“The detailed worldbuilding and prose will inspire comparisons to Alix E. Harrow.” —Library Journal
“Appalachia comes alive in Codega’s atmospheric debut fantasy…Codega weaves Appalachian magic and Southern cunning throughout their protagonists’ crusade and brings in an exploration of what it is to be queer in the South. Readers will find lots to love.” —Publishers Weekly
“With a voice as unique and haunting as the Appalachian setting, Codega delivers an enchanting story of witchcraft, nature and industry, and the power of a love that can move mountains.”—Hester Fox, author of The Book of Thorns
“What an amazing read! Richly textured and full of bright, beating hope, Motheater is a captivating debut.” —Rory Power, New York Times-bestselling author of Wilder Girls
“With Motheater, Codega weaves a darkly enthralling yarn steeped in loss and rage, deftly spinning Appalachia’s past, present, and its rich folkloric tradition into something much more than the sum of its parts.” —Gretchen Felker-Martin, USA Today-bestselling author of Manhunt and Cuckoo
“A haunted church, a living mountain, an Appalachian witch called from a sleep lasting more than a century—this is a unique tale of love and magic, of a curse to be undone and an environmental disaster to be averted. Motheater will enchant all readers of witch stories!” —Louisa Morgan, Endeavor Award finalist for A Secret History of Witches
