Excellent, just as all of Gaiman’s other books are. I loved seeing this vignette of death.

robotswithpersonality's review against another edition

Beautiful, a fitting amount of dark and sad. I feel like it says something about Gaiman that his Death is more approachable than his Dream. Or maybe it's just a reflection of humanity's hope to greet Death as a friend. The art gallery at the end is stunning, those artists who chose to keep her slight smile worked best for me. The sex ed mini comic is such an amazing thing to see included; the rep and the topics covered: ❤️.

More lovely stories from the Sandman world, except this time, following his sister Death.

I love the way Gaiman writes this character, and the way that so much 'difficult' material comes across so positively in Death's reaction to it.
