The Invisible Hotel was one that took me a little while to finish. I was immediately entranced by the setting. Yeji Y. Ham does a fantastic job establishing a tone of atmospheric eeriness, and I expected that she would build on that early suspense. However, the book never really felt like it took off for me. The pacing was slow throughout, and even though I genuinely enjoyed the writing, I didn't feel particularly compelled to keep picking up the book. Still, I would absolutely read more writing by Ham.

Thank you to NetGalley for my advanced reader copy.
