"Another awesome volume. I actually took this library book to Burning Man and enjoyed reading it on the playa. I hope the library isn't too upset about all the dust."

""Season of Mists" and "A Game of You" are excellent.

Stunning series hitting its stride, with one-off issues tearing through history and literature with mad abandon and surprising confidence."

"Any awkwardness from the initial issues of volume one is long gone in volume two. Gaiman and company weave some marvelous stories: the amazing "Season of Mists" and the fantastical "A Game of You," not to mention the single-issue tales. As to be expected from an Absolute edition, the book is goregeous, with plenty of supplemental material to keep you reading after the comic ends."

"Volume 2 of The Absolute Sandman collects Season of Mists, A Game of You, and Fables and Reflections. I would have enjoyed this volume for Season of Mists alone. Finally, the reader is introduced to the rest of the Endless. It was also fun to watch the interaction between Morpheus and Death, as always.

A Game of You focuses on Barbie, a briefly mentioned character from The Doll's House. I did like the nods towards The Chronicles of Narnia and other children's fantasy books, but I couldn't help but feel that A Game of You was a nice diversion.

This is also true for Fables and Reflections. As with Dream Country, I just don't dig the vignettes and world-building but not story-advancing issues as much. That said, some of the diversions were worthwhile, especially the issue in which Cain and Abel tell stories.

I'm still enjoying my foray through the Sandman series. My only complaint about this volume is that many of my questions haven't been answered and these volumes only thickened the plot a bit."
