Piranesi by Susanna Clarke
3.0
adventurous mysterious relaxing medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No

I quite liked the beginning of Piranesi. The House is a great setting with the descriptions of the statues and tides being intriguing. Our main character is lovable with his optimism and naivety. The mysteries did not have obvious solutions I could guess with ease. 
However, the further the story progressed the less I enjoyed it with an ending that did not inspire me much.
The build up to 16 had me interested but her identity left me disappointed. The Other was less than I had hoped and his ending was rather flat. There was nothing too audacious about the ending that I was hoping for. Overall a decent novel.
