Shannon’s Thoughts:

Piranesi’s home is not a normal home. It is hallways of labyrinths, statues, and oceans. He has a journal to keep track of the tide in some hallways and rejoices in the art of others. He is not alone either there is “The Other” who is looking for a way out or back to his home. Soon Piranesi learns that “The Other” is hiding things including Piranesi memories.

I had not read Susanna Clarke’s first book, Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell but it was a favorite of my husband. I requested it as the description was intriguing. I have to say I loved it from the beginning. The way Piranesi viewed the world and the living things in it just kept drawing me in.

I am not sure how I feel about the ending. It could have gone so many ways and I still had questions that were not answered. I hope that maybe we will see the characters again.

I would recommend this highly to anyone who likes fantasy or mythology.
