Titus Groan by Mervyn Peake
5.0

Such amazing world building and fantastic characterisation. I had first read this many years ago, and remembered the claustrophobic feeling of the vast castle Gormenghast and the scheming Steerpike. This was like reading it for the first time - for me a great and engrossing read. (One very minor quibble - wish he hadn't called spiders insects).
