Contemporary YA is not a genre I read often, especially if there's romance involved, but I really enjoyed this one! There's a dash of fantasy or magical realism as well, and a mystery in the second part of the book. I've been in a reading slump for the past couple of weeks and this helped bring me out of it. It was cute, cozy, fun, and a little ridiculous.
It takes place around the last week of Christmas up to the first week of January, but there's not a huge emphasis on the holidays. I would definitely recommend it for a general winter read, or if you're looking for a holiday read that's more subtle.
The romance was a little cringey for me at a few points as an adult reader, but I still thought it was cute and it didn't hinder my enjoyment of the book.
Overall, the audiobook narrator did a great job bringing the characters to life with all the different accents, but I sometimes found the accents she used for the main character and a few of the side characters hard to understand (German or Swiss I think?). I had to listen to most of the book at a reduced speed to understand it. There were also a lot of characters to keep track of, which I find difficult to do when listening to audiobooks.

Das Wolkenschloss muss ein magischer Ort sein. Die Beschreibungen im Buch lassen das Hotel wirken, wie ein realer Ort, und ich finde, das ist Kerstin Giers Magie.
Sie weiß einfach, was sie tut.
"Wolkenschloss" ist mal wieder eins dieser Bücher, zu denen ich nicht viel sagen kann, denn ich denke, die Reise zum Wolkenschloss muss man selber machen. Es ist also Zeit, die Koffer zu packen.
Ja, es ist etwas langatmig, aber ganz ehrlich, das fällt nur auf, wenn man zu lange darüber nachdenkt.
Ich kann nur sagen, dass das Wolkenschloss Geheimnisse hinter seinen Türen birgt, und dass ich es nur wärmsten empfehlen kann, eine Taschenlampe und Schuhe mit gedämpfter Sohle einzupacken, denn eine dieser Türen wird aufgehen - und dann geht das Abenteuer los!
