Hotel Magnifique by Emily J. Taylor
4.0
I saw Hotel Magnifique advertised as a mix between Caraval and The Night Circus since I LOVED Caraval I obviously had to jump at the opportunity to read this one! This is exactly what I expected, Hotel Magnifique brings us a beautiful and magical young adult fantasy with immersive world-building and some really interesting and compelling characters. There's definitely the same eerie and mysterious feel you get from Caraval and it's packed full of an adventures story.
I loved the plot of the book and the story was so magical and will keep you guessing and wanting to learn more about the secrets and the hidden aspects of the hotel. I loved that there was a little romance present but it wasn't the main focus and never really took center stage, Jani and Bel also have a very unique and interesting chemistry that keeps you hooked on their relationship as well.
The ending of the book was SO good - it wrapped everything up and gave you the perfect feeling of closure that you typically want. My ONE complaint is that the prologue felt like a different story or at least a different genre, but it does set the stage for the story really well!
