A Game of You (The Sandman #5) 
This is a great volume focused less on Dream/Morpheus himself than on dream worlds populated by Narnia-like and stuffed animal characters from Barbie's youth, "morphed" into somewhat scarier beings, this being Gaiman, and the dreams of her friends Wanda, a drag Queen, a lesbian couple, a witch named Thessaly, a "street" person who hates dogs, and a scary monster named Cuckoo and there's a couple gruesome moments in it that just may stay with you but what also may stay with you is the endorsement
Impressed once again! I have so much love for this series. Full review to come...

Amazing from start to finish. Perfect pacing, excellent story, interesting topics, and no time wasted. Amazing exposition and all; best story arc so far.
"It's like we fell down the rabbit hole, woke up in... I don't know. Stephen King's basement..." (Wanda to George's head) (91) I love how Gaiman brings back former characters, and is able to intertwine them all. The overarching story has also moved along, ever so slightly. The last three volumes of The Sandman have completely outdone what came before. I thought there was a good story in the first two volumes, but it was hard to find what really made me keep reading. I'm glad I kept reading
I finally bought the issue I forgot on the plane so I could actually finish it. Ive rated all the previous Sandman books 5 stars but I will have to deduct a couple for this one. Spoilers not for the plot but for a specific issue I had with a character.Someone told me a while ago he was lukewarm about NG because some of his stuff was a bit TERFy. I had not encountered such an opinion in his works before, and seeing how supportive he is of trans people today on Twitter I couldnt really think that
Ugghhh. I have to give this back to the library, so I should probably say something about it. I enjoyed the beginning, and some of the fantasy quest in the middle was okay. Not that great. But most of the story is set up to point out all the ways that the transfeminine character, Wanda, is "not really a woman," not in all the ways that matter to the story.(view spoiler)[Thessaly, Foxglove, and Hazel enter the fantasy world/Barbie's dream by taking the "moon's road", which requires menstrual

A Game of You, the 5th volume in the Sandman series, is my favorite so far. One thing I've noticed Gaiman is very good at is picking up little threads he dropped in previous stories and building on them (this was one of my favorite things about Buffy; there's nothing more rewarding for a viewer/reader than a story that doesn't forget its past). The most notable one that gets picked up in this volume is the main character, Barbie, who was a minor character in The Doll's House. In that volume, weThis is a great volume focused less on Dream/Morpheus himself than on dream worlds populated by Narnia-like and stuffed animal characters from Barbie's youth, "morphed" into somewhat scarier beings, this being Gaiman, and the dreams of her friends Wanda, a drag Queen, a lesbian couple, a witch named Thessaly, a "street" person who hates dogs, and a scary monster named Cuckoo and there's a couple gruesome moments in it that just may stay with you but what also may stay with you is the endorsement
