teresatumminello 's review for:
The Sandman Vol. 7: Brief Lives
by Neil Gaiman
Though this volume starts and ends with a "modern" take on the Orpheus myth, it mostly deals with the Endless siblings. The rendering of Delirium is sometimes sad but mostly hilarious, and though 'change' has not been kind to her (she was once Delight), she's the impetus for a journey to find Destruction, the most "human" of the siblings.
I think I enjoyed the side-stories (the consequences of their trip) more than the interaction of the siblings themselves, though those latter scenes are the most profound. I also learned of a mythological character, new to me: Étaín. I really should brush up on my Irish mythology one of these days.
