Floating Hotel is a mixed bag. There’s a lot going on, and we’re not always privy to the reasons why. A lot of characters and it’s hard to gather much idea about why they all end up in the Hotel.
The hotel has, for many decades, toured space and taken passengers around the galaxy. We see the manager Carl when he first gets on board, and we soon become aware that many of the guests are not what they seem. Someone keeps writing messages to people on board and there’s a number of undercover agents trying to find out the identity of the mysterious lamplighter.
Having just finished I feel this struggled with trying to work out what it was. Sci-fi, mystery or something else.
