In Army of Shimshon by Kevin C. Noel, the second installment in the Ambler Accounts, the stakes rise, the shadows deepen, and the path forward for Garrick grows more treacherous than ever. After the chaos of Book One, Garrick is left with a power he didn’t ask for, guilt he can't escape, and enemies who refuse to let him vanish quietly. Stripped of revenge as a motivator, he turns inward, and that introspection leads him straight into the storm. Garrick’s journey toward mastering his Incardian abilities brings him to Knox, a Magirev mentor whose teachings are as mysterious as they are dangerous. But growth never comes without cost, and Garrick is already paying dearly. The threat of the Order of Shimshon, a fanatical, disciplined force bent on eradicating his kind, is ever-present.
Army of Shimshon by Kevin C. Noel is a powerful, character-driven story about identity, legacy, and the price of power. We see Garrick, the protagonist, grappling with guilt, power, and self-worth in a world that gives him no space to breathe. The book is filled with high-stakes confrontations laced with magic, betrayal, and brutal choices. The world-building is detailed and creative, expanding on the lore without slowing the pace. As the story progresses, we see that Garrick’s journey isn't just about survival; it's about transformation. There is so much character development that happens, and you can’t help but cheer him on through all the chaos and challenges he faces. Army of Shimshon really surprised me with its in-depth lore, unique characters, and engrossing plot. I couldn’t stop reading once I started, and I look forward to more work from this author.
