The Splendor

If you liked Caraval and Hotel Magnifique, you will like this!!

It's a little less fantasy-based than Caraval, and is more along the lines of Hotel Magnifique, but it is just utterly amazing.

I think this book can best be summarized with a quote (that may or may not be paraphrased because I cannot for the life of me find it in my book) "Fantasies are perfect, but they cannot love you back" which was a slap in the face in the best way.

Within the Enchanted Walls of the Hotel Splendor Lies the Truth That Juliette is Desperate to Find When Juliette’s sister, Clare, returns from her birthday week at the magical hotel upon a hill, she comes back changed. All at once, it seems Clare’s love for Juliette has vanished. Or perhaps it was stolen. Deeply unsettled, Juliette uses the last of her savings to book a stay at the Splendor and unravel its mysteries. Run by the talented young illusionist, Henri, the halls are full of magnificent delights and alluring distractions. Every wonder seemsto twist Juliette’s attention away from the answers lurking just beneath the surface. Even as Henri reveals the truths behind his illusions, Juliette is uncertain whom she can trust in this palace of lies. The Splendor promised Juliette her dreams, but the longer she stays, the more it feels like a nightmare.
