I don't know if it's the story or if it's just my lack of experience reading comic books but I kind of struggle to link all the stories.
Every storyline separately is great (dark as FUCK but I truly looove that), but reading it kinda feels like there is nothing connecting them (even though there is, but very small), like we're just following random people in Dream's storyline.
Again, I think it's more my fault. I am very new to the comic book/graphic novel genre and I don't really know the codes and the way stories work in them... I'm kind of interested to see what I would think re-reading this series in a couple of years.

Obviously can't help but compare with the Netflix adaptation - noting and appreciating the differences.  I still love both the original content and the adaptation
(casting Stephen Fry as Fiddler's Green is just <em>chef's kiss</em>, also Vivienne Acheampong is fantastic as Lucienne / Lucien).

Thought it was interesting that I found the Hector/Lyta storyline actually made more sense in the Netflix adaptation.
