Synopsis

God of War: The Official Novelization (2018) MP3 Audiobook.

His vengeance against the Gods of Olympus years behind him, Kratos now lives as a man in the realm of Norse gods and monsters. It is in this harsh, unforgiving world that he must fight to survive... and teach his son to do the same. This startling reimagining of God of War deconstructs the core elements that defined the series-- satisfying combat; breathtaking scale; and a powerful narrative--and fuses them anew.

Goodreads review by Marta on February 10, 2019

I started reading this book in the hopes that it will provide a more nuanced and detailed telling of the game's story, maybe expand it a little. After a few chapters, I realized that wasn't the case.
