Review - The Doll's House (The Sandman)

[wilderthan]

I really liked The Doll's House. It doesn't really seem that much more cohesive than the first story, in one sense -- there are digressions, like the story of Dream and Nada, and then later the man who can't die, but I'm sort of used to that now and I'm into the swing of it. In general it's easy to follow, although the pages where I had to turn the book to read the speech were a little irritating. The art is good, now that I'm used to it.

I like the fact that a seemingly incidental character from the first volume turned out to be important -- Unity Kincaid. Of course Gaiman doesn't do anything without reason... Rose was okay to follow, as a character; a nice character design and nothing too fantastical about her as a person, even if she turns out to be really important.

I'm really enjoying this series, I'm glad I own all the way up to The Wake so I can just keep on reading...
