God of War - The Official Novelization

Product Information

Some of the Stranger's dialogue upon meeting Kratos has been slightly changed, with an example being Yet you hide out like a frightened rabbit in these woods...you pathetic coward., with the original being " And yet you hide out here in the woods-like a coward.".

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. The Witch's dialogue is slightly different when she revealed to Kratos that she knows him as well as warn him of the intolerance of the Norse Gods who ruled the nine realms. Set in ancient Greece and full of the gods and monsters of Greek mythology God of War was a fantastic series and called to me. The setting, the creatures, the epic boss fights, Kratos, the main character, angry with a fiery rage, hell-bent on vengeance against the God’s, the sweet weaponry that he wielded, I mean, c’mon the Blades of Chaos are amazing! and, I’m not gonna lie, the gratuitous violence and copious bloodshed appealed to. As Atreus tries to focus on shooting down the deer and not let his emotions cloud his mind, Kratos will become impatient and urges Atreus by saying "Take the shot, boy. Now!" Well, after finishing the book I have to admit that Barlog has done a damn fine job with the God of War novelization and he brings the game to life in the form of a tremendous book. I loved it and in my opinion, if you are a fan of the game then you’ll be a fan of the book.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. I watched the entire God of War gameplay on Youtube (twice, but who's counting), so I knew the story going into this novelization. I was excited in reading the book because I'd previously read the first and second, and generally liked them, and because I was so fond of the storyline of the 2018 game, I figured the book had to be good, right? I don’t understand the five stars I see. If you’re a God of War fan, and especially a fan of the latest game, you’ll hate this book, like I did. If you’re a reader and not a GoW fan, you’ll see this book falls flat on many areas. Characterizing Kratos as being uncaring about Freya and Baldur's conflict and only intervening because Atreus cares about her feels sharply contrasted to the fact that he actually seemed really chill with Freya in the game after she saved Atreus and very much read as invested in the conflict SPECIFICALLY because it mirrored his own past. The little man slid from his hiding place, stopping beside Atreus. "Ya see what my touch brung!" Brok boasted with a broad smile.

This title the Billionaire God of War novel tells us something like that. As the saying of a famous rich person goes if you are born poor it is not your fault, but if you die poor, it is certainly your fault. The core idea is the efforts that we garner and concentrate on our goals. Achievement is a milestone in the path of unabated struggle. Then, with the latest release, the setting changed. Kratos had quenched his thirst for vengeance and ancient Greece was no more. Instead, the series moved on, forward in time to a new Norse setting and something strange happened to Kratos. He was always a great character but he was also rather one-dimensional and then with this instalment of God of War he changed. This also goes with Kratos when he first encounters, as his warnings were changed. Example are " You do not wish this fight, whoever you are," and " Leave my home now,".Dauði Kaupmaðr, in the novel, is shown to have additional dialogue than in the game, with his first word being "Kjöt", which Atreus thinks he meant "meat". Unlike in the book, the Death Merchant's first dialogue in the game is "þú tilherya ekki hér!" ("You don't belong here!" in Icelandic). When Atreus deciphered the message on the half-submerged statue of Týr, he questioned if its from the gods or if they want him and his father to be unarmed in the lake. Laufey is revealed to have a pet gyrfalcon called Jöphie, who is believed by Atreus to have left. When the latter tried to make her to come to him, Jöphie ignores him as she only goes to Laufey and not anyone else. A few days prior to experiencing this stranger’s kindness, he finds himself impressed by a little girl, who treats him with candy, the only sweet thing in his bitter worthless life.
