“Everybody has a secret world inside of them. I mean everybody. All of the people in the whole world, I mean everybody — no matter how dull and boring they are on the outside. Inside them they've all got unimaginable, magnificent, wonderful, stupid, amazing worlds... Not just one world. Hundreds of them. Thousands, maybe.”

This is a 3.5 from me.
This one didn't grab me as much as some of the other Sandman volumes. I liked the character of Wanda. And I found some of Barbie's dreamworld (oh that just sounds wrong!) to be intriguing. That world reminded me a bit of Bone. (Although it may well be the other way around, as Bone didn't start publishing until 1991, around the same time as these issues originally began publishing.)
And I can see that there are some amazing visuals, especially in those opening few pages. (Delany comments on that in his intro to this volume - spoiler heavy, read after finishing!) The writing is stronger and less predictable than the story in volume 4.
And yet, I don't know, it didn't grab me the same way. Oh well.

This series gets creepier and more delicous with every book.
Can't wait for Sandman Act III to be released on Audible.

It's been so long since I read the last one, I'm a bit confused on the characters referenced in this one.
Aside from that, this is as stellar as the rest!
