Before she became head of security, she worked as a timestream agent, accompanying guests on trips back in time. But January is suffering from a condition known as Unstuck. January is the house detective-slash-security officer, and she loves her job, which involves keeping track of the many hotel guests, watching out for security breaches and making sure no one breaks the rules of time travel.
So, to reiterate: there isn’t really any time travel here, only glimpses of the past seen through the eyes of our main character, January Cole. Instead, the story takes place entirely in the Paradox Hotel, which services rich travelers who have booked expensive trips to the past through a time travel hub called the Einstein Intercentury Timeport-kind of like staying at the Disneyland Hotel if you’re spending a long weekend at Disneyland. I thought the book was going to focus more on time travel adventures, but that’s not at all what it’s about. This was a strange little story, but I ended up really enjoying it after a bit of a rocky start. The nitty-gritty: A fun mystery with interesting characters and relationships, The Paradox Hotelwas full of good ideas but ended up confusing me more than anything.
