⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
It’s an interesting story and I loved the idea of it, but it was a bit oversimplified. There are areas of the book that seem like they need more substance, which may also be on purpose. I appreciate the balance between fear/vulnerability and strong womanhood. The characters are all different and hold careers. There are some parts that make them seem younger- like teenagers rather than adults. I would read the next book as the storyline is strong and I still want to see what happens!
Overall: ⭐️⭐️⭐️.5

Having read other books in the supernatural and witch-themed genres, I can say 'Becoming' offers a refreshing take by focusing on a group of witchy women balancing strength and vulnerability. The characters' careers add realism, making them relatable beyond typical fantasy tropes. While some moments felt youthful, this could reflect the characters' growth arcs and add depth over time. In many witch-themed series, the blend of personal struggles and supernatural elements is key to engagement. 'Becoming' sets a foundation for exploring complex themes like power dynamics and identity within a mystical framework. For readers who enjoy character-driven stories with a hint of magic, this book is worth starting. One aspect to watch for in future installments is the pacing and plot development. Enhancing the story with richer world-building and more layered conflicts could elevate the series. Nonetheless, the balance between fear and empowerment gives it a unique voice among current witchy tales. Overall, 'Becoming' is promising and invites readers to follow the characters’ journeys. If you are curious about modern interpretations of strong witch heroines and evolving storylines, this book might capture your interest and make you eager for the next release.
