DELIRIUM!!!!!!!!! I LOVE DELIRIUM!!! And this book slaps! And it also includes one of my favorite quotes in Sandman, "[Death] told me that everyone can know everything Destiny knows. And more than that. She said we all not only could know everything We do. We just tell ourselves we don't to make it all bearable."

Perhaps the best storyline of the entire series.
There's something heartbreaking about the scene where Delight becomes Delirium. The pairing of Dream and Delirium works so well. The journey to find their lost brother Destruction, is the emotional linchpin of the entire series. Poetic without being pretentious, mythic without losing its soul, and sad without losing hope. Change, grief, or the pain of letting go has never been tackled quite so beautifully.

I was slightly disappointed when I finished #4 [b:Season of Mists|25101|Season of Mists (The Sandman, #4)|Neil Gaiman|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1327937313l/25101._SY75_.jpg|25854]. Beautiful illustrations and a lyrical language couldn't hide the shallow story. Nevertheless I decided to give the series another try, looked around for the most popular part and found Brief Lives.
In short words, Morpheus and Delirium go on a journey to look for their lost brother Destruction. Delirium is fantastic in the way how she talks and behaves. Sometimes she acts like a child; suddenly the fury of a goddess breaks through only to leave behind a deeply hurt and misunderstood being.
I loved how the Endless bring madness and chaos into the world. They cause strong and irrational emotions that can be hard to understand for others but they make us human. There is no hope without despair, no life without death, no new without destruction.
The illustrations couldn't completely convince me. I liked the different styles in #4 containing some outstanding pictures much more. However, the strong story makes you forget the supporting art, which is by no means bad, and I rather have it this way than the other way round.
Highly recommended. You can read it as stand-alone novel, no previous knowledge is required.

اینکه بیشتر راجع به خودشون و شخصیتشون داریم میفهمیم رو دوست داشتم.
اودیوبوک دومی اینا رو نداشت دیگه، امیدوارم بعدی داشته باشدشون. هنوز سومی رو شروع نکردم گوش دادن ولی گوش دادن به دلیریوم و اینا باید جذاب باشه.

این والیوم رو از بقیه بیشتر دوست داشتم. خیلی بیشتر. دقیقا مطمئن نیستم چرا..
میدونم که سیستم امتیازدهی برای اینه که دیگه لازم نباشه کسی بیاد ریویو رو برای گفتن این که خوشش اومده یا نیومده هدر بده. اما حس کردم لازمه بگم. پس گفتم. ببخشید.

a truly amazing series. a must read for anyone who thinks they would never enjoy reading a comic book
I find each passing Sandman issue to be, well, excellent. This one was quite good, too. Maybe not as exciting as some of the others, but important. It's a comic of philosophical musings and follows Delirium, a character that I quite like a lot, who is in search of her long lost brother, Destruction, with the help of Dream. It's a road narrative of the series, travelling and searching for things there or maybe not there. Brief Lives maybe connects some of the points of the other books together and bridges the gap to the latter parts of the series to come, we shall see. Still, I found it to be a solid read and quick too. It's engaging to be perfectly frank and flows well with the rest. I can't wait to see what comes next.
