While I did enjoy this book while I read it, looking back over it to write this review I can't help but feel a little disappointed with what ended up being a rather overly glorified road trip. Of course it apparently sets up loads of interesting things for later, but that is not really important right now.

Starting out with the things I did enjoy about the book. I continue to enjoy the ways in which Gaimen shows Dream (as well as his sister) being silly and/or petty. Everyone (including myself) still loves Dream, of course, but it's nice that he still gets called out on his shit from time to time. I also enjoyed the star soaked night scenes at the very end, and how we got to know a bit more about the less popular Endless.

On the other hand I didn't feel like this volume was nearly as creative or imaginative. There was myth there certainly, so it still felt rather magical, but there was a decided lack of deeply interesting things going on. And while I felt like I should be getting to know Destruction, I was ultimitly left with more questions then answers about his nature as an Endless. Of course maybe I just missed something too.
