On my quest to read all of Priest's works, I finally got my hands on ''Clementine'' - although as an audiobook.
I've wanted to read this book like forever!

Unfortunately, it didn't blow me away.
Not on its own because of the story, but for multiple reasons.
It was OK, don't get me wrong, but it wasn't what I hoped for.

Why I didn't like it.
This is an installment in one of my long time favorite series, but it's been a while since I read the main books in this series, and so I felt a few of the points made in his story were lost on me. On the other side, if I ever do a reread/relisten of this series, I think I will like this story more.

Also, I had some trouble with the narrators.
Yes, there were more of them, and usually, in a book with two POVs, of different sexes, I like it when there are two narrators - one male and one female. But something with the narrators of this story didn't really work for me. I can't really put my finger on what it was, seeing as they did as good as all the things I like with a good narrator.
OBS: On after thought, I think my problem was that one of the narrators mumbled a little at times, and so words were lost on me.

But looking away from these two (major) points, what did I think?
I found the story enjoyable, action packed and usually what I like in a story, although a little lacking in character growth.
