Aaahhh...the joy of finishing a book in a day.
Okay, that's probably not a great review, but definitely says something about the book, doesn't it? To be honest, I did read the last 150 or so pages of the book just so that I can say that I finished it a day, but still.
Not as good as the first three Mistborn books, but with so many things yet to come, so many plot lines still to unfold, I think the next one will be more exciting.
Also, I like the way how Sanderson keeps giving references to the first three books. Kind of feels awesome to get those references.

Neil Gaiman continues to amaze me as he weave magic of words and impress upon how dreams are made up of real stuff.
Book three is mostly about Dream, as in he is actually present in most of the stories and is not just in the background. Him and Delirium went on a journey and as you go along with them you get invested in it yourself. Chapters with Delirium in it were hilarious and exceptionally delightful, which might be a bit ironic, given that she use to be Delight and then change forced her to be Delirium. More than anything, it was the way those two endless interacted with the physical world which made it pure delight. And the Raven was just added to the comedy of situation. Destiny was of course as stoic as ever.
The chemistry between Delirium and Dream was worth every page they were in together. It is just amazing, even better than the one between Death and Dream. Death tend to big sister Dream often, and when you learn the kind of uuummmm...I don't know, person?, when you learn the kind of person that Dream is it makes perfect sense for Death to be so, which honestly is quite nice. With Delirium though, it is quite the opposite. Dream has to act as big and caring brother and after some initial hiccups he does prove to be a great brother!
Overall, just another fantastic collection!

The Absolute Sandman, Volume Two

The stories in the second volume took a slightly different approach compared to first one. At least in the first half, when Dream is mostly in the background and different stories evolve with his minimal input. The second half focuses on some of the adventures or rather quests of Dream and it is all the more fun for that.
The dynamics between Dream and Death continues to be amazing. And every time Death shows up in the story trust it to become interesting, not that it is dull at any moment anyway!
