Summary
The Grand Budapest Hotel in space, Floating Hotel is a hopeful story of misfits, rebels and found family, perfect for fans of Becky Chambers, Martha Wells and Aliette de Bodard.
Welcome to the Grand Abeona Hotel: home of the finest food, the sweetest service, and the very best views the galaxy has to offer. 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 a magnet for intrigue. Intrigues such as:
Why are there love poems in the lobby intray?
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?
At the centre of these 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?

Some good ideas
I did quite enjoy this. I like the way it introduces characters and backstories. I like the concept. I did feel some of the stories were a little weak. I didn’t like quite a lot of the characters but I think that was the point. I couldn’t help feeling there wasn’t a clear plan and some of it was made up as it went along. Having said that, I don’t regret the investment of listening even if the use of Australian and American accents didn’t feel quite right in place.
Not great but I wanted to finish it.

excellent debut novel
thoroughly enjoyed this novel and look forward to more from this author.
I was less keen on the audio, where a lot of the accents/"voices" just felt wrong.
