Piranesi

Unlike anything I've read before, and very thought-provoking.

(Major spoilers:) I enjoyed the journal entry format, and slowly recognizing the separation between Piranesi/Matthew/whoever he became. I think typically I would simply wish for Matthew to be restored—certainly I don't want him to be gone forever—but not if it means losing Piranesi. I felt a strange panic the first time a Hall was mentioned without capitalization; that simple change felt like the loss of Piranesi's awe and reverence of the House.

It is also interesting for a character to be rescued after years of imprisonment, but the place of imprisonment to remain beautiful and worth visiting. I hope Piranesi and Raphael (and Ritter) can enjoy it safely for many years.

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