The Kindly Ones have many names: The Erinyes. The Eumenides. The Dirae. The Furies. Agents of vengeance, implacable and unstoppable, they do not rest until the crimes they seek to punish are washed clean with blood. It is to them Lyta Hall turns when her baby, Daniel, is taken from her, and it is Dream of the Endless who becomes their target. But behind a mother's grief and unyielding rage, there are darker forces at work, and what they set in motion will eventually demand a sacrifice greater than any the Dreaming has yet known.
Wow, I don't know where to begin. The best Sandman book yet. Everything that I've read so far pretty much all wraps up in this, the longest of the Sandman collections. And it was worth the trip.
If you ever want to read anything by Neil Gaiman that hits on all cylinders and emotions, this is it.
