The Sandman Vol. 1: Preludes & Nocturnes by Neil Gaiman

December 30, 2022 by wicherwill Leave a Comment

I had this grand plan to breeze through all of these on a weekend, since once the first two come off of hold the rest of them are readily available at my library. Foolish me, I should have realized that these are substantial length novels that would take a substantial amount of time to complete. Fun side bar, I also discovered that I checked a number of these out from the NYPL back in 2016? But I feel like I’d remember if I’d actually read […]

Mid-trilogy shift from Snarky Magical Adventure to a Demon Endless Philosophy

Quicksilver Court by Melissa Caruso

December 17, 2022 by CoffeeShopReader Leave a Comment

Quicksilver Court is an interesting middle installment; there’s a lot of set up for future things and not much is resolved. What’s interesting is that a key question from the first book is answered about halfway through; usually you have to wait until book 3 for that. What happens here though is that that reveal sets up both a good bit of probably character development (or at least soul searching) as well as the final major plot conflict. Ryx, Severin, and the rest of the […]

Why Have I Waited So Long to Read This?

Sandman: Preludes and Nocturnes Volume I by Neil Gaiman

December 6, 2022 by Ale 1 Comment

Since the show came out on Netflix, about six different people have asked me if I’m watching “Sandman,” since they know I’m a huge Gaiman fanatic. But I have not. Mostly because I don’t have Netflix, but also because I’ve never read the source material, and I’m a stickler for reading the book before seeing the media. So I finally started Sandman. Why did I wait so long???? My guess, personally, is being a little afraid of the Graphic Novel. It’s an irrational fear, and when […]

A candy colored clown they call the sandman

Preludes and Nocturnes (The Sandman #1) by Neil Gaiman

August 28, 2022 by Bea Pants Leave a Comment

  I’ve actually read Preludes and Nocturnes multiple times since I was a wee 90s teen but I decided to give it a reread since the Netflix series dropped. I’ve been waiting for an onscreen version of Sandman for actual decades so a little refresh was in order so I could pick all the nits in the series. I have to say overall it does a great job of bringing Morphus and The Dreaming to life in a way that would not have been possible […]

Welcome to the House of Whispers

House of Whispers Vol 1: Power Divided by Nalo Hopkinson, Neil Gaiman, Dominke Stanton

December 31, 2021 by teresaelectro Leave a Comment

I have a blossoming habit of buying graphic novels, but rarely find the time to read them. I picked up House of Whispers Volume 1: Power Divided from the independent Black-owned bookstore, Sistah Sci-Fi. I wanted to support them on Indie Bookstore Day. I’ve been meaning to start the Sandman novels by Neil Gaiman, but it always felt so daunting! When I came across this volume, it was an instabuy since I’ve been meaning to read something by Nalo Hopkinson. House of Whispers kicked off […]

Dark Modern Classic

The Sandman Vol. 1: Preludes and Nocturns by Neil Gaiman

July 3, 2019 by bronte1848 Leave a Comment

I should start this review by saying that I started this book but then some books came off of hold from the library so I put it down to read my books on hold. It took me a bit to get back into the book and what was happening but once I did I quickly sunk into the story’s universe. Sandman is a comic book series that launched Neil Gaiman into the star writer he is today. It tells the story of Morpheus, King of […]
