What Became of Magic by Paige Crutcher
3.0
Thank you Macmillan audio and NetGalley for an arc of What Became of Magic in exchange of my honest opinion.
This book started with a good premise but as the story develops it just exame so convoluted that it was hard to follow at the end.
First we start with our FMC as a kid/teen learning that she can see ghosts and at some point can also control nature elements when she gets angry to the point secasses an accident. This last event led her to seek the help of these 3 sisters that lived in her town. Then we have a huge jump in time and our FMC is an adult taking care of the store of the 3 sisters that sort of disappeared for a few days. She then try to find where they are and end up in this mysterious town. Out of the blue she discovered that there is a huge threat to all the magic world (which btw, I don’t know she was aware of that even as an adult) and she is the only one that can restore magic and save the magic beings.
It felt that there was not a smooth connection between times and all these revelations appeared without a proper introduction.
There is a romance in this book that actually got me invested and their chemistry saved the book for me.
Overall I thought the plot was truncated and convoluted, which left you trying to figure out for a long time what was going on
