I loved Piranesi so much that I've struggled to enjoy much that I've read since then because nothing seems to compare. Do you have any recommendations that include some of the things I loved most about Piranesi: a kind, gentle, earnest narrator, a beautiful world, and gorgeous writing? I've already read all of Susanna Clarke's other work, along with Erin Morgenstern's.
Thank you!

The Goblin Emperor, by Katherine Addison
You are nuts, its was not that good. I have read fantasy which I dont think anything compares and Piranesi is far from it.
This is good:
Tress of the Emerald Sea Brandon Sanderson
And if you really want to read fantasy that nothing compares:
Malazan book of the fallen by Steve Erikson.
But compare is relative different books offer different things. And there are lots of books I would rate better than Piranesi but it is a bit subjective. Malazan I dont think any world building I have read is as epic, its magic battles again I dont think anything compares, it has prose at a level which is not common in fantasy.
