The book’s ending and Piranesi’s fate are both poignant and satisfying, a thought-provoking exploration of our layered selves and a moving parable about mental health. The Narrator says they take the other victim back to the labyrinth, but you never see it (at least, I cannot remember that happening). That victim feels so grateful to have someone who had experienced the same situation as they did. Sure, in the book it’s an alternate universe, and that may be true, but unless Susanna Clarke tells me otherwise, I’m sticking with my theory! The reason I hypothesize this is because, along with the statues, The Narrator goes to see another victim of The Other. The Shed Skin of the Incognito Princess 0 You no longer have the shed skin of the Incognito. Its rare for an ending to be truly, deeply satisfying, and Piranesis is. The sky is trapped on the floor above him filling the rooms with clouds and lightning that hide the statues housed within them. The ocean crashes on the floor beneath him and when the tides roll in he is in danger of being flooded out. What does the ending of Piranesi mean And it’s a story worth reading for many from start to end. A stoker sings: 'Prideful, a prince was locked in the dark while a poet was set free. Piranesi by Susanna Clarke science fiction and fantasy book and audiobook. Piranesi lives in a house of infinite rooms and endless corridors filled with statues. For readers of Neil Gaimans The Ocean at the End of the Lane and fans of Madeline Millers Circe, Piranesi introduces an astonishing new world, an infinite. This may seem silly, but to me, The Narrator actually had a mental break from reality. Piranesi is a station in the outer circle of Eleutheria, located in the same segment as The House of Rods and Chains. The Narrator mentions a certain human walking along the road that reminds them of a statue of a King, and that they took the best part of them and projected them upon the statues. To me, it seems like the statues are all people they’ve met in life. When The Narrator finally makes it back to their real world, they’re struck by the similarities of the people that they walk by and how they remind them of the statues they saw spread throughout the labyrinth. You’re back? Good! So, about the statues and the ending.
