I’m very glad that I picked this book up earlier than I originally intended. The ending of the last one thoroughly captivated me and, at least so far, the momentum it built is being utilized extremely well.

I feel like not much has happened regarding plot, but that doesn’t matter. The world-building, mystery and character voice are all interesting to the extent where you just want to keep reading to find out the next answer.

I promised myself that I would only read books I currently own. Alas, my impulses take me elsewhere.

AKA, Piranesi was €2 on Kindle and I could not pass that up.

The first 150 pages felt slow, meandering, a bit confused. It has won me over with the end of part 1 and what I’ve read of part 2. Still feeling a little skeptical on if it can keep me invested until the end, though. We’ll see.

Being utterly immersed in a book is a double-edged sword. When the ship sails smoothly and the characters are successful, you share their glee. You share their amazement when they look af the mountains or the sun rising in the sky, you feel their happy moments. But when the tension builds and it explodes into a climactic moment, where maybe someone doesn’t make it out of.. hoo boy. I cried real tears over this book

Wow, this book is TENSE right now. Had to force myself to stop reading, otherwise I’d probably have read till very late at night. So far it’s one of the best novels I’ve read thus far, really wondering if it sticks the landing and how it ends.

I’m REALLY into this book. Reading a story about a flu-like virus that kills 99% of people on a plane on which a big chunk of people were sneezing and snottering and coughing was interesting to say the least, though.
