Clement: The Templar’s Treasure
(Clement, Book 3)
By Craig R. Hipkins

Clement & Dagena return for another action packed adventure. From the cold and dreary shores of Greenland to the fabled land of Vinland. The legendary treasure of the Knights Templar awaits.


✧ My Review 


Having not read the first two books in the series I was a little apprehensive about diving in at the deep end with book three. Initially, I did find it a little confusing as to who everyone else was, but it did not take me an overly long time to figure out which character was which. Once I had identified all the characters I sat back and allowed myself to be swept away by the story.


Although this book is aimed at a young adult audience, I found myself thoroughly enjoying every minute of it. So much happens in this novel and Clement, the main character, is swept along as the events unravel in front of his eyes. Along with his friends, Clement tackles his somewhat unpredictable future head-on. There were times when I felt sorry for him (he really wants to marry Dagena but instead he finds himself in training to become a Knight's Templar). There is also a tantalising quest that he has to complete and an old enemy that he has to face.


I really enjoyed the author's take on the era the book is set in, but I also enjoyed the celestial /fantasy element as well. I can see this series becoming a firm favourite with a young adult audience.
