A review by badspringbye
The Sandman Vol. 4: Season of Mists by Neil Gaiman

slow-paced

5.0

the book of destiny has been revealed among other things that will eventually affect another phase of Dream's life decisions reflecting on his past then attempts to mend the unsettled damage that has been overdue for centuries, as this (and he) will play a huge role on spheres beyond his own realm. I have to mention my personal favorite from this volume: the art style!!! the conversation with Lucifer!!! the distinctive attributes of all the characters inside and out!!! love love love it so much what the heck

issue #21
"The Garden of Destiny. You know it if you saw it. After all, you will wander it until you die. Or beyond. For the paths are long, and even in death there is no ending to them."

"We do what we must do, Lucien. Sometimes we can choose the path we follow. Sometimes our choices are made for us. And sometimes we have no choice at all."


issue #23
"And the mortals! I ask you—why? Tell me that—why? Why do they blame me for all their little failings? They use my name as if I spend my entire day sitting on their shoulders, forcing them to commit acts they would otherwise find repulsive. 'The devil made me do it.' I have never made one of them do anything. They live their own tiny lives. I do not live their lives for them. And then they die, and they come here (having transgressed against what they believed to be right), and expect us to fulfill their desire for pain and retribution."

issue #25
"Anyway, I don't feel ill anymore. I feel fine. Dead, but fine."
