Auraria by Tim Westover

1.0

I literally don't know what this story was about. The narration ambles and stumbles through strange legends and obscure "magic." James Holtzclaw buys the Auraria valley in Georgia by order for his shady employer Hiram Shadburn, with no knowledge of why. The story itself never really explains the reason for why Shadburn is so adamant about bringing the valley a resort hotel. The whole plot struggles to keep any kind of cohesiveness and engaging plot. I kept waiting for the story to come together, but it never did.
