This one had some pretty good storylines that build up nicely towards the grand finale.

In its final volume, the stories revolving around Lucifer finally come to their climax. As the end gets nearer, the parallels to The Sandman become more and more obvious. Like in Sandman, many, many realms and beings are visited, and certain transfers happen. Also like in Sandman, Lucifer is not really so much of a protagonist, but more of a shaper – only rarely is he actually the focus of a storyline. He's a really odd character, very elusive, very cunning, but not really likeable at all. In my opinion, Lucifer is more worth reading for all the ideas that hide behind the stories...

A wonderful collection of short stories that are only loosely connected to the overall narrative, but give a lot of depth to it.

This is one of my favorite volumes in the series – in it, Dream and Delirium go on a journey to find their long-lost brother...

While the previous volume was one of my favorites, this is probably my least favorite of the series. It just seems way too random, and the things that contribute to the overall storyline are too few and far between... I get the general idea of this volume, but I still didn't enjoy most of it very much.

A great ending for a great series. Well worth re-reading many times, as there's so much depth in this.

Another nice little story that brings us closer to Death... :D

Wow, this is trippy even by Sandman standards! I wonder why it took me so long to finally get around to reading it. A beautiful story, told in even more beautiful art.

Finally! I don't know why it took me so long to finish this book* because it is brilliant. I've already seen the first two seasons of the show and I'm a huge fan of it. Naturally, I was curious enough to check out the material it is based on, and I wasn't disappointed. This book covers Holden & Miller's perpectives of what happens in the first two seasons. I'm very curious to find out what the next book will be like. 

* (I do actually: I read to much at work to read a lot at home).

Well that was a nice excursion into Bobbie's family, but still not too convinced by these novellas
