A review by astridrv
Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

funny mysterious reflective medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Loveable characters? Yes
Read it in one sitting, what a blast! A soft, sad, magical little tale. I adored the mystery of the first half and felt the ending was a bit heavy on explanations. It made sense for the naïve voice of the narrator, but also underestimated the reader a little bit. I would have liked the masterful mystery of the first third to envelop the entire book. Nonetheless, I was somewhere else, and very touched.
