This is a relatively short book. How did all the action start only at like 50% (if not 75%)? At first I was hooked. I liked the dream-like atmosphere, mistery, and vibes. But. This action thing started just before me dnf ing this. At some point (second cuarter?)i got annoyed by piranesi’s innosence. Even the action started slowly and built itself up. Then down again.. i wouldnt recommend spending your time on this. Read a spoilary discussion somewhere if you must. There are much better things out there. If there were any plot twists at all I predicted them already. Yes the 6th and 7th parts are nice. But still. Dissapointment.
