ninaprime 's review for:

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke
4.25
adventurous hopeful mysterious medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

Conceptually fascinating, with an atmospheric setting and an endearing protagonist, an easy-to-hate villain, and a badass lady cop. All the elements worked for me, though I do wish we got a little more exploration about the house, its rooms, and some of the prior occupants.
