Star Wars Hunters: Battle for the Arena

De: Mark Oshiro

Narrado por: Arina Li

An exciting book based on the game Star Wars: Hunters!

On the planet Vespaara lies the Arena—a series of battlefields where fighters known as Hunters face off in teams to compete in front of roaring crowds. Newest to their ranks is Rieve, a Force-sensitive orphan from Corellia with abilities she can barely control, and a past she desperately wants to leave behind.

But Rieve gets off to a rocky start, strugging with her lack of confidence both inside the Arena and with her fellow Hunters. And when a mysterious stranger begins stalking the Arena, Rieve fears her troubled past has finally caught up with her….

Average story

Writing is on par for the age range it’s written for, minus one part of the story, the villain’s motivations become unclear.

I’d read more cause I enjoyed the characters.

There was some technical issues with this book though where a couple chapters were out of order/repeated.

why does it say chapter 34 on chapter 41????

fun story especially looking at background for the game. but the book is mixed in places and I only figured that out at the end.. please fix this

Out of order?

There are definite problems with how it was assembled. One chapter repeats itself and another is totally out of order. Otherwise it’s a decent story.

Fun little adventure

While a very simple story, it's a lot of fun to follow the Hunters through their journey.

Good story

Chapters are out of order in parts. Kinda messed up the ending of the book.

A bit of a mixed bag.

The protagonist is both whiny and overwhelmed with self-doubt. Normally, I wouldn't have even finished the story. However, in this case, the character has just enough complexity to save the book.

Funny little none Saga tale.

All new everything! Very enjoyable tale, highly recommend for Star Wars fans like myself that are huge Pro Wrestling and/or Combat Fight fans. Enjoyable supporting characters back up an interesting lead. Easy to follow along details, with reveals filling in the gaps.

Better than expected but aimed at younger readers.

for some reason there were two chapter 29's and the last two chapters where switched

Pretty decent

I enjoyed the book, I’d recommend it if you like the game. There are a few problems, but all in all the characterization and writing are good. Main issues are that the prose are pretty distant at times, focusing too much and telling you how Rieve feels rather than showing you. As well as that, the emotional connections are kinda forced, with the characters saying they were a lot closer than they’d been shown to be by the end, so it does end up seeming pretty corny at times.

Star Wars meets WWE!

Wasn't expecting much from the tie-in book, but it was great!

No connections to anything else in the Star Wars universe.

Definitely check this one out.
