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.

This started out strong, introduced me to new faces and ideas and then got muddled by the end. I liked it for what it was and less for what it did.
