Yeah, it's a good series overall.
It is rare that you run a book that sucks you in the way Piranesi does.

And this contrast between the way the character perceives his circumstances and the reality of the situation is kind of haunting.

Piranesi is a real gem, I ran across it last year and it was absolutely delightful.
