sarahxify 's review for:

Piranesi by Susanna Clarke
3.0
mysterious slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

It was fun to read the ideas of the artist Piranesi brought to life and I thought this was well-written and intriguing. I thought the tie-in to the modern era kind of spoiled it though, I found it to be a little rough and would have vastly preferred it without this tie-in, or with a more lyrical writing style to mesh them together a bit more seamlessly. 

For fans of The Water Cure by Sophie Mackintosh and Love and Other Thought Experiments by Sophie Ward.
