'God of War' is a compelling story with an endlessly entertaining plot. There are twists, turns, and adventure in every chapter. It is about a man who wants audiences to see him as the hero that he thinks he should be. He has been teased by his peers for being called a "clown" and his own sister on many occasions has called him out for his lack of skills in battle. The protagonist finds himself at the center of an enormous conflict between two otherworldly societies fighting for ownership of Earth and it's power.
Thane and his brothers have been raised to protect humans from the evil Daeons and to destroy any who would threaten their way of life. They live year after year, fighting many battles, until one fateful day when their father finally dies, leaving Thane in charge - but he is reluctant and finds himself living the same battle again and again. He wants something new, something different. As a result, it is Zeus's daughter Athena who helps him realize how much he has changed. But instead of embracing what she says, Thane fights her every step of the way.
The audiobook version of God of War follows Kratos as he descends into the underworld to battle with Zeus and discover the truth about his past. Readers will be able to hear the eeriness and suspense in the game as they listen to it, which is a much better option than reading it themselves.
In this book we learn about the struggles of Kratos, a man who is on a quest to kill his own father. The story begins when Kratos is a young boy who is being raised by the king and queen of Athens. The king and queen explain how they were mortal enemies that were forced together to create an heir. This sets up the conflict for many years in which Kratos' father gets him to slaughter his entire family, including his mother. This leads to Kratos becoming one of the most feared warriors in all of Greece, but it also leads him into a downward spiral where he goes mad with power and kills more than he could ever imagine.
This audiobook is the perfect way to experience the story of Kratos and the Greek Gods. The narration makes the story come alive and will help you imagine every part of it.
