The Sandman: Act II é o segundo audiolivro adaptação da série de comics The Sandman. Essa obra é na verdade uma coletânea de contos interconectados pelo personagem Sandman, ou Morpheus. Assim como toda coleção de contos algumas histórias são melhores que outras. Contudo a qualidade da produção do audiolivro eleva até mesmo as histórias menos interessantes com um elenco de ótimos narradores, com destaque para James McAvoy como Morpheus, e uma trilha sonora fantástica. Minha impressão é que a produção do Act II está ainda melhor do que o Act I. Os três contos que mais marcaram para mim foram: Season of Mist-chapter 4, a storyline que se passou em um colégio interno com representação pesada de bullying e a tentativa de um garoto de sobreviver; Fables & Reflections, Distant Mirrors – Thermidor, a história sobre o resgate da cabeça de Orpheus, filho de Morpheus, por Johanne Constantine durante a Revolução Francesa, com uma cena marcante nas catacumbas; Fables & Reflections, Distant Mirrors – August, a história sobre o imperador romano Augustus Caesar. Com um passado traumático de estupro, o imperador, acompanhado de um servo com quem tem uma longa conversa, se disfarça de mendigo nas ruas da cidade. O porque disso fica para a compreensão do leitor.
No geral a experiência da obra foi positiva. Apesar da maioria das histórias não ser estelar, os contos de destaque e a qualidade do audiolivro elevaram a experiência de leitura. Os únicos pontos baixos são alguns personagens que preferia que fossem cortados do livro, destaque para Cain que é odioso. Dou 4.25 estrelas.

I will forever be in awe of how masterfully these stories were taken into audio form. I first knew them as comics and they're still incredibly layered wonderfully spun stories.

Audio book only - a dramatized version of 21 comics of The Sandman, roughly 30 mins each.
STELLAR cast and incredible storytelling. I LOVED hearing the voices of David Tennant and John Lithgow which were added for Act II. James McAvoy continues to amaze as Morpheus.
Trigger warnings for: rape, child abuse, murder, pretty much any and all violence, substances
I am past the point in my life where I write long reviews (if I write reviews at all) but this is totally worth your time if you are a Neil Gaiman fan.

The text is supportive of the LGBTQ+ - community. Still, those topics are sometimes addressed in a manner, that might hit "too close to home".johnawickline's review against another edition
