Loved every second and every sentence of it.
It feels like a whole new genre, with the perfectly constructed mystery to discover along the main character, Piranesi. But never shallow, quite the opposite, with profound questions about the world and it's workings.
After about 3/4 I worried about the ending, but it was perfect.
The way Clarke uses language and orthography to build worlds is superb.
