The Sandman Vol. 7: Brief Lives by Neil Gaiman
5.0
Of all the volumes in this series, this is so far my favourite. With The Endless taking the forefront, their distinct personalities adding to a deep, tragic story. Seriously, this is one of the saddest tales I've read recently. It seems that even gods can feel the need for family, acceptance, and love.
Gaiman's writing flows beautifully, as usual, and the artwork is trademark with its jarring nature and sharp accents. Delirium is one of my favourite of the Endless, and since she is more prominent than in previous books, her character develops in a wonderful way. The same can be said of Destruction and, of course, Dream, whose final story was truly heart-wrenching.
I love these creepy, sad books, and I can't wait to continue on to see where the next chapters lead.
