The interludes that focus on the broader world still aren’t my favorite, as interesting as insightful as they, but the crux of the story with Dream and the Endless is really excellent stuff. I’ve experienced this story already in the audio dramatization (which I like a lot), but seeing it brought to life on the page is stunning. Jones’ art is a special standout, with spreads and details that give the pages a rich, classical style that I absolutely adore. 

Amazing stuff—even the side-stories, which can feel frivolous in the moment, enrich the world so much that I can’t help but be impressed by it all.
