A review by jenhurst
Hotel Magnifique by Emily J. Taylor
3.0
2.5.
Honestly I was really disappointed by this book. I loved the night circus and enjoyed caraval despite its flaws. I love games, circuses/fairs/carnivals/amusement park stories. This book was marketed as the night circus and caraval but in a hotel that travelled. I expected lush descriptions and purple prose like the other two books but I didn’t feel that from this book. It read very much like a debut novel. There was pacing issues and a lot of info dumping. The protagonist also fit the dumb protagonist role and was just really annoying. I still love the idea but the execution was just a disappointment for me unfortunately.
