No notes. A modern day classic. The words are so inviting that you don't want to come out of the labyrinth and the genre switch is  an absolute thing of beauty. 

10/10, loved it. The "unreliable narrator" is one of my favourite writing styles and Susanna Clarke knocked it out of the park with this one!
medium-paced

gutted. how kind.

this book made me anxious but credit to the author 

2.5 stars but I rounded up. getting through the first half of this book was a TREK. but I pushed through, and the second half was super smooth and easy and I read it basically in one sitting. I’m glad I got through it because I did really enjoy the second and third acts a ton but the first bit was so incredibly boring and I was genuinely questioning why the ratings were so high
