This was a much shorter volume than I was expecting and I don’t think the stories each did much for the overall story arc, but it was an enjoyable read. The comic script included at the end was cool but I wasn’t particularly interested in reading it having just read the story of calliope. Maybe I’ll go back and read it one day.

Interesting enough but not as good as The Doll House. Maybe some of the stories make more sense with the next Volume.

This volume contains a series of stand along stories: a writer imprisons a Muse to counter his writer's block, a cat tells his fellow cats of a time that was quite different, Midsummer's Night Dream turns out to be based on real live fairies, and Death pays a visit to someone who cannot die. But best of all is the behind the scenes look at how Mr. Gaiman writes a script for a comic. As usual, great stuff here.

Fajné, stejně jako předtím. Ale pořád bledne ve srovnání s některými ostatními díly.

Chcete vědět, k čemu je dobrý GoodReads?
Všichni mí GR friendi o Krajině Snů napsali, že byla meh. Tak jsem čekala, že bude meh. A jestli si myslíte, že řeknu, že třetí Sandman byl nakonec úplně boží, pletete se. Nebyl. Byl meh, ale já nejsem ani trochu zklamaná (a to bych bez GoodReads stoprocentně byla). :))

3.5/5 Overall but to be fair, each story is unique in this volume. Some were much better than others.
Calliope- 4.5/5
Really unique idea of two authors imprisioning (rather than wooing) a muse for their own success. Calliope's importance will come back (clearly) as Morpheus frees her due to a prior relationship. This one was real, clevel, and moving.
Dream of a Thousand Cats- 3/5
I love cats almost as much as Neil but this just didn't resonate, other than I felt terrible about the drowned cats. Not sure how this fits overall.
A Midsummer Night's Dream- 3/5
To be fair, I'm not a fan of the Shakespeare play and this actually made this make that drama make as much sense as anything could.
Facade- 4/5
Felt terrible for Element Girl. I did kind of wonder why if Ra was going to take mercy on her he couldn't just simply revert her to her old self to have a life, but otherwise a deeply moving story and makes us understand Death even deeper.
The original script posted at the back was informative.
