• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated

4.0

I was definitely pulled into this book from the very beginning. As soon as Piranesi began discovering clues as to where he was and who he is I could not put the book down and finished it in a few days. Honestly I felt the reveal came a bit too early and I would have enjoyed wandering the halls with Piranesi for a bit longer. At times I found Piranesi's naivety a bit frustrating and rolled my eyes more than once, but otherwise he is a very charming character.
