This book is so special. It's the second book I read this year, and the second one was after I realized I love books that have houses as the main theme or even the character. Here's how I saw the house on this one, it's a place to retreat when everything in the world is overwhelming. The labyrinth and the halls where the familiar routines and faces that Piranesi was entirely comfortable with it's become his safe space. I love it, a world inside of your own.

I entered this house in a dream, leaving it waiting to return.
