"This volume of Sandman anthologies wins for best cover. I kinda just want to look at the cover all the time. The story this time around is a collection of stories from various travelers who have found their way to the tavern at the worlds' end--- and yes that apostrophe is placed correctly. It's one of those situations where the plot is being moved forward in a circuitous path via an assemblage of other people's seemingly unrelated stories.
Dun-dun-dunnnn! Unanswered questions: Will we ever know what happens to the people who end their stay at the tavern by traveling to world other than their own? And whose funeral in the sky was that?"
"I thought the frame of the inn at the end of worlds was a clever take-off on the Canterbury Tales, and I really liked how the story wrapped up at the end with some of the travelers staying behind and the parade of the Endless marching through the sky. Some of the actual tales along the way were better than others, and the idea of "women's stories" as pathetic gripes about life was off-putting; however, the overall effect of the story has its merits. On to number 9."
"I like Neil Gaiman's short story collections more than anyone else's, but this was a fairly tedious affair. The stories range in quality, but none of them hit the heights that his previous stand-alones have, and I found the first short story snippet to be extraordinarily broad, leaving me with no desire to continue forward aside from the obligation to finish the series. Not a great sign, when you're nearing the finish line! Especially not after Vol. 7's meandering plot.
This volume contains some of the loveliest art the series has ever seen (that Leviathan splash page is inteeeeense), and the sequence on the last few pages is suitably epic and foreboding, but that's all there is to take away. This volume is a stumbling block and, oddly enough, is entirely skippable in the larger storyline. The one thing we find out about Morpheus and Ongoing Events is undoubtedly going to be retold to us in later volumes.
On a side note: I do like the growing mentions of the Endless managing the abstracts of life on other planets. I love the context that they deal with the dramas of all life EVER, not just ours. (Although, in a somewhat Doctor Who-ish fashion, maybe the fact that they seem to spend so much time with Earth will become a plot point?)"
