Piranesi is one of those characters. His open, eager attitude, coupled with a scientific precision and an utter humility is incredibly charming. I would gladly have read his journal entries about his explorations of The House even without the mysterious plot simmering in the background.

It’s been a while since I’ve read a book that I couldn’t put down. The beginning was confusing and slow, but the writing was worth pushing through. I’m glad I didn’t know much about this going in because I think that really helped me enjoy it and reflect on it. I wasn’t sure about the ending as soon as I had finished, but going back to read it again made me bump up my original rating.
