Another one that gets better as it goes. I’m shocked that this straight (I think) guy wrote something so progressive 30 years ago and managed to get by with few problems. I was bawling my eyes out at the end. The fantasy adventure was magical and brought out my joy for stories.
Gaiman is such a mature writer. He consistently merges wisdom and creativity in moving, fresh stories. Bravo again.
I’ve decided to, instead of continuing to make my way through the series gradually, go ahead and get the rest of the installments from my library and read to the end.
