Issue #2: Imperfect Hosts
Meeting Cain & Abel, seeing comic Gregory, (forgot to mention in my last diary) Dream's hunger, his face when he sees the destroyed palace, John Dee, Lucien, the Fates... It must have been so hard for Morpheus coming back to his realm and seeing what’s left of it after his century-long imprisonment.
Loved this chapter and can’t wait to read the rest!!

The one was a little less entertaining than the preceding; however, it is still interesting enough.

This might be a strange reason to give 2 stars, but the constant uhs and umms are annoying, and for me it tore me away from the story. I found myself trying to skip those parts. "You, UH, P-Promise it isn't going to, HMMM, explode?" -- I'm not a fan of this kind of writing to show a character is nervous, shaky, inarticulate, or whatever else the author could be trying to convey, but I get frustrated every time I have to read something like this. In prose I prefer "he said shakily", or "he nervously said", etc.
There are also other parts I found confusing:
Am I supposed to know who Diana, Mary, Florence and candy are? Is it a dated reference? Is it a set up for later?
*edit* I found this. The names are a mix of references. From Irish, Greek, and Roman mythology. And also one that is a reference to the Supremes R&B group.
I feel like what is being done here is the three witches are being clever and trying to confuse dream, but all that is happening is that the reader--in my case--feels like they are missing something unless they are steeped in multiple mythologies and cultural references.
Overall I'm still not really that invested in the story. I usually add and review these as the volumed collections, but after reading the first two issues my interest is going down, rather than up, so I decided to review them individually in case I don't make it through the whole first volume.
