"A rewarding fantasy about a family's curse with strong characters." - Kirkus Reviews

"The Conjurer's Curse is never dull and transports the reader to Rowan's world through vivid descriptions and emotional impact. One thing that really grabs the reader's attention is the excellent use of dialogue. Accents and different dialects are a big part of it, and there are times when the characters come across as very clever. Cotta also proved to be skilled with pacing, based on the plot progression and romance timing.

The Conjurer's Curse is complex and exciting and has beautiful descriptions and dialogue. This would be an excellent read for middle schoolers and above or anyone who wants to experience the adventure in this young adult epic fantasy novel." - Gold Star, Literary Titan

"The zipping plot is punctuated with quiet introspective moments and brilliantly crafted action scenes. The richly detailed characters are given depth and nuance, especially when they struggle with their individual turmoil. Equally intriguing is Cotta's deft examination of how trauma and grief change people and how one's choices shape one's destiny. A brilliant YA fantasy that's as entertaining as it is thoughtful." - The Prairies Book Review

"The omniscient third-person narration delves into the intricacies of the magic system, the power of inner strength and courage, and a character-driven exploration of identity, connection, and belonging. Moments of quiet introspection stealthily seep into the strong narrative as Rowen struggles to find his footing in the vast land of Shandria while seeking answers to his burning questions about identity and discovery. The dramatic tension builds to a satisfying finale, delighting fans of intricate, complex fantasies. Brimming with rich detail in a magic-infused fantasy world and populated by achingly real characters, Cotta's story is thoroughly immersive to get lost in. Brilliantly crafted and thrilling." - BookView Review
