i absolutely loved this book. the prose was fantastic, and created a vivid world that i missed whenever i wasn’t reading the book. piranesi is honestly the most pure thing to ever exist, i love him. the pacing of this book was perfect, with just the right combination of world building and plot. towards the end, i could not put it down. this book was definitely an amazing surprise.
