I don't know why it's taken me so long to read this since I loved station eleven. The Glass Hotel has a less interesting plot than Station Eleven but the writing is way better. I absolutely loved the prose of this book, it was so beautiful. I loved the way the different stories all came together. I easily get bored with character driven novels if they're not well written but this wasn't an issue here. I definitely read this book slowly but it was because I wanted to savour it. Definitely my favourite read so far this year.
