What Became of Magic is a whimsical, witchy, and cozy read! It follows Aline Weir, a witch that can talk to ghosts, and her journey to a witchy and magical town called Matchstick where she must use her powers to find a lost magic.
Crutcher did a great job at writing such vivid details and imagery which made you feel immersed in the magical town of Matchstick. It was a very whimsical setting and storyline, perfect to get lost in. The characters were all very interesting, and the main character Aline is very loveable.
However, I did find it to be quite confusing at times and found it difficult to follow along with the plot. The story is filled with riddles which often didn’t make sense to me and made it difficult to follow along with the overall plot of the book. I also felt that the romance felt quite forced and all over the place.
Overall, it was a whimsical read, and the writing was quite enjoyable but beware if you aren’t a fan of riddles!!
