I really enjoyed this. I think Hopkinson did a great job integrating new folklore into the Sandman universe in a way that is consistent with the tone of the main series. I didn't find this difficult to follow, though I did take breaks to do research on the deities and folklore I was unfamiliar with (pretty much all of it), which was necessary to gain a full appreciation of what was happening. I love books that challenge me in this way, and Hopkinson's books are always a treat in this regard. Given that the Sandman universe has predominantly focused on Western mythology, religions, and folklore, this entry adds a much-needed perspective from marginalized cultures, and I hope to see more of this kind of material integrated into the Sandman world.
