A review by mqabbadbest
Piranesi by Susanna Clarke

adventurous mysterious reflective fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? No
  • Loveable characters? No

2.5

Is that it? Where is the literary masterpiece that this book apparently is??

The idea of the labyrinth is cool, but unfortunately that is only what this book is. If writing consists of 3 things: Plot, Characters, and World-Building, Plot and Characters get a 1/5 and 2/5 respectively for me. The Plot (although gripping) is just one massive trope, and I cared about none of the characters in this book.
