"Another short story collection, though several of the stories are loosely connected. Some interesting stories and insights here, but only a little that really developes the overall story of Morpheus. The exception is the story of Sandman's son, Orpheus. But this is offset by the first story in the collection, "Fear of Falling," which I found very predictable, to the point of cliche."
"I am not a very big fan of the short stories amid the arcs of the Sandman series. In this collection only two of the stories stood apart from the rest: Three Septembers and a January and The Parliament of the Rook. The former was a great story with great art. The latter was hilarious beyond that of any other Sandman story I remember or have read so far. The rest of the stories were not memorable and didn't hold my interest, but for those two stories alone this deserves a 4 out of 5."
"This book, Fables and Reflections, is a very solid entry in Neil Gaiman's Sandman series. It features a variety of loosely connected stories that revolve around Dream of the Endless, and some of his siblings. Most of these stories are standalone issues: only one, which deals with Dream's relationship with his son Orpheus, plays a role in the larger Sandman saga. However, every one of these stories is infused with a poetic beauty and richness that showcases, if nothing else, Neil Gaiman's amazing talent as a storyteller. Fables and Reflections is far superior to the earlier Sandman "story" collection, Dream Country, which featured a much smaller selection of tales, most of which were not as captivating as those found in this volume. Particularly memorable issues in this collection are those featuring Abraham Joshua Norton, the self-proclaimed "emperor of America"; the Caliph of Baghdad, who strikes a deal with Dream; and a young Marco Polo, who also has a strange encounter with the Sandman.
"Fables & Reflections was probably my least favorite Sandman volume so far. While I delighted in the single-issue stories in Dream Country, the ones contained in this one didn't thrill me as much. I lost my focus a few times and wished there weren't so many grouped together without a common theme. Dream Country, on the other hand, was the perfect taste of outside-the-plot mini tales.
The stories about Orpheus were the most interesting, being the most relevant to Dream, and I found myself wishing more issues were devoted to his story."
