I have travelled to Labyrinth and back. 

From the first sentence of this book till the last, Susanna had my all my attention. The book starts with abrupt details of a whole different world of which you know nothing. It makes you wonder and imagine at each word. 

I loved connections and similarities between our world and labyrinth. It made it all the more exciting. The extensive details of directions, numbers, dates, smell, and scenery made me the traveller of labyrinth. This book made me Piranesi. His questions were my questions, his memory of the house was my memory , his experience, his curiosity, his pain, his frustration was mine. 

I got all my answers except why were some words with capital initials. Like - Science, Silence, Reason, Mercy, Spray. I will be thinking about that as I still do not know the Reason behind it ;)

I completed this book in a day, there was no way I could stop. There was no way I could stop thinking about it. Cannot recommend this book enough.
