4.5⭐.... It indeed was Makareta (hint from the Age of Empyre Author notes)... What a nice Easter egg

It was alright. It's a good book, but not a great one, there's nothing bad about it, but nothing special. To be honest, it felt quite rushed. Royce and Hadrian are good characters that interested me, but there wasn't enough time spent on anyone else for them to feel real. The plot also felt too rushed with the resolution coming before I had time to get engaged. As a result, I didn't really care about the town or anyone in it. The supernatural element felt out of place and weakened the plot, either write a story with magic or one without, this felt like a world without magic with one exception, which seemed like a cop-out.
I came very close to giving this 4 stars because it had a lot of potential but in the end the plot was too half-hearted and cliched (I felt like I read most of it before).
