Entretenida la historia hasta ahora, pero saltos de escenas muy abruptos , que incluye resoluciones muy rápida de problemas.
Falta más de como funciona la investidura.

Kenton, the protagonist, is an interesting character with a unique blend of skill and stubbornness. However, the lack of internal perspective and character development makes it difficult to connect with him on a deeper level. Khriss, while intriguing, remains somewhat mysterious at this stage.
The series' potential is evident, and I'm eager to see how Sanderson develops the story and characters in future installments. With a focus on character depth and a more cohesive narrative

This is interesting, but Sanderson’s strength is world building and I feel it suffers from the format.

I am a big fan of Sanderson, and the key concepts within White Sand are interesting and clever in the usual Sanderson way. I am, however, unsure if a graphic novel is the best medium for them. There are several very confusing frames where the story jumps all over the place. This feels like it really need to be read as a novel, to allow the characters to develop in a more natural way.
The key concept here is a magic system where people can manipulate sands, at the cost of using up water. Definitely an intriguing tradeoff in a magic system. A classic sandersonian system.
The artwork is fine and the story does flow, but this is one of the weaker Sanderson books so far. I have books 2 and 3 to read, so will have to see if this is suffering from just being the first 1/3rd of a book. It is still Sanderson and a lot better than many more generic fantasy books out there though
