What Became of Magic by Paige Crutcher
2.0
What Became of Magic is a fantasy book about witches, magic, and a mystical place where everything comes together.
The book has an interesting new world that it introduces. From the magic system, to the magical creatures, everything was interesting to discover and read.
In addition, the start of the story was solid, with the main character being endearing and tragic at the same time.
However, the book started focusing and relaying on the destined, written-in-the-stars love. Surely, this is a me thing, as I don't enjoy that kind of love stories, especially since it felt like instant love, as they didn't really have any on-page previous moments together. Thus, the pace of the love story was all over the place, and being that into each other from the start didn't make sense to me. Also, the story focuses too much on the main couple's dynamics and their love to resolve almost anything.
Moreover, the progress of the story was not as enjoyable, with most of the characters talking in riddles, and the mystery solving resembling a video game rather than an epic story.
Nevertheless, the writing was enjoyable and had many whimsical moments.
