A review by coryyalva
Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

adventurous mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? No

5.0

EDIT: changing my review to 5 stars because it has been a week since I read it and I can't stop thinking about it. It is forever ingrained in my mind in the best way.

this book was absolutely breathtaking. getting to follow Piranesi around The House as he explored and theorized of its nature was truly an honor, and to watch the plot unfold into something I had never even expected was exhilarating.

thank you thank you Susanna Clark for writing this beautiful, twisted masterpiece!
