I read this in school in 2019/2020 and didn’t understand it much. Rereading it in 2022 when I actually understand the Greek and Roman mythology references made this a fun read! It’s an incredibly interesting take on both heaven and hell, I’d definitely recommend it to someone trying to learn more about the renaissance era!

It didn’t have the ‘wow’ factor of a five star book, but it was a good mind cleanse after reading the shit show that was ‘Earthlings’ a couple days ago.
