Tendrá que ser el único volúmen de Sandman que no me haya gustado nada, pero es que ninguna de las historias me llamaba el interés (y me quedé dormida intentando leer en más de una ocasión)
Lo que sí me genera pánico miedo temor es el evento del final y lo poquísimo que sé avecina para el final

As Stephen King mentions in the intro, think Canterbury Tales with a more twisted sense of fantasy.
To me, Sandman is at its best with an overarching tale, so the story within a story approach wasn't as engaging this time. The ending salvaged and otherwise scattered collection.

5 Stars
Short stories within a tale, while sitting at the Inn at the End of the World, in front of a fire. It's storming outside; are those just worlds colliding or something more.
You can read this as a standalone.

Another collection of stories but with a novel through line. None stand out to me as particularly great but I enjoy The Golden Boy story. A weird little collection that leads in into the final set of stories.
I don't know how to say how much I loved this volume. It is easily the best of those I've read. I went into this not expecting it to top Fables and Reflections for me but I think the framing device of all these one shot stories being tales told in an inn at the end of the world(s) just makes each tale so much better. I especially enjoyed the Necropolis Letharge story, and honestly would love to read more about that world. I also liked Hob's appearance and thought it was cool that there's this group of immortals that look out for eachother. The others were also fantastic, with perhaps the only one I am iffy about being A Tale of Two Cities, but I did enjoy it regardless. I think the crowning achievement of this volume however is absolutely the artwork, it is definitely my favourite in any volume and I wish I possessed one-percent of the talent that the artists do. 5/5 easy

I'm a basic bitch. I see a Sandman comic that depicts the vast array of complex stories in the universe and makes you feel safe from the storm of it all, I give it 5 stars.
