Clash At Fatal Fields: An Unofficial Fortnite Novel

Trapped In Battle Royale #1

by Devin Hunter

Twelve-year-old Grey gets sucked into a hacked, virtual reality version of Fortnite Battle Royale along with one hundred other players. To get home, he must become one of the top five players before the season ends, or he’s stuck in Fortnite for another two months.

Grey logs into Battle Royale as usual, but unlike before he passes out and wakes up in the lobby and everything is as real as can be. Four others stand there with him as an admin tells them they are the “new meat” and their game has been hacked. Their consciousness will be trapped in this version of Fortnite until they can become the top five players for a season.

New to the fighting arena but ambitious, Grey sets out for glory with one hundred other players on a flying bus. As they jump and land on the island to battle, he struggles to figure out the tools as people come to kill him. He dies quickly, much to his disappointment. Maybe this won’t be as easy as he thought.

While waiting for the next game in the lobby, someone gives him some tips to help him out and he fares a bit better. They form a duo in hopes of both escaping the game together. Will Grey be able to escape, now that he has an ally?

Ok... so a student asked me if I had any Fortnite books in my library, which I didn't. So, I searched and found Clash at Fatal Fields. To be honest, I wasn't expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised to find that as I started reading, I didn't put it down until I finished. I really enjoyed it! I have watched my two sons play a ton of Fortnite so I was at least familiar with the game. I know already once I put this out for circulation, this will never sit on the shelf. This will be a multiple copy purchase for my elementary library and I plan to buy the sequels as well. The book is short enough to not be overwhelming for reluctant readers. Not sure if non-Fortnite players would enjoy it... but honestly, when was the last time you met a kid who didn't play the game? This one is sure to be a big hit!

** Sinopsis **
Grey es un chico común que empieza a jugar en Fortnite por primera vez. Una nueva actualización de la que nadie conocía, lo llevará a un mundo virtual donde estará atrapado hasta lograr ser el número uno de toda la temporada, para lo cual deberá vencer a los otros escuadrones y encontrar a su propio equipo para poder salir del juego.

** Lo bueno **
Es corto y entretenido. Fácil de leer y con informo bastante fluido. Tiene algunas secuencias de acción que te mantiene con el libro pegado a los ojos. Mejora mientras avanza, la mejores escenas las encuentras al final de esta entrega. De alguna manera explica bien el funcionamiento del juego, aún cuando nunca lo hayas probado antes.

** Lo malo **
Es bastante plano en cuestión trama, historia y evolución. Los personajes se mantienen igual y son poco profundos. Son muy pocos los cambios que podemos observar y la mayoría de ellos son poco creíbles o demasiado rápidos, no llevan un proceso adecuado.
Todo lo que sucede en la historia es simplemente aceptado por todos de manera simple incluso por el protagonista y pienso que nadie en esa situación estaría tan tranquilo.
Los personajes son prácticamente niños, pero la forma en la que se comportan es más bien de un joven adulto, la menos a mí parecer.
El libro puso bien ser una sola entrega y no dividirlo en varios tomos, pues el final no concluye en nada, sino más bien sirve como una introducción a toda una aventura, que este libro no tuvo.

** Conclusión **
Definitivamente no es excelente, le falta mucho. La trama nunca se desarrolla y los personajes no evolucionan. Si bien el libro es entretenido me dejó en un limbo sin poder decir si es bueno o malo. Es una historia ya vista antes, Sword Art Online ya lo mostró incluso Netflix tiene una serie animada con la misma temática, es decir el libro no entrega nada nuevo y en su historia no hay nada original, nada que sorprenda realmente.
Las últimas escenas son divertidas y llenas de acción, el libro mejora al final pero no llega a ningún lado y deja colgado todo para que busques la siguiente entrega, que me deja intrigado pero que no se si la quiera continuar.
En fin, funcionó para lo que busca en este momento, una lectura ligera.
3 ⭐⭐⭐

I like how it gives you some information about Fortnite, especially since I have never played it my self. the people in the book represent real life, how thee is going to be some really annoying people and there are ones you would want on your team. I also loved this book because the plot is somewhat about unlocking your potential. I really hope there is more! (GAMING PEOPLE, THIS ONE IS FOR YOU!)

I thought this book would be a lot like the game fortnite, but it went in a kind of different direction. But I still loved the relationship and the team work in it and I still recommend it for someone who wants a fortnite chapter book

This is a cute book set in the Fortnite game… meaning the game sucked in and someone is keeping their consciousness alive but their bodies are in a coma… for a while. They have to try and win to get out… but it’s a social experiment too.

Review by Jackson, age 8: Short but really good. 4 1/2 stars. Jackson’s summary: It was about people getting stuck in a video game and not having to eat.

Basically a tamer version of Sword Art Online/Dungeon Reset (cause no permadeath). Worth book talking to gamer kids, who will likely enjoy the references to the Fortnite sites and gameplay~

This book was very exciting and interesting. I liked the score board and that it was squads. This book is fun and for any Fortnite lover.
