This was a great volume.

It went into so much depth than I was expecting, about topics such as gender and sexuality identity. I thought it was quite well handled. I mean there were some things such as deadnaming that I definitely cringed at, but it's what a lot of trans people have to go through, which is an awful thought.

Wanda really captured my heart from the start, as well as the little old lady, Maisie. 

I love when Gaiman heavily focuses on the dream aspect of his storytelling in these comics, particularly when the majority of the story is set in Morpheus' Dream Realm. It's such a rich place, and unique each time, depending on the main character we focus on.

I felt such sorrow throughout this. There were so many characters I fell for and wanted to protect with my whole fibre of my being, so when tragedy befell, I was wrecked.
