The story itself was 5⭐, but some things were a bit boring to read. 
Inferno was the book I found the most interesting, the way Dante and Virgilio went through that journey and interacted with the condemned.

Purgatory wasn't what I thought but they purge their sins, but it's a weird setting, they're punished but not as bad as Inferno. 

I loved how Dante portrayed hell and Heaven, the characters were amazing too, and the writing was just amazing.
