Amazing and unique plot. It had alot of unique twists that turned the whole story but it would've been alittle bit better if the writer put in more description of the main character's past. Aside from that it's just magnificent.

Started out very slow. Very fantasy based reminding you of a mix between Harry Potter and The Hunger Games. Starting off it was okay, but I eventually after investing a great deal finally got into the book. Very confusing at times but a very unique and interesting story.

4/5. Dit boek was vele malen beter dan ik initieel had verwacht, vooral op basis van de eerste bladzijden. Een vriendin heeft dit boek aan me geleend (thanks Odette!!), met de boodschap dat ik deze waarschijnlijk wel zou kunnen waarderen, want heeft The Night Circus vibes. Nou vind ik dat echt een van de meest magische boeken die er zijn - dus ik was geïntrigeerd. Mijn conclusie is dat het niet in die zin er echt op lijkt, maar! Ik vind het een heel goed opgebouwd boek, leest heerlijk snel en de spanning is er. Je voelt langzaam dat er dingen niet helemaaaal zijn zoals ze horen te zijn, en zo ontrafelt het verhaal zich verder. Het einde vond ik fijn en, hoewel wel erg snel gaand, goed passend. Zou hem zeker aanraden!

''Hotel Magnifique'' is a YA fantasy standalone that takes place in a fantastical hotel.

The story has some interesting parts, like the hotel, and some really dark scenes that set it apart from the basic YA romantasy books, but weren't enough in the end. The romance was eye-rollingly predictable, the magic was all over the place, and the whole story was a let down.

Still, I loved the sisterly bond.
