Dream takes the back seat yet again in his own series. What I like the most about this arc is that one of the main characters is trans, in 1991; be prepared for a ton of transphobia and deadnaming though, which is unfortunately accurate. This was a mostly interesting story and decently paced for another limited location tale. I wish there had been more time with Martin Tenbones.

One of the better in the series so far, this volume focuses on the role of dreams and identity; once again, the endless take on a background role so that we can focus on the problems of the human characters. The introduction by Samuel Delaney is worth reading, despite its length! The diversity of the characters is prominent here--and potentially problematized for readers 20+ years later--but worthy for all of that: there is plenty to talk about! I found I learned too little about the antagonist at the end, but this may perhaps be resolved later in the series. As ever, subtle (and not so subtle) connections to the rest of the series' stories throughout.
Moderate: Sexual content, Violence, and Animal death
