Clementine: Book One

I don't know, I was never going to be impartial while reading this. I adore the Telltale games and even named one of my cats after Clementine:



so obviously I'm going to be biased! I thought the fourth game wrapped up her story nicely but I was intrigued by this and it was just...okay? I thought the art was a little muddled at times and I couldn't get over the fact that 1) Clementine leaving AJ did not make sense to me and 2) the new love interest didn't strike me as much as either Louis or Violet, both of whom I loved...so again, this is on me!

I did really like Clementine adjusting to life with a prosthetic, which I feel is not explored in apocalyptic fiction enough, and her whole speech about realizing she was going to live and feeling panicked about it was good. Again, I think this is really just a case of my own biases getting in the way of me enjoying the story for what it is. Overall, 2.5 zombies out of 5, rounded down because now I guess I have to replay all the games and who has time for that? (It's me. I have time for that.)

Made me want to play the games all over again. Not sure if I like the direction in which the story is going. As some people mentioned in their reviews, who builds houses in the winter? I am curious to read Book Two though. Also, AMAZING artwork!
