I don't know man, I jut can't get into this series. Maybe I just don't *get it*.
Mixed feelings about this one. The premise is great-- Lucifer decides he is tired of ruling the underworld and leaves the key to Hell to the Sandman. Disappointingly, not much of interest happens after that, just a lot of chapters detailing why various groups of beings want Hell for themselves and Morpheus is mostly passive in how he handles things. I would have liked to see what was happening outside in the world with all the dead coming back and the demons freed. I did like the chapter about the schoolboy who befriends a ghost.
My personal favorite volume (thus far) of this series, and it's becoming clear exactly why it's so renowned and beloved. One of the best things about this story is that you can finish one volume, go read five other books, and then come back to the next volume and pick up right where you left off without issue. It's not entirely clear whether this is a result of the writing itself (storylines do tend to tie up nicely at the end of each volume) or because the characters are just so memorable.
For example, I currently have a huge shelf of books to read, but I feel most compelled to read the next volume of Preacher before I forget what happened in the first volume. No such fear with Sandman - I feel like I could put this series down for a year and then pick up book six and be fine.
