God of War
J. M. Barlog · 2018
J. M. Barlog's retelling of the 2018 game. Kratos and his son Atreus leave their home in the forests of Midgard to carry Faye's ashes to the highest peak there is. A stranger has already come to their door looking for a fight, and he won't be the last thing to get in their way.
What this adds if you've played the games
It sticks very close to the game, scene by scene, so it's a retelling more than an expansion. What you get is a few more of Kratos's private thoughts and admissions than the game has room for. Reviewers called it steady and workmanlike rather than special. The author is the father of the game's director, Cory Barlog. If you'd rather listen, the audiobook is read by Alastair Duncan, who voices Mímir in the games.
