They had to camp out in a hall for six days, and when they came out, everything was frozen and covered in snow. It can be hard reading all of this while playing the game, what with all the monster smashing, so it's nice to sit down and read this as it's own thing.

Most of the paragraphs could have been written from any POV and been the same, and this feels a bit of a waste. In the preface "Atreus" mentions that he's gone back over his original notes and added to them, cross referencing places, events and characters to give the reader a broader idea of what occurs in the game and why.I don't think it's concept art of the game, and it's definitely not art directly from the game either so I was left a bit torn. Through his mother's stories, Atreus fantasised about one day meeting all the animals and people in myth- except for the gods. Alternatively, Atreus also wondered why his mother decided to name him Loki, as it wasn't a typical Jotun name. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different character, creature, or event from the games.

He also thought about his father and mother's different approaches when it came to meeting others- his father told him to close his heart to enemies, and his mother told him to keep an open heart. The hit game is brought to life in a tangible and exciting new way as readers are invited to plumb the lore of God of War through the eyes of Kratos’s son, Atreus. Once I got into the sections that cover lore and enemies that are covered in the game, my interest waned considerably. On one occasion, when he was practising with his bow, he got distracted by the thoughts of a rabbit far away. It's cool seeing it written from Atreus's point of view but unless I've got the book open while playing the game, it was pretty dry.Then he explained that Freya came to visit him after they'd gone to Jotunheim, asking questions about Odin and the Valkyrie Wings that indicated she was going to reclaim her warrior spirit.
