This book had a good amount of exposition and additional detail. It had many romance tropes, but still kept up the main plot without cheapening the story. There was never a sudden "i just met this person but now I'm madly jealous of someone talking to them," never a romance that upends the purpose of the story. It tried to stay balanced. The romance was heavy: 50% romance, 50% plot. There are a good few unnecessary plottwists/decisions that only added so much. Overall, the book was enjoyable, even if it wasn't revolutionary.

This story has spirited away and howls moving castle vibes. Definitely recommend for fans of The Night Circus or Caraval. Come visit hotel Magnifique and see if the magic is truly marvellous or what dark secrets are hiding behind it. The hotel travels around this world which features lots of interesting places. There's a ton called Skaadi which reminds me of a expensive mythical Norway.
