I had a good time with this one. It was deeply set in a historical time and place and I was worried that the history would overtake the story, but I should have known that Maggie is the queen of character writing. June is such a complete and interesting character. I could read books and books of June figuring out her guests and anticipating their needs before they know they need them. Tucker was a delightful counterpoint to June and I cared a lot about his decisions. 

The other important character in this story was the hotel itself. The hotel and its staff were a well oiled machine that was great to watch. The mystical water and its needs were also a major component that could not be predicted. 

I thought this was going to be a more depressing story, but it was kind of more of a mystery with a lot of interpersonal tangles. Overall, I really liked this one and the audiobook was great.
