Having bounced of Jonathan Strange, but also impressed by Clarke’s prose and story chops I was excited for Piranesi.
This is a book that will stay with me for a long time and will be on my recommendation list for those who want to dabble in more fantastical stories that they don’t usually read

Closing out story arcs can be tricky. I enjoyed many moments of the story, but I agree with another review that it does feel there was less bite in this one.
Regardless as a fan of Reynolds prose and turns of phrase there were great moments that made me slyly grin and that’s worth the price of admission in this universe.

King doesn’t always hit for me due to unknown reasons, yet this never was a problem with The Dark Tower. There’s just something about the feel to these books that puts me right into the dreamlike and myth making mid-world mood that makes me want to do a quick reread every so often.
Even if one doesn’t continue to the end of the series to see if Roland will ever stand in Can’-Ka No Rey. Will he ever understand his Ka? It’s still such a pleasure to follow the man in black who flees across the desert for at least one tale.
Long days and pleasant nights, stranger…
