A review by kizzia
Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

challenging dark emotional inspiring mysterious sad medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

This book has left me hollowed out in the best way possible; scoured and reshaped by the tides of the story. Reading it felt like entering a fever dream and - having just now finished the last page - I wish to immediately return to the beginning and be swallowed up again. Wonder filled and wonderful and worthy of everyone’s attention.
