Titus Groan by Mervyn Peake

5.0

I can't stop thinking about this book. I finished it years ago, but it still fills my imagination. It just feels like every character is a legend, larger than life, central to all fantasy constructs after its publication. And yet... I had never known a thing about any of them! Never heard of their names, never known the references, never immersed myself previously in the world. It's like every set piece, every character, arrives fully-formed. If you're reading this review, you should most certainly try to read this book.
