Leviathan Axe unlike in the game. Subsequently, if Barlog had taken that gaming action and written it in the same visceral way then the God of War book would have been very dark and it wouldn’t have been as accessible as it ultimately is.

The uncles and grandfather conspire and select an allegedly useless, wandering, and mentally ill husband for her.

The number of times he actually screams can probably be counted on the fingers of one hand, MAYBE two if you're lucky.
