A review by keinbock
Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

5.0

I loved following the character in his journey toward knowledge, kinda a reverse flowers for algernon that was utterly immersive. The mystery and nature of the worldbuilding was awesome, and the reveal of the horrifying origin of the narrator is  shocking and fits perfectly. I am usually not a fan of ambiguous endings,  but this one works; I was a huge fan of getting inside the narrator's head and the various identities residing there.  Beautiful but not ostentatious prose.
