4.0
**ARC provided in exchange for an honest review**
Amy Harmon, without a doubt, is one of the finest authors out there, and one of my personal favorites. I say this in every review I write for her, but I genuinely feel that way. Her writing is so captivating that I would read anything she writes. I am thrilled that she has chosen to delve into historical fiction, and her latest book, A Girl Called Samson, is a testament to her incredible storytelling ability. Harmon masterfully brings the characters and their stories to life, immersing the reader in the world she has created.
“I loved them in different amounts. Small piles and great piles. I do not love you the same way. This feeling is new. It is a mountain, and it has fallen on me. I didn’t know it would feel this way to love.”
Although A Girl Called Samson took a bit of time to gain momentum, once it did, I was hooked. The character Deborah Samson is an awe-inspiring figure of strength, determination, and resilience, and Harmon does an excellent job of telling her story. I found myself rooting for Deborah until the very end. The book has all the elements of a great story- poignant moments, light-hearted scenes, heart-pumping moments of tension, and just the right amount of romance. Harmon's ability to transport readers into the world she has created is remarkable, and I found myself fully invested in Deborah's journey.
Overall, A Girl Called Samson is a triumph of historical fiction, and I cannot recommend it enough. Harmon's talent as a writer is undeniable, and I am eagerly anticipating her next book.
