Praise for Floating Hotel
“Clever prose and lush descriptions . . . Curtis has a knack for keeping things intimate and understated, peeling back the layers of the novel’s scrappy found family. Centering optimism in the face of an increasingly dark universe, this feel-good saga lingers long after it’s finished.“ — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Melancholic and nostalgic, Floating Hotel is an ode to circumstantial companions that left this reviewer pondering old friends who now live miles away, off in their own stories.” —Ralph Harris, BookPage
“Floating Hotel is rich with kindness, with big-hearted characters from every corner of the ship, but it also has teeth, a working-class sensibility, and a rebellious heart. This one is a treat.“— Molly Templeton, Esquire
“If you liked Station Eleven, check out Floating Hotel. It follows a hotel that flies through space, all year moving to different planets and systems and providing guests with a delightful stay. While the hotel itself is intriguing (no one knows who is driving the ship), there’s also much to learn about the various guests and staff who stay there. And the hotel’s manager specifically has his own personal conflicts, about when to stay at this lovely hotel, or when to leave.”— Men’s Health
“Curtis has done it again—delivering a high stakes slice-of-life novel that’s bleeding with heart. The underbelly of the Abeona hotel may be rotting with secrets, but like the guests, you’ll be too dazzled by its effortless charm to notice. If you read one sci-fi novel this year, make it this one.” —Kate Dylan, author of Mindwalker
“Bittersweet and breathtaking, with evocative prose and a scope that’s somehow both intimate and galaxy-spanning, Floating Hotel is like the Abeona itself. It invites you to enjoy its atmospheric and multi-layered story and lovable cast at your leisure—and the deeper you get, the less willing you are to let it go. Grace Curtis has a new fan for life!” —Jules Arbeaux, author of Lord of the Empty Isles
