4.5

I’m at a loss for words… I was enjoying my time, intrigued by the mystery, and out of nowhere I was sobbing my heart out as I finished reading. This hit my soul in an inexplainable way; it somehow feels like I, and we all, have lost something precious, and here we were made to witness it unfold.

«Piranesi» has so many elements I love in books, while being wrapped up in a truly unique setting. Based on my expectations I’d say it’s giving less spooks, but in return a literal deep dive into the human condition. The gaps between the lines here are huge and potentially open for a lot of interesting interpretations. Really happy to have read it, but now I’m hoping I can mentally recover..
