This one is a treat." —Molly Templeton, Esquire This cozy science fiction novel tells a story of misfits, rebels, found family—and a mystery that spans the stars Welcome to the Grand Abeona Hotel: home of the finest food, the sweetest service, and the very best views the galaxy has to offer. All year round it moves from planet to planet, system to system, pampering guests across the furthest reaches of the milky way. The last word in sub-orbital luxury—and an absolute magnet for intrigue. Intrigues such as: Why are there love poems in the lobby inbox? How many Imperial spies are currently on board? What is the true purpose of the Problem Solver’s conference? And perhaps most pertinently—who is driving the ship? Each guest has a secret, every member of staff a universe unto themselves. At the center of these interweaving lives and interlocking mysteries stands Carl, one time stowaway, longtime manager, devoted caretaker to the hotel. It’s the love of his life and the only place he’s ever called home. But as forces beyond Carl’s comprehension converge on the Abeona, he has to face one final question: when is it time to let go?

Gar nicht mein Fall.

Dabei ist es so gut gestartet. Ich habe die Idee richtig gefühlt - ein geheimnisvolles Space Hotel, eine mysteriöse Reise über Angestellte sowie Reisende in der Zukunft. Die ersten Seiten hatte ich richtig viel Spaß daran mir alles vor meinem geistigen Auge vorzustellen, wie die Zimmer wohl aussehen, wie die verschiedenen Bereiche eines Hotels wohl in einem riesigen Spaceship aufgeteilt sein könnten und und und. Dann kam für mich leider nichts interessantes mehr. Ich bin geistig abgedriftet, keine der Personen hat mich interessiert, die verschiedenen Begegnungen und Herausforderungen und zu lösende Rätsel kamen mir so lose eingeschmissen vor. Ich hatte irgendwie so gar keinen roten Faden und war dann auch gar nicht traurig als mein eBook sich aufgehängt hat, kurz vor dem Ende. Ich musste mich ab ca 100 Seiten ziemlich selbst motivieren weiterzulesen. Leider war für mich lediglich die Grundidee solide, der Rest hat meine Zeit verschwendet 😬

Eine interessante Geschichte, die das Ende und das Schicksal des Hotels offen lässt.

So gut.

Spannend, aber leicht zu lesen und schön.

A mystery in a very low level sci-fi setting

It took me quite a while to get into the book, also because there are (too) many POVs. But the mystery around the lamplighter's identity did catch me eventually! I just think that the scifi setting was quite replacable, e.g. with a setting of cruise ship on Earth in the future, which suited me well because I'm not that much into that :D

Multiple perspectives blend together to build a world and a mystery. I enjoyed learning the characters' stories, but sometimes found the wider plot a little difficult to follow. Overall, though, it was an enjoyable read with a warming found family vibe.
