For those who’ve played God of War 2018 and Ragnarok (especially the Valhalla DLC), I’m looking for a book with a similar character arc to Kratos.
Here’s the vibe I want:
A man with a merciless, bloody past — a true destroyer — who’s already put that side of himself under control.
At the start of the book, he is like kratos at the start of the 2018 game. he’s cold, stern, and distant, not fully “good,” but not a villain anymore.
Over time, he grows softer, kinder, and far more philosophically wise, learning what it means to be truly better.
Still has moments where his old, overwhelming power comes out in epic fashion.
Also, has those deep, thoughtful moments like the Kratos–Tyr scenes in Valhalla.
Any recommendations?
