A review by lisa_mc
The Paragon Hotel by Lyndsay Faye
3.0
Interesting premise and historical detail, but the pacing was uneven and while I love a bunch of strong female protagonists, these characters seemed a bit too woke for a hundred years ago. The language, too, was uneven -- some characters didn't seem to have a consistent voice.
I liked this novel fine -- it was a good enough read, better if you're really into historical fiction -- but I'm not thrusting it into the hands of the rest of my friends (my book club read it and I'm the one who got the books from the library, so I guess I sort of thrust it into their hands).
