Edit ProfileCareer
Aamodt's first book was In A Name to Conjure With, released in 1989. Pam Spencer, reviewing the work in Voice of Youth Advocates, praised its “many exciting and quick-paced scenes” and declared that it would interest fans of fantasy literature. Booklist contributor Roland Green stated that A Name to Conjure With “is executed with a skill beyond that of most first novels.”
In 1991 Aamodt wrote a sequel named Troubling Along the Border. While citing problems with uneven pacing and sketchy plot development, Carolyn Cushman in Locus praised the book for “plenty of ... action, an unusual enchanted castle, and enough intriguing characters to keep things fun, fast and furious.”
