5.0

I have never read anything quite like Piranesi. I am certainly eager to read Susanna Clarke’s other work, as I’m incredibly curious as to see what else the imaginative mind that spawned this book can come up with. The prose is beautiful and at times haunting. The way dramatic irony is utilized is masterful. I highly recommend you go in as blind as you can.
