Very happy to come back to the mainstream plots surrounding Dream and his family members. Listened to the audio-experience Audible Act 3 which encompasses Volumes 7-8 (Brief Lives and Worlds' End)[1], the Sandman Special #1, and other short stories from Vertigo: Winter's Edge #1 & #3 and Vertigo Preview #1.

Looking forward to more backstories and "day in the lives" for other family members such as Desire, and Despair as we've seen with Dream and Death.

The City of Aurelia is still to be considered one of the greatest cities of the plains.

Cluracan talks as if he is a poet, not sure whether this is by accident or design as the fair folk are known to be voluble and effusive. His tale is exciting and the art is much nicer than the previous story.

por ter uma relação com as cidades invisíveis (pelo menos no meu imaginário, e como foi publicado em 1972...), acho que me cativou bastante. cluracan conta uma história bem eletrizante, que não agrada muito os convivas da estalagem. ele tem a missão de ir até a cidade de Aurélia e resolver tretas por lá.

Zu viel Macht in einer Position, keine Trennung von Staat und Kirche, blabla. Cluracans Erzählung ist leider genau so alt wie der untote Carnifex in eben dieser. Es fehlt ein spezieller Twist, den ganz sicher auch (noch?) nicht die Rahmenhandlung gibt.

Back to Sandman after an involuntary pause and I must have missed it. But it also seems that I might like the short tales of this "World's End Arc". This issue really reminded me of the world of The Witcher.

Achei essa edição a mais fraca desse arco na Taverna do Fim do Mundo. Para mim, a história foi um pouco confusa e entediante, e não me agradou.

I didn’t care for this. One bit. But I would love to see a spin off run abt Faerie.
