Onlyfiction reviewed The Sandman Vol. 2 by Neil Gaiman
I liked it better than the first volume.
4 stars
The King of Dreams, the very embodiment of Dream, Morpheus, is back in business. As of right now, he has all his equipment back and all his resources at his disposal. It’s good that he does, since the palace staff, a terrible nightmare, and Fiddler’s Green have disappeared. Obviously, the Dream Lord cannot let the foursome roam free in the human world, so he makes plans to retrieve them.
Although The Sandman has less screen time this time, I have most enjoyed the intrigue of the main story and the thrilling insights into Morpheus’ past.
This 2nd volume follows Rose Walker’s quest to reunite with her estranged little brother, as well as a relationship with a surprise family member. Remember Felicity Kinkaid, the girl who got pregnant and gave birth while Morpheus was imprisoned for 70 years? It turns out the kid was Rose’s mother!

Neil Gaiman writes short stories about cursed love affairs and millennial dates between unlikely friends.
Beware, because Dream is angry, and this is not for the faint of heart.
Now if only I could adjust to the inconsistent illustration style...
