4.0

When I was only about 20 pages into this massive book, I looked up and said, "God, Neil Gaiman really is a master, isn't he?" The second volume of The Absolute Sandman is another amazing example of why I love Neil Gaiman's work so much. I was completely pulled into the gorgeous illustrations and the compelling stories. In particular, Season of Mists is absolutely magical. I loved every second of that particular story arc. As with the first volume, I did take off a star for a section that I found difficult to get into, and that was the Fables and Reflections section. I like the larger story arcs so much better, and I just found all of these segments a bit difficult to get into. They were still intriguing and good stand-alones, but I just prefer the larger stories. Nevertheless, I am delighted that this beautiful book is in my library.
