What Became of Magic by Paige Crutcher

3.0

I listened to the audiobook for "What Became of Magic" and while I enjoyed the narration, it became clear that this story leaned more towards the Young Adult (YA) genre rather than adult fiction.

Starting with Aline helping lost spirits was intriguing, and then the transition to Matchstick's mystical world to rescue Magic, her destined lover, kept me interested in the story. Even though the romance aspect felt a bit forced. At times, the writing style left me feeling a bit lost, especially with the use of riddles and puns, but some people may enjoy that. 

The world-building was intricate, brimming with details, and you really understood the magic system in Matchstick. 

Overall, "What Became of Magic" offers an enchanting mix of elements, but the romance might not click with everyone. If you fancy a cozy fall read with a touch of YA fantasy, give it a try!

Thank you to Macmillan Audio and NetGalley for providing me an Audio ARC in exchange for an honest review.
