4.3 AVERAGE


this book is something else completely. it feels like it takes you to a different world. tho there were a couple of places where i felt completely lost, i still loved this book immensely. highly recommend.
and btw at some point it gave me major ‘night film’ vibes. anybody else?

absolutely delightful

The House is enchanting. Piranesi is a pure soul... A must read for those who love worlds that go beyond reality... ✨

I didn’t know what to expect, but it was honestly great.
I started off very confused, and was relieved when I found out I was meant to be.
The reader goes through revelations alongside the main character.
I loved “Piranesi’s” youthful outlook on his world. It reminds the reader to be grateful for the simple beauty’s of our world.
I listened to this book and I think that helped me get over the first hump (which you MUST).

I was obsessed with at least 75% of this book. The house, the Other, the bones… the mystery! It was warm and inviting, and I had no idea how it would play out.

Unfortunately the end kind of fell flat for me which dropped it down a star. However I still absolutely love this book and highly recommended it.
