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.

Oh this is where the series starts to pick up from what reads as single issues to more of it's own series.

I forgot how good this second volume. The story of the Dream King slowly picks up pace as he is looking for his escaped nightmares that have left the dreaming and hiding on the mortal realm which in turn leads him to finding out that there is a dream vortex that may disrupt everything just as he's getting it all back...
