Vale, es un libro para digerir con la calma, jajaja. La parte del Infierno es una maravilla, me ha gustado mucho recorrer cada círculo. Por otra parte, las reflexiones filosóficas que se van debatiendo me han parecido muy interesantes. No obstante, durante todo el libro se hacen referencias constantes a personas que ni puta idea de quienes eran. Eso me sacaba de la historia y me hacía la lectura mucho más pesada, la verdad. Pero bueno, no ha estado mal, lo único es que al no conocer el contexto histórico en el que se enmarca la obra siento que me he perdido cosas.

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.
