I’ve read a number of mixed reviews for Hotel Magnifique. Especially from those that have read Caraval and The Night Circus. Since I have not read any of the aforementioned novels, I probably didn’t have as much of a bias. Not having any preconceived notions or expectations of the book, allowed me to thoroughly enjoy the journey and wonderment of the narrative.The characters are well developed and consists of a nice blend of mysteriousness, eeriness, innocence and elegance. Like any good novel, there are the good actors and the bad actors. And Hotel Magnifique has a nice balance of good and bad.The pace of the novel is just right. It flows slowly at the beginning since there is quite a bit of world building. The pace then takes off with magic and mystery. I was amazed at the imaginative plot — combining a belle-epoque fantasy world filled with magicians and magical artifacts. Author, Emily J. Taylor has crafted a stunning masterpiece that is not to be missed. Five outstanding stars.

I'm not too far into this book but the author seems to be struggling to describe characters by simply putting skin color rather than other more specific and prominent important details to make a character interesting... its brown skin person, or pale skin person or olive skin person and its very repetitive and distracting...so in short I am struggling with the writing. I do find the idea very interesting so I am hoping the story makes up for the flaws of character description.....
