again, way too much telling and not showing. a lot of exposition could be cut out. Gorgeous art, even if some characters aren't really how I imagined. Just finished the first season of the tv show - love it! Gorgeous cinematography, and excellent expanded storylines for some characters like McSweeny and Laura Moon. Love getting this story in all different mediums.

I absolutely love this story & am really enjoying reading this adaptation. Neil Gaiman's books are so perfectly fit for graphic novels. This story just gets my mind going & really makes me think about divinity & America

Tenho mixed feelings quanto a este segundo volume.
Se por um lado sinto que grande parte do que li foi um conjunto de vazio, por outro a grande aventura de Shadow e Wednesday continua a despertar-me grande interesse. A história perde ritmo e, volta e meia, é atravessada por outras histórias que, até ver, não me fazem grande sentido. Mas isso ainda me deixa mais intrigada e com mais vontade de ler. Talvez isto não faça grande sentido ou até seja mesmo esse o objetivo, deixar o leitor com aquela avidez.
A arte continua a ser fantástica e gosto muito da paleta de cores.
Posto isto, já não há forma de eu conseguir largar esta história.

slower than the first volume, if only because this part of the story is mostly exposition. but the art is still beautiful and the story is still translated wonderfully and faithfully.

This graphic novel series is really tempting me to rewatch season 1 again before finally watching season 2.
