Why read it?

1 author picked Theoretical Magic as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

T.M. Baumgartner is my favorite cozy fantasy writer and this new series starting with Theoretical Magic was another lovely addition to my library. Theoretical Magic was fast-paced urban fantasy with characters I really loved. The plot is solid, fraught with danger and kept me guessing. The character growth and world-building were excellent. It's twisty, fun and has those great touches of humor. Realistic relationships whether it's with co-workers, the boss, or even the potential love interest.
