No in-depth review. This book is better experienced without knowing anything. Loved the prose, the characters, the setting, the House.
It was beautiful.

“The Beauty of the House is immeasurable; its Kindness infinite.”

DNF at 20%. Honestly I cant be asked to plod through this. Extremely bland.

I felt super lost up until ~30% ish of this book until the mystery finally started unfolding. What a nice read!

This is a beautiful book and the audiobook narration by Chiwetel Ejiofor is really something special. I know I'll be thinking about it for a long time.

Such a great book it was. One among “those” books in which I couldn't contain my excitement to know what might happen next.

Absolutely my kind of book hell yes

Unlike anything I've read before. There's so much good stuff in 245 pages, the last 150-ish are dense but it's very captivating. Reminded me of The Ocean at the End of the Lane. Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell I'll read soon :D

I know it's only January but this is the best book I've read this year. Beautifully crafted, Clarke guides the reader into Piranesi's world through his notebooks.

I tried to keep up hope that something would happen in the book that would change my feelings towards it to the positive. It never happened.
