Piranesi

Few books pull the reader into their world quite like this one does. I think the thing that makes this story feel so special is that by witnessing it, you feel like you're a part of it. Stepping into this world without context puts you in the shoes (or lack thereof) of the protagonist perfectly. The mystery at the core unfolds at a pace that keeps you just ahead of the hero and every page is packed with the most wonder-filled descriptions. You get to inhabit this childlike innocence through Piranesi that makes every discovery he makes so pure. The story was excellent, but the way it was told is what makes this a five star for me. I wanted to frame every page.

The craft on display here is something you don't see often in things that are actually fun to read. Pick it up!
