pickThis shows quite a bit of potential.
But honestly I knew it would, everything “Sanderson” turns into favorites of mine.
As always the magic system is brilliant, the characters are mysteriously vain and the story grabs hold and don‘t let go. The only thing I‘m not totally convinced about is the art, but I believe it will grow on me.
I can‘t wait to get my hands on the next Volume!
so-soMaybe my hopes were too high for Sanderson‘s first graphic contribution to his Cosmere mythos, but something about this just didn‘t work.
In comic form, Sanderson‘s usually masterful worldbuilding ended up as endless pages of characters just standing & expositioning (see above), with lots of opaque politics & very little character work. The first couple chapters were action packed, but the hyper detailed art made fight scenes look like mush.
pickYet another cool form of magic from Sanderson! 👏🏻👏🏻
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
so-soSo I took quick break from reading novels to read a few Graphic novels and White Sand was one of them. There are currently 2 volumes out.
I give it a so-so because the story is at most kind of lack luster and while it does jump straight into the story it kind of leaves information out and gets boring at times. I love the idea of Sand Mages and the art is what really caught my eye. I‘ll keep reading it though and see what happens.
