Synopsis

From Paige Crutcher, the author of The Orphan Witch and The Lost Witch, comes a new tale about a witch, a book of magic, and a beguiling and powerful creature whom she must free, even if it puts her life and soul at stake.

Aline Weir, a witch who can talk to ghosts, has kept her talents hidden ever since a disastrous middle school slumber party, choosing to be invisible and use her powers in secret to help lost souls reunite with the keys to send them home. All the while, she finds solace in a bookstore and the three mysterious women who run it… until Aline discovers the book of Mischief, and her powers are enhanced.

Living a solitary life until the age of thirty, Aline’s life takes an unexpected turn when the wrong (or perhaps right) person witnesses her using her powers and she is invited to a town that doesn’t exist on any map. Arriving in Matchstick, Aline learns of a lost magic that desperately needs to be found and only her unique powers can do it. But what she’s not told is that Magic is a person. One that is dangerous and seductive and has been waiting for a witch with a power like hers for centuries.

A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin's Press.

Right after finishing that very last page of What Became of Magic I knew reviewing this books won't be easy.

Goodreads review by Chris on May 27, 2023

Not for me. Most of this was riddles and wandering. 2.5 Starts rolled to 3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ It’s not often that I find a book I don’t care for, thankfully. But every once in a while, you do run across stories that you just cannot get into the plot. What Became of Magic by Crutcher is inventive and d......more

The story is centered around Aline Weir, a lonely girl who has more power than she realizes. Description: Aline Weir, a witch who can talk to ghosts, has kept her talents hidden......more
