The whole "boy" thing feels forced here. Like the kid's a replacement. Especially with that "he's my dad" quick excuse. Makes me physically recoil. Also, kratos sometimes has this feeling of overperforming and sometimes underperforming. By that I mean he sometimes talks completely polite like a normal person and at others screams at things he shouldn't (as kratos). While he did use to bang quite a bit, I'm fairly sure he didn't think about it like "wow, fat melons, nice booty (or something similar)" the way he does in this novel. There're really a lot of decisions the author made that make me feel like he picked the worst possible path.
