Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

adventurous dark emotional inspiring lighthearted mysterious reflective relaxing sad tense fast-paced

5.0

This book is brilliant! It was both strange and soothing to read, extremely well written, with tense parts at the perfect length. The mystery of it all was facinating, and nothing felt out if place or needless. This was both lovely and deeply sad. I loved Piranesi, whose innocent actions and ideas make him very likable and even adorable. He deserves the biggest hug possible. I enjoyed reading this book while listening to music that included the sound of the ocean waves, as it put me in the space Piranesi was in, and I read very quickly and easily.
