Dare I say this is my favorite in the series thus far? I loved it!!! This is what I expected this series to be before I had started reading them. I wish Delirium was used more in these stories because she is wonderful, quite a bit sad, but such a great character! I loved the choice Gaiman made to make her so intuitive with the other characters ideas and concepts despite how out-of-it she is portrayed normally. I also loved Destruction! I can't say much without spoiling it, but the choice he made and how he describes it is phenomenal! I wish we could see more of him, but I think that will be highly unlikely.

This one stood out from the others in that we really got to see more of the personalities of the Endless. Which is such a fascinating albeit dysfunctional family. The conceptual ideas that these almost god-like beings portray are what really drives this series. We even saw more of Dream's personality develop, which is the character we know most about already.

I'd love to say so much more about this volume, but I just can't do it without spoiling things! So instead I'll just vaguely talk about the messages this book has. The idea that sometimes it is not about the destination or even the journey, but who you are with that matters. The idea that destiny is not set in stone, you can change even if it is not the path you were meant to go on. (Everyone is a two-sided coin) And sometimes you have make sacrifices to make the other people in your life happy, even if it has adverse effects on you personally.

I'm so excited to move on with the series, and so sad that there are only 3 volumes left!
