Woah, this book felt like a fever dream, but this dreamy style of writing was written in a way that could have very well been a metaphor for trauma and mental illness that the main character Piranesi undergoes.
Despite being a bit too meandering in its plot towards the middle of this book, upon reflection I do think that was needed, specifically in order to build up Piranesi’s attachment to the fantastical world around him.
But yes, I do need to sit on this book, it is both a beautiful and fantastical novel, whilst also having so many tinges of sadness interwoven throughout the story!💜

É muito esquisito adentrar nesse universo. A sensação de estranheza constante, de que está perdido em uma dimensão gigantesca e sozinha..
É uma experiência literaria interessante mas que perde o folego de 65% pro final. Mesmo que seja nessas partes que as revelações se iniciaram.
Vou demorar muito ainda pra me situar e digerir essa leitura!!

Blown away by this book. One of the strangest, most perplexing, yet beautiful things I’ve read in a long time. I don’t feel like I’ve read anything else quite like it? Is it sad/magic/religious/imaginative/beautiful? All of this at once? I don’t know. The world and character building is fascinating. Reminds me of minotaurs, Narnia, explorer’s journals, and a bit of Stockholm syndrome.

"the Beauty of the House is immeasurable; its Kindness infinite" SHUT UP!!!!
I thought this was a weird fantastical story or retelling about the labyrinth, I didn't want an urban fantasy murder mystery that ends with a lame ass "the world has beautiful things to show you if only you have the eyes to see it" type line.
this book is split into seven parts and part one really drew me in I was living for it; part two was intriguing and I was Listening, but by part three I was just like... okay so what's going to actually happen though? and the rest... actually piranesi I'd just prefer to read your journals cataloging all the statues I don't give a fuck about the missing academics like...
I remember being super curious about this book when it came out, but for some reason I just... never picked it up. I'm kind of glad to have read it because at least now I know what people are talking about when they recommend this book or compare it to others, but in the end, I was very much let down :/
TL;DR sam u pick the next book
