Ok, yeah, I had a bad experience with the same stuff in American Gods but I *loved* Anansi Boys and Neverwhere, so I am willing to stay onboard. Death The High Cost Of Living made me cry in a way I almost *cannot* do, but in a good way. Gaiman's obsession with Story And Myth As Magic is fun and I thing I generally like, so I'm happy to keep going, but it definitely feels like it's trying to be Greg Stolze a lot.
And yeah, "that is a woman's tale" 100% reads to me as a Whisper Network en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whispe…
But if it leaves horror behind and addresses that Morpheus kinda sucks, I'm excited to read on, because *damn* can Gaiman write when he's not being like "and then this person sucks". (I wanna be clear that I think it's fine/good for Morpheus to suck, as long as *that has a role in the tale* and isn't just... assumed).
My favourite issues were the one retrieving the bag of Sand, and the one where he accompanies Death on Her rounds, both of those made me empathize with people who were imperfect, but without making me later hate them.
