God of War - The Official Novelization

Product Information

Atreus, my precious sugar muffin, is determined to proof his father wrong and to show him that he's perfectly capable to come along and that he can fight alongside him. Now that he has lost his mother Atreus feels the strong need to develop a bond with his father since he barely knows the man who has been mostly absent during his life. He just wants to be accepted and appreciated. How do you find the work of fiction that is the novel? If your answer is that it is one of the best forms of literature, allow us to introduce you to the novel named Billionaire God of War. Immerse yourself in a story that will take you on a roller-coaster rider of alternating emotions.

It is a long and arduous trek to the highest mountain peak spanning various realms with plenty of obstacles along the way and many battles against a variety of foes (including Trolls, Hel-walkers, Draugr, Ogres, Elves, Wulver, a Dragon, demi-gods and a god) to overcome. With the passage of time Kratos had aged, he had traded in the Blades of Chaos for a single axe, the Leviathan axe, his anger whilst still there was now more measured, he was more reflective, thoughtful and as a character, he was far more complex than ever before.Sometimes it felt as though the author didn’t know the map of the game. The characters were in the Bridge of Yggdrasil, then crossed “a forest” and reached the horn to call for the World Serpent – all those who played the game know that both the World Tree and said horn are within meters away above Tyr’s vault. With. No. Forest. Whatsoever. It’s unprecedented since it’s obvious that the writer had access to the game and to in-depth information about the game, so… what? He has authored numerous novels across many genres. Windows to the Soul, his debut novel, won the Readers' Choice award for suspense at an Illinois 'Love Is Murder' Mystery Conference. The white-skinned warrior then sets off on a journey to find the fabled Pandora's Box, the only object with enough power to slay a God. Obviously, the book tells the same story as in the game. Kratos and Atreus journey forth from their home to scatter Faye’s (the wife of Kratos and the mother of Atreus) ashes from the highest mountaintop in all the realms. Okay, I loved the narrator, he was great after I got used to the Scottish accent. At first I couldn't understand half of what he read.

I have been a fan of God of war since it came out, played all the games in all the platforms, the story is amazing, and when i heard there was a novelization of the last game I did not hesitate in getting it. A giant snake, so huge it consumed the entire sky before them, rose up out of the water, then lowered its head, tilting it to one side to eye Kratos and the boy suspiciously. Unlike the previous ones, this book actually reads like a book instead of reading like an abridged video game. In my eyes, I felt this novelization brushed over some of the bigger moments of the game. Most of the action felt inconsequential and without much stakes or detail. But I guess that all comes with the territory when translating a video game.When Faye unexpectedly dies years later Kratos is suddenly left behind with his son, with who he shares a troubled bond. Before Faye died she had told Kratos that she wanted her ashes to be scattered from the highest peak in all of the realms. Kratos thinks that Atreus is inexperienced and young, and not ready to partake such a venture, but he has no other choice than to take him with him. Kratos needs to honor the wishes of his late wife. This is one of the most widely read novels online. If you think you need to give it a try then go to the synopsis section to learn more about the plot and the story behind this beautiful story.

This is my opinion on how the book stands on its own. It's set as a series of short parts where the father and son go on certain quests, finish them, and move onto another. While I understand the setting in the game, it doesn't flow as well in the book. It doesn't have a strong storyline to follow. But the God above the self-proclaimed gods has a batter plan for him. He is taken away by one of the powerful mysterious persons and transformed into someone indomitable. To overcome every obstacle in the path you must transform into the god of war, or else, life would be all about cursing destiny. What is the Billionaire God of War about?There is this part where Kratos has to travel into the light of Alfheim to collect the Bifröst while Atreus waits for him. In the game it appears that Atreus was only waiting there for a few hours at least, where in the book it was almost a day and Atreus fought of plenty of Dark Elves during his father's absence. When he had almost given up on life, a little girl ‘Emma’ finds him and offers him a sweet. She prays, as long as he ate this sweet candy, his life would get sweeter and sweeter with each passing moment. Kratos asks Atreus on how much he knows about Jörmungandr and the boy would tell his father that the World Serpent is so big he is able to warp himself around the world and bite his own tail. With this, the novel version of Jörmungandr is fully connected with his traditional mythology counterpart while the game version only spans Midgard's waters and the Lake of Nine, rather than the entire world itself.
