![]() ![]() I found that even though Dream didn't appear much in this volume (and I love dream he was my favorite character) that this was one of my favorite volumes in the entire Sandman Chronicles. ![]() The end of the story leaves one with such a good feeling because it is somewhat of an epiphany, but not one of those brief, sudden, realisations - more a realisation that is complex and deep, one that has been building momentum for a long time and finally comes together in the end. The mystery builds wonderfully and the intricate plot develops so gently and subtly up to its conclusion, which is beautiful and perfect. ![]() But the story was so interesting - quietly so - you know, in unobvious way. At first I didn't like it so much, there was a subtle menace and darkness and maybe I'm just a sissy but too much of that kind of thing wears me down. Gaiman does excellent work with these characters, as he explores them in depth and they each develop as the plot progresses. ![]() There are also the residents in Barbara's block of flats: The feisty Wanda, a woman who was born in a man's body Thessaly, a superior-acting witch sensitive Hazel and tough Foxglove (who are a couple) creepy George and the listless Barbara. There are the inhabitants of Barbara's dream world who are suitably comical, noble and mischievous. In A GAME OF YOU the focus shifts from the Sandman to woman named Barbara, who gets drawn back into a world which she, as a child, had frequented. ![]()
