This volume was the best of the three, but not by much.
I really thought that him overmastering and gaining five threads would have had an actual impact somewhere, but it didn't at all. In the fight with Drile he was still super outclassed, but managed to win anyway. I'm sure that could have been written just as easily with three threads as five.
The ending felt very abrupt. He's been fighting against so much hate towards the Sand Masters for 2.5 volumes of this series, just to suddenly have them all unanimously vote for them right at the end. It felt way too fast for them all to have changed their opinions so suddenly, despite everything he had been doing to earn their votes.
Overall, I quite liked the world building, but the characters were missing something that meant I never felt invested in them. And the plot was very lacking, which was the most disappointing part.

The final graphic novel in Sanderson's White Sand series is probably the best of the three. Most of the world building and character introductions have taken place, which allows you to get into the story a bit more. I still find the graphic novel format less than ideal for Sanderson's story telling style, particularly with this more overtly political rather than action based story, but this one jars less on the transitions than the previous 2 in the series.
The key concepts within the story remain good. The characters are interesting enough and the world is well built with an excellent magic system incorporated into it. It remains one of the less essential parts of the cosmere, but for fans of Sanderson's work you do need to include this in your reading lists. I would recommend starting elsewhere to people new to his work though.

Enjoyable enough to finish, but not worth reading as a standalone without the purpose of gaining some Cosmere knowledge. Twists were pretty underwhelming. Good Enough.

این ولوم در کل به نسبت دوتا قبلی خیلی بهتر بود ولی اخرش چندتا سوال کوچیک بی جواب برامون موند. نمیدونم سندرسون برنامه داره که باز از وایت سند و این سیاره بنویسه یا نه ولی امیدوارم که بنویسه چون تازه جادوی شن داشت خودشو پیدا میکرد
