I audibly sighed with joy and hugged this book to my chest when I finished it. It was such a refreshing story, quite unlike anything else I've ever read. Even so, fans of Caraval, Shadow and Bone, and The Night Circus will adore this story.
Sisters Jani and Zosa attempt to escape the monotony of their unremarkable lives by joining the staff of the Hotel Magnifique but they have no idea what they've really signed up for. In a place so full of magic that up is down and left is right, it's nearly impossible to know who to trust and what is real.
Everything is just as magnificent as the Hotel Magnifique itself. Both the world-building and the characters are well developed. The magic system is incredible and complex, but still very easy to understand. The action and suspense are nonstop and guaranteed to have you pulling an all-nighter because I assure you... you will not be able to put it down.
There are so many mysteries and twists woven together so beautifully. They fit seamlessly into the plot. I'm honestly flabbergasted that this book is a debut novel for this author. And the romance!! This book had the BEST slow burn I have read in a very long time. The banter, the tension, the delicate balance of trust and secrets... it was phenomenal.
I truly devoured this book and I urge everyone to preorder and read it immediately upon release. This one is an instant bestseller.
