Hotel Magnifique by Emily J. Taylor Spoiler Free Review
Finished reading 5 – 17 January 2022
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Less than 5-word critique: compelling, magical, empowering, and thrilling.
I LOVED this book from day one. This one is absolutely un-put-down-able. And bringing the “Caraval” series and “The Night Circus” in discussion here regarding how the story is perfect for those who have read it, I haven’t read them yet but “Hotel Magnifique” has given me even more reason to hopefully read them sometime this year.
The story of the titular, magical hotel and the two sisters who come across it is beautifully written and vivid.
The characters are ones you will root for and make you cringe and gasp.
The magic system is unique in the sense that I have never come across it before in a book.
The writing style is brilliantly written and even funny at times. Without giving too much away, there is even amusing banter between characters sometimes.
Emily J. Taylor is a promising, fresh and exciting new voice in the young adult genre. After reading “Hotel Magnifique”, I can’t wait to see what she writes next.
Recommended to those who enjoy:
*Fantasy
*Magical locations
*Strong female protagonists
*Sisterhood
*Complex characters
*French inspired aspects and dialogue
*”Caraval” series and “The Night Circus”
Thank you so much NetGalley and Pushkin Press for this copy. I really appreciate and enjoyed it immensely.
P.S The cover is absolutely stunning. Great job to the artists behind it as well.
