dark mysterious relaxing tense fast-paced

3.5

I still find it interesting to compare the original to the Netflix series, but mind the content warnings. Overall, I would say that the Netflix series is the improved version of this story, as more thought was put into it and the story got more room to breathe.

I definitely liked this volume more than the first one. The plot was more straight forward, and the characters felt much better developed. That said, I really don't care for the art style. There's a part of me that wonders why it's not simply a novel, with the amount of text Gaiman puts in every panel. Still, I'm enjoying the world, so I'll probably continue the series, although certainly not in any rush.
