5.0

You know how there are some characters who, within the first few pages, you know you would gladly die for?

Piranesi is one of those characters. His open, eager attitude, coupled with a scientific precision and an utter humility is  incredibly charming. I would gladly have read his journal entries about his explorations of The House even without the mysterious plot simmering in the background.
