I’m really glad I took a break from this story, because now as I close in on finishing it I am really enjoying being back in this massive world. I liked each of the various stories in this one particularly the one in regards to Death.

short stories tangentially related to the bigger narrative, with some interesting art styles to set each story apart

This is the first sandman series I've really enjoyed. It is another cycle of short stories, but they are better done and more interesting than previous attempts. The Necropolis section was the least interesting. There are multitudes of stories in this one and the stories lag and grow a bit tiresome in the middle, The beginning and end sections are good though.

Gaiman sure loves stories. The only thing he loved more than stories is telling them. He does go overload in this volume that a chapter had a story within a story within a story. For a series titled Sandman, it has a lot of volumes that have nothing of him. Individually, brilliant and interesting stories on their own. But one doesn’t go to a James Bond movie and not be served Bond on the screen. Bring the dream King back.
