You can still get it on Amazon. It's a little pricey but definitely worth it since you can't take pictures of the exhibit. It's not just images, it's got a lot of good text.

https://www.amazon.com/God-War-Official-Novelization-Barlog/dp/1789090148 here, for example. There's also the audiobook version narrated by Mimir

Yeah, we'll learn more about his past years i think, but if you havent heard that this might interest you:

My newest book is coming out soon, a gaslamp fantasy murder mystery. Until then, check out my old stuff! Bartram's Maw is a five book series. I like to call it optimistic dark fantasy. Start out with The Wolf and the She-Bear, found here:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08TTQ1MFS

*Mercenary Samantha Redwyne has seen too much blood spilled by her sword. She travels to the frigid north to get away from her ghosts, but doesn't find peace for long. The job: help deliver a wagon of wolf skins to a nearby village. The complication: a band of cutthroats on the hunt for a missing wagon with a priceless package hidden within.

Pursued by ruthless men who believe her a thief, Samantha finds herself double-crossed, wounded and alone in a deadly forest. Armed with just her wits in a fight for survival, she discovers that some bloody habits are hard to break.

But it's the longest night of the year, and man isn't the only thing chasing Samantha. The woods are lovely, dark and deep—the place folktales come from, where monsters dwell—and before the night is over, Samantha will have to confront not only death, but the unknown lurking just beyond the safety and sanity of the civilized world.*

"Morgan Stang's novella, The Wolf and the She-Bear, examines the consequence of choice and the internal struggle between before and now. Mixing a creative approach to fantastical lore with a low fantasy setting, Stang adds a dash of humor and a sprinkle of western sensibility into a tale of monsters, love, respect, and violence." - Angela Gualtieri, Grimdark Magazine

"Fast paced novella, with colorful characters and well written (especially the different styles of prose depending on the character). Things aren't what they seem at first, there's plenty of surprises and some mysteries are left unexplained (for other books I suppose)." - Sundeep Agarwal, Escapist Reviews

Yeah, and it was written by Cory’s father: https://www.amazon.com/God-War-Official-Novelization-Barlog/dp/1789090148/ref=mp_s_a_1_16?crid=33S441CMGVJZO&keywords=god+of+war&qid=1658940412&sprefix=god+%2Caps%2C180&sr=8-16

And as others said, the audiobook is voiced by Mimir’s voice actor.

The book is a great option. I'm a slow reader, and I breezed through it relatively quickly. Not the best work of writing, but it is thorough and is a good way to catch up on the story so far. https://www.amazon.com/God-War-Official-Novelization-Barlog/dp/1789090148/ref=sr\_1\_1?crid=1YQV2DGICRD01&keywords=god+of+war+book&qid=1657127060&sprefix=god+of+war+book%2Caps%2C69&sr=8-1

"Tolkien: Maker of Middle-Earth" is a book that, I believe, was created to accompany the exhibit that went around in London and NYC in the Before Times. I was lucky enough to see it in New York with his original artwork. Amazing stuff.

Hey peeps!

I'm a local author of fantasy and science fiction! My novel, Knightmare Arcanist, won the BRAG Award, the Apple Fantasy Away, and the Coffee Pot Book Club Award. I just wanted to share with everyone, lol

If you like reading, please consider checking it out: https://www.amazon.com/Knightmare-Arcanist-Frith-Chronicles-Book-ebook/dp/B07QMKVFJM

The Norse Myths by Kevin Crossley-Holland is a classic.

I just finished reading The Norse Myths by Kevin Crossley-Holland.

I haven’t read anything before this and I thought it was a great introduction! It has a comprehensive introduction and includes the translated myths. It’s easy and fun to read, academic, but not excruciatingly so.

Maybe this?

Tolkien: Maker of Middle-earth https://smile.amazon.com/dp/1851244859/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_1R72QDZ18B73HE87TY5Q?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

It was published to go along with the Tolkien collection exhibits at Bodleian and the Morgan Library.

The edition you've posted has been discontinued and has been replaced by this edition instead.

It's not really litrpg, but it's very similar to pokemon. Except the summons give there owners powers. Also not cute animals.

After all the hype before it even fully released -

Dragon Mage by ML Spencer - AZ

Fuck 2020 (work from home can stay though) and thanks

There are three GOW novels. There’s a novel for God of War (2005), God of War 2, and God of War (2018). I assume you want to read the novel for the latest game, God of War 2018. You can find in it on Amazon here.

I took a mythology class and one of our “textbooks” was The Norse Myths by Kevin Crossley Holland and I loved it so much I never got rid of it.

It’s basically just an English translation of the Norse myths starting with the creation and ending with ragnarok and everything in between. Highly recommend.

The prose edda is pretty good, penguin has a print of it you can get off of amazon for pretty cheap. https://www.amazon.com/Prose-Edda-Mythology-Penguin-Classics/dp/0140447555

https://www.amazon.com/God-War-Official-Novelization-Barlog/dp/1789090148/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1549654320&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&keywords=god+of+war+novel&dpPl=1&dpID=51pY8rnKypL&ref=plSrch

Here's the link for those interested.

Pre-order on Amazon.

Pre-order on Barnes and Noble.

Oh, yes I guess I can see that now that you mention it; the myths explaining why, not to be as much taken as a guide for life but more of an explanation.

As far as Vimur, the version of the myth I read specifically said it was menstrual blood, and also mentioned it again when Thor and Loki arrived at their destination that they were caked with blood from the river. But I'm sure there are different versions depending on the translator/author.

Regarding taking the myths literally, yes, that may be foreign to me. I am from America, specifically a VERY Christian region, so many of the stories I grew up on were parables told to teach us morals. Honestly though, I like digging into these myths more. I was reading them, looking for lessons in life rather than explanations of "why" or "how". I think it's something I could grasp once I get my mindset working that way.

I borrowed this from the library recently and it was pretty good. 8.5/10 would recommend:

https://www.amazon.com/Norse-Myths-Pantheon-Folklore-Library/dp/0394748468/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8

You can always check out /r/Norse and /r/asatru but if you really want to learn about the myths check out this book on amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/Norse-Myths-Pantheon-Folklore-Library/dp/0394748468/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1470097256&sr=8-1&keywords=the+norse+myths

It's only $10 and is one of the most recommended intro book to the myths on the internet.

if you really want to dive deep then check out the Poetic Edda, Prose Edda, and the Islandic Saggas on Amazon. Those are considered some of the source material for the religion "Asatru", which is a revival of the norse religion of sorts.

There is both. Durotan is the prequel, Warcraft Official Movie Novelization is released also. It came out around the same time as the graphic novel. They really front loaded the written lore for the movie universe, lol.
