This was a fun installment in the Sandman series. I skipped most of the introduction though. It was super pretentious and full of itself and it made me want to put down the whole series.

Plot is somewhat diverting and sets direction similar to vol1. But I still find the writers and artists lack ability with writing engaging  female characters. Too often the male gaze dominates.
