Description

Thalia Kostis will be the first to tell you it's not magic, it's theoretical math when she walks a Möbius strip through walls to her office at the Institute for Applied Topology. CIA Case Officer Bradislav Lensky doesn't care what it is, as long as she can help track down a smuggling ring and the terrorists in their safe house in Austin. The other magicians nearby don't agree, and don't care for new rivals either! Now Thalia and the rest of her misfit crew are in a race against time, terrorists, common sense, grackles, and their graduate advisor to save the day!

A very interesting book - there were a lot of annoying parts, mostly having to do with standard relationship tropes, but there's also an excellent, very unusual magic system (applied topology?!). Also one ancient mage and one current mage, who's thoroughly nasty - interesting contrasts with the

math magic. And a few idiots of various stripes - the one who got the ring then disappeared from the story, not sure if those things are related. And so on. There's a lot of things beginning here - I definitely want to read the next one!
