  Que este libro empezara con la historia de Nada fue mucho fan service para mí. Me gusta cómo se sigue desarrollando el funcionamiento del mundo de los Sueños. Esta historia pasa el foco de cómo "funciona" Sandman a cómo funciona su reino, el Sueño. El enlace con Unity es sublime y sí me parece que el estilo del dibujante de este tomo es más acorde a su historia- todos punkies. Me encanta la capacidad de Gaiman de pensar los detalles mundanos y lógicos de sus realidades ficcionales, para mí un ejemplo de esto son los temas del congreso de cereales como las religiones o "make them pay".
  Sin embargo hay que admitir que se le ve la hilacha violín de 4 cuerdas a Gaiman en este. Con el diario del Lunes todo se ve muy claro :/

In this continuation of the series, we really get to see Morpheus reassume his position of power after being stuck in confinement in Volume 1, which I enjoyed. In Volume 2, we get to focus on the different manifestations of Morpheus' power come to life as he deals with them, and while some had me horrified (looking at you, Mr. Corinthian chapter with the convention), I liked the one section with the Rose being the vortex and Morpheus facing off with her in the Dream Realm. This volume kept me excited and turning pages as fast as I could read them, and I can't wait to meet more Endless siblings in Volume Three, because Morpheus' sister, Death seems very interesting. 

I would definitely recommend this if you like a bit darker fantasy, as well as graphic novels, which until this year I didn't realize that I would enjoy them as much as I do, which I was happily surprised.
