Lush and wonderful to read, though the pacing was a little off at the end - looking forward to reading the following volumes already.

Great art (gritty and colorful) and characters I'm starting to like. The plot was sometimes confusing, and I didn't like the narration bubbles, but I think things will build up in the next volumes.

I am knocked out, this was wild, magical, and amazing, the art was gorgeous and I loved all the references to the original Sandman series - and to other well-known stories, too. I’m such a sucker for easter eggs. I also loved the diversity of the new characters showing up. To be honest, reading this book made me squeel with joy and delightful horror more than once! The story grew quite complex in a way that felt very true to this universe, and not too much. Now I can’t wait to read more!

I liked this collection more than the The Dreaming Vol 1, mostly because this was new characters and the original characters had limited screen time allowing the story to flow. The use of the Caribbean gods that are stuck in the Dreaming due to the rifts allowed for great storytelling. The book wasn’t weighted down with trying to fit every Sandman universe supporting character in the story and showed how the disrupting to Dream’s realm causes havoc in the waking one. I finished it wanting to read more immediately in this setting.
