Becoming Crone
Becoming Crone | Lydia M. Hawke
3 posts | 1 read | 3 to read
She wanted purpose. She got dark magic and war. Claire Emerson is adrift. After a lifetime as a wife, mother, and grandma, she never saw divorce or loneliness coming and is desperate for some sense of purpose. But when her sixtieth birthday brings a snarky gargoyle, an annoyingly sexy wolf shifter, and an unknown magical calling, she thinks she's losing the only thing she has left: her sanity. Refusing to believe she's the powerful defender of humankind her so-called protectors claim, Claire attempts a return to her safe life... only to have her powers ignite when she's attacked by dark supernatural creatures. And without the training she was supposed to have received, she has no idea how she'll defeat sinister mages plotting her demise. Can Claire overcome creaky joints and major hot flashes in time to save the world - and her own life?

I didn‘t love this but it was fun! It was like a YA fantasy novel with an older protagonist—not to say that Claire isn‘t believable as a 60-year-old grandmother, but that it‘s light, a bit tropey, and made me roll my eyes more than once. I‘m looking forward to my book club‘s discussion and I‘m considering buying the sequel. I want to know more about the midwitches!

This was picked by one of my book club members. I was hesitant because it‘s not at the library and I don‘t like spending money on books if I‘m not sure I‘m going to like it, but this is a lot of fun so far! And it‘s definitely refreshing to have a heroine who‘s 60 instead of 16, much as I love YA fantasy.
