The Dreaming Vol. 3: One Magical Movement by Simon Spurrier
4.0
3.5
The conclusion of the new Sandman trilogy.
Wan is in charge - but this is not for the good. But how do you stop a sentience that can literally forget you exist, and then you just disappear?
Dora finally understands who she is, and she is a force to behold.
My only real issue with the Dora storyline is that it's very repetitive through the trilogy. Like, every time we return to her for the first couple of outings it's like the same mini-story told over and over again? I'm not sure if that makes sense, but, anyway, there is is.
I liked the conclusion of the story (even if it wasn't what I'd guessed might happen earlier) and the denizens realization that they are more than they ever knew they were. It's a bit sad that
I would like to see another story about how Daniel actually is in his role of Dream, because that's one thing I feel like we didn't really get to see.

Overall note - I do believe you could read this trilogy without knowing who all the characters are. The story tells you enough about them that you could 'meet them' for the first time in this set. That said, I wouldn't recommend it. While it introduces the character, it doesn't give them the same breadth that they have received over the years of Sandman, and I feel like you'd miss out in reading this story without having knowledge of the original series.

Daniel is as doomed in love as Morpheus ever was...I would like to see another story about how Daniel actually is in his role of Dream, because that's one thing I feel like we didn't really get to see.
