I, of course, loved “Brief Lives” thanks mostly to Delirium, whose character and design is just a joy as well as a little sad. Someday we will road trip again! ( source) As well as a road trip tale between the unlikeliest of companions, Delirium and Dream. What comes next is a story that sets the wheels in motion for where this series eventually ends. When both Desire and Despair say no, she turns to Dream, who is mourning the end of a romantic relationship and decides to go. Her childlike innocence and whimsy, which is also steeped in the darkness of her past, has always been so utterly charming and lovely, and “Brief Lives” puts her at the forefront as she gets in her mind the idea of finding the long lost Endless Sibling, Destruction. My love for Morpheus’s younger sister Delirium knows no bounds, and I remembered that the story that has so much to do with her was the one that touched me the most on my first read through of this series. Review: This was the storyline in “Sandman” that I was most looking forward to revisiting. But Dream may learn that the cost of finding his prodigal sibling is more than he can bear. Book: “The Sandman (Vol.7): Brief Lives” by Neil Gaiman, Jill Thompson (Ill.), & Vince Locke (Ill.).īook Description: Dream’s youngest sister, the loopy Delirium, convinces him to go on a quest for their missing brother, Destruction.
