Just like the diary that Atreus keeps in the game but printed, if you’re a GOW fan don’t think twice.

If you’re a fan of books written in an in-universe perspective (such as by one of the characters) then you can’t go wrong with this book for the God of War games (specifically for the Norse ones).
The book is written from the perspective of Atreus, Kratos’s son. The book is a great way to see how many of the Norse myths have been reworked to fit the God of War versions as well as to learn details that one may have missed. Plus it has a lot of Mimir’s stories and perspectives included.

First don’t read this until you beat the game because it has tons of spoilers. That aside this is a great book. The pages are made to resemble parchment.
The only book like this that I can think of that’s better is the one from halo 3. Halsey’s journal. I kinda wish they made it more like that..smaller in size but with more pages. Then it would seem like his real journal.

Must buy for all god of war fans as it includes the story of the main characters a year after the game (GOW 2018) by Atreus himself and is filled with lore

This book is incredible and the quality of it will have you in awe. Every fan of GOD OF WAR should have this. I love how the book talks about atreus mother (Kratos Wife) more. I mean in the game you start off and she’s already dead and yes you find out that she was reallly a giant at the end but you don’t really know how much she really meant to atreus. Even before him and kratos started bonding. He knew his father loved her just by how he looked at her. He even thought his father was disappointed in him or even worse he thought he didn’t like him at all. I won’t spoil it but like I said every fan of the game should have this. 5 stars!

Loved all the extra info and perspectives and thoughts from Atreus that weren’t shown in the game. Entire memories and conversations that we’ve never seen.

I finally copped this ! Dude the cover feels great ! The book is Huge too!!! I probably should’ve read the info but i thought it would be tiny size like atreus’ journal. Every page feels so thick and the details omg ! I wont spoil too much but they did a great job… the story is of course.. also top notch obviously !

Un excellent livre (en anglais pour cette édition) “écrit” par la main d’Atreus, le fils de Kratos, tel un journal de vie, reprenant les informations de l’aventure du jeu ainsi que des informations complémentaires.
Illustré par des dessins de préproduction ainsi que des captures stylisées du jeu.
Une fois le bandeau retiré, le livre ressemble quasiment à un journal avec une couverture souple et en relief, seulement l’écusson Dark Horse sur la tranche rappelle ses origines.
