RSQ Reviews Piranesi | A Beautiful, Frustrating, One-of-a-Kind Read

In this full episode of Reader’s Side Quest, we dive deep into Piranesi—a book that is genuinely unlike anything else we’ve read… and also one of the hardest books we’ve ever had to review. We talk through: Why Piranesi feels completely singular (for better and worse) The unreliable, amnesiac narrator and how that shapes the entire reading experience The intentionally confusing opening—and whether it asks too much patience from readers Emotional impact vs. thematic depth Worldbuilding that’s vivid but strangely empty An ending that makes sense… but still leaves us unsatisfied This is one of those reads where we kept asking: “Did we need more… or is that the point?” We don’t fully agree, we change our minds mid-conversation, and we land on an RSQ score of 7.5—a strong recommendation with some very real caveats. If you like slow, atmospheric, puzzle-box stories and don’t mind sitting in confusion for a while, this one might really work for you. If you’re a fast-paced, trope-driven reader… this might test your patience. Let us know where you landed on Piranesi—love it, hated it, or somewhere uncomfortably in between. Next up: Castle of a Thousand Doors by Kenny Gould. #RSQ
