Loved this volume and loved getting to know Delirium more. The ending has me so keen for the next volume.

Favorite arc so far of the whole Sandman Universe. Beautiful artwork and great storytelling, still relevant to this day.

By far my favorite of the series so far, and I'm loving each a little bit more. I've been dying to get to know Delirium and I fell in love with her in this collection. Looking forward to continuing on!

Of all the volumes in this series, this is so far my favourite. With The Endless taking the forefront, their distinct personalities adding to a deep, tragic story. Seriously, this is one of the saddest tales I've read recently. It seems that even gods can feel the need for family, acceptance, and love.

Gaiman's writing flows beautifully, as usual, and the artwork is trademark with its jarring nature and sharp accents. Delirium is one of my favourite of the Endless, and since she is more prominent than in previous books, her character develops in a wonderful way. The same can be said of Destruction and, of course, Dream, whose final story was truly heart-wrenching.

I love these creepy, sad books, and I can't wait to continue on to see where the next chapters lead.
