This is the final of the Magic trilogy, which once again employs a triptych of perspectives from Reason, Tom and Jay-Tee. The problem with the review, and the reason why it's taken me so long to post it (the post date is when I began drafting, but it's actually being posted May 9th) is that the plot depends greatly on incidents which occured in the second book. Revealing them now would spoil the previous books for any one of our (mythical) readers who haven't read Magic or Madness or Magic Lessons.
I can say that I was struck by the beauty of the mathematical imagery - throughout the series Reason has been fascinated by numbers and patterns, and in this installment, in particular, she sees all the magic users' magic in a mathematical form that was bewitchingly and powerfully described.
The series ends relatively neatly, and it was a fitting end to a unique and interesting series. - Alex
