I didnt like this as much as the first book and felt there was no solid plot through book 2. Mostly individual stories which I'm sure will be more relevant later. Some stand out good stories were Calliope, dream of a thousand cats, song of orpheus, a midsummer night's dream, and season of mists prologue. I enjoyed meeting tbe other endless more thoroughly. I also though the depictions of the worlds and hell were investing. I found there was a lot of sexulisation in this book and some rather negative depictions of women and violence on women.
