A pause before the two book finale of the series. Envelops us in what makes this series so great: the stories. And told in the classic "travellers stuck together telling tales to amuse each other" format. But also setting up the next and final part of the bigger story.
slow-paced

 I was so hoping that because this doesn’t feature the Endless as the main characters, this would provide a needed palette cleanser… but nope, still as boring as ever. 

Definitely one of the best, one of the roundest volumes; it is a set of six stories told at an inn, while the universe goes through a reality storm. And I don't think I can tell a lot more about the reality storm without spoilers, but definitely, the stories are worth their salt; Gaiman shows here that he's an amazing story teller, and he knows how to dive into fantasy amazingly well. As the introduction said, the best part about it is that he doesn't make it more complicated, more complex than it should be; the story are told in a simple manner while retaining depth and meaning.

A really solid volume. The short story-style volumes have been my least favorite in the series, but I actually liked most of these stories, and as other readers have noted, the ending is great.
