Description
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. 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?

Grace Curtis manages to create a cosy sci-fi that's also dramatic, mysterious, and a mirror to today's world in the way that only the best novels can.
This is the story of an aging space hotel, on a cruise around the human-populated galaxy, and more specifically its crew members, and how this came to be their home.
It's a wonderful construction, with interesting presentation, and I really loved getting to meet all the characters, to understand how they fit together, and gradually to see the curtain peeled back on the universe that Curtis has created.
