The Sandman Vol. 2: The Doll's House by Neil Gaiman
4.0
Whooooaaaa…
This was not how I was expecting it to go. Also: Not sure how I expected it to go.
I didn't realize that, at least this early on, Gaiman et al. parcels out the Endless like rare, Advent-calendar treats. "Here, you can have Dream…and a glimpse of Death, and just a snippet of Desire, and frame of Destruction. I'll reference Destiny and Delirium. Now shush. Keep reading."
I have seen Delirium in an errant flip through one of the collections (a friend of mine had a copy in high school), and I'm looking forward to finding out who she is.
Rose Walker's story is a very interesting one. Missing kids always make me nervous, so Jed's subplot had me extremely anxious. The Cereal Convention is supremely creepy. That earned a very enthusiastic, "NO THANK YOU" from me (one of my NOS4ATU "NO THANK YOU"s, so, it's like I'm enjoying this thing, but it's really f&*$%#g awful)
I appreciated learning more about Unity, and
Very excited to see what happens next.

THAT DESIRE IS MEDDLING IN STUFF!!! I hate stories that incorporate a raped "coma" victim…Kill Bill made me want to punch a wall. So the answers given in the final pages of this collection are extremely interesting.Very excited to see what happens next.
