A review by kateships
Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

adventurous mysterious medium-paced

5.0

What a mindfuck. 

Based on the description and recommendations, I thought I’d like this book. Then I started it and didn’t think I’d enjoy it. The journal format is fun, but I worried it would feel disjointed. It all comes together though. It felt whimsical and light and fun in the beginning, and then it was like a ball of yarn unraveling to reveal something sinister. I gasped at certain points and never knew what was coming. 

What a fun book.
