Offering deeper insights into the critically acclaimed God of Warยฎ franchise, this novel returns us to the dark world of ancient Greek mythology explored in the heart-pounding action of God of War I, the bestselling video game. A brutal warrior, Kratos is a slave to the gods of Olympus. Plagued by the nightmares of his past and yearning for freedom, the Ghost of Sparta would do anything to be free of his debt to the gods. He is on the verge of losing all hope when the gods give him one last task to end his servitude. He must destroy Ares, the god of war. 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! From the black depths of Hades to the war-torn city of Athens to the lost desert beyond, God of War sheds a brutal new light on the bestselling video game and on the legend of Kratos.

An Impossible Task Done Well
After coming to the franchise late, I went back and played through all the games that came before the latest, absolutely revelling in the blood and tragedy of Kratos' saga, and began to seek out any and all the surrounding media, beginning with this book. This is everything I expected, but written in a hand better than I presumed for the novelisation of a video game. Though not in the league of lauded fantasy writing, the tale is told well, handling the story more than capably, including the ordeal of pacing and parsing the many battles and puzzles in the game. The most enjoyable aspect about this book are the scenes on Olympus of Athena and Zeus, which give much greater insight to the former and an amusing look at the Skyfather who we become far better acquainted with as the franchise progresses. The narrative of the game and aspects that are most pressing and amusing are woven into a tale that is both familiar enough to not enrage intense fans, while taking enough liberty and interpretation that the story has some freshness, as well as pacing the events more appropriately for reading, apposed to playing. However, the Temple of Pandora is somewhat laborious, although this is somewhat to be expected, and at least the swirling blades in the Underworld don't reflect my hours of furious repetition and enraged frustration. If I were to ask more it would be to have had the action a little more visceral and immediate in its realisation and some greater insight into the inner-workings of the mid of the Ghost of Sparta, though I do understand Kratos is more of a singularly driven being not prone to philosophy and introspection. A solid effort and I look forward to the second book, saddened that there isn't a book of the third game of the side adventures.
