His life turns upside down and he finds himself under the patronage of a powerful and mysterious person who trains him vigorously and turns him into a fighter no one has seen before.

In my Lore and Legends review, I said the best part of the book were the parts that contained information not in the game, because everything else got a bit repetitive. The novelization has a similar problem, but different outcome. The best parts of the book are by and large the parts that contain information not in the game--Faye's pet hawk, more translations for what the World Serpent (whose name I cannot spell, sorry, big guy) says, better descriptions of the wall murals, finding out what Atreus was doing while Kratos was in the light of Alfheim, that kind of thing. Some of the "getting inside the head of the character" bits were also good (like the extra heartbreaking detail that Atreus latched onto Freya because he missed his mother...ouch...).

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. 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.

After Sindri remarked to Kratos that he would be displeased if he did something Laufey, Kratos would assume that the dwarf wants to take the Leviathan Axe by force, though Sindri insisted that he surrender it without a fight, causing Kratos to threaten him with the axe, which made Sindri cower in fear until Atreus reveals to him that Laufey left it to his father before her death, which caused a disapproving Kratos to glare at him.

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? But what chance does a mere mortal have against a god? Armed with the deadly chained Blades of Chaos, guided by the goddess Athena, and driven by his own insatiable thirst for vengeance, Kratos seeks the only relic powerful enough to slay Ares . . . a quest that will take him deep into the mysterious temple borne by the Titan Cronos!

An Old battered Kratos is in strange lands, ancient Norway in the realm of Midgard, his life has changed, now he lives in seclusion and entirely in charge of a small boy, his son, Atreus, after the death of his wife (the boy's mother). They embark on a journey to spread her ashes at the highest peak of the nine realms. 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 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. The Billionaire God of War novel is a fantasy. It is the story of a boy named Andrew. This heir of one of the country’s richest families finds himself wandering the streets of the city he dwells at the tinder age of fifteen. After the death of his mother from an illness, he is literally at the mercy of Mother Nature. 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. Kratos and Atreus never encountered Brenna Dauði as they hunt for boar, as the fire troll was omitted from the book all together.

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. 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. Let’s start with what this book is. An adaptation of the videogame God of War (2018), also known as God of War 4. It’s a reboot of a well-beloved franchise and it follows the journey of Kratos, a former Spartan soldier enslaved by Greek Gods, and his child son Atreus, in their pursuit of fulfilling Kratos’s wife and Atreus’s mother’s last wish: take her ashes to the highest peak of all realms. This story takes place not in a Greek world, but rather a Norse one. Kratos, as a former Greek god, is an intruder in the Norse mythology, and as always, he’s messing up with pantheons and such. The relationship between Kratos and Atreus started of problematic. Kratos wanted to show Atreus that he cared and that he could be a good father to him, one that he deserves, but he didn't know to. The God of War was scared. Kratos wants to make up for all of the time that he has lost with Atreus when he had been absent during his son's life.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. When the duo came across the statue of Thor, Kratos never revealed his knowledge of knowing Thor's status as the God of Thunder. 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.
