Hotel Magnifique
Author: Emily J. Taylor
Publisher: Pushkin Children’s Books

“Hotel Magnifique” is a YA fantasy novel that revolves around the eponymous hotel and follows the story of seventeen-year-old Jani and her younger sister as they embark on an adventure within its enchanting walls. The book promises a mix of decadence, mystery, and the uncovering of dark secrets. It also showcases, very subtly though, the importance of kinship and how important it is to have someone you can trust around you.

The concept of a magical hotel that changes location and offers opulent experiences holds significant potential for an immersive and captivating storyline. The allure of the golden ceilings, enchanting soirées, and fountains flowing with champagne creates an atmosphere of whimsy and escapism that is likely to appeal to fans of fantasy novels.

The inclusion of Jani and her sister as protagonists seeking to escape their mundane lives by securing jobs at the Hotel Magnifique adds a relatable and aspirational element to the narrative. Their journey of self-discovery and uncovering the hotel’s secrets potentially provides an engaging plot arc.

The mention of a shadowy maître running the hotel and the sinister spots in the hotel’s façade utilizes foreshadowing to predict that there may be a darker undertone to the story, adding intrigue and suspense. Exploring the price paid by those who reside in the hotel promises to add depth to the narrative and raise thought-provoking questions.

It invites readers into a world of luxury and secrets, enticing them to explore the true nature of the hotel and its inhabitants. If you enjoy immersive fantasy stories that blend opulence with darkness, “Hotel Magnifique” might be worth considering.

Best wishes to the author!
