Read my #BookReview of Clement: The Green Ship (Clement, Book 2) by Craig R. Hipkins #YoungAdult #HistoricalFiction @CraigHipkins @maryanneyarde

 

 

 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I wanted to start this review by congratulating author, Craig R. Hipkins, for his fabulous young adult medieval adventure. This novel, aimed at a 12+ audience, is wonderfully written. Hipkins has created a believable world with a mixture of history and legends. I thought the characterisation of both the protagonists and the antagonist were fabulously portrayed, and there is enough menace in this novel to keep the pages turning, without terrifying the attended audience. At times this novel reminded me of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson series, but of course, this novel is set in the 12th Century and not the modern-day.

I had not read book one of this series, but it really was not necessary as it was very easy to catch up with the plot. I thought Clement was a really likeable protagonist that, despite many desperate situations, manages to survive and thrive as the story progresses. He is a very honourable character who faces many tempests, be that either the sea-monster kind or the more terrifying humankind, and not once does he stray from the honourable path. Even when assassins try to murder him, he gives them clemency. His relationship with Adam was also really well-drawn and demonstrated how lovely Clement was.

I thought this was a great book. It is certainly the kind of book that I can envisage a young adult reading again and again.
