4.0

Overall, I enjoyed this book. I would give it 5 stars, but I found the writing style a little bit difficult. Until the last quarter of the book, I was often losing focus and had to reread whole pages because I missed parts. I also felt the book ended a little too soon. I thought it was leading up to Piranesi and Raphael having a conversation that resulted in them deciding to go back to the House, to bring James Ritter with them, and live the rest of their days there. Even if they didn't decide to go back to the House I would have liked to see their conversation in the cafe in the end.
