A review by lesserjoke
White Sand Volume 2 by Brandon Sanderson, Rik Hoskin

2.0

As with the first volume, this continuing comic adaptation of an unpublished Brandon Sanderson manuscript utterly fails to bring his usual vivid imagination to life. There are glimmers of an interesting story here, but character motivations and plot points are presented in such an abbreviated format that without any outside knowledge of what's going on, the whole thing comes across as rather inscrutable. The artwork also adds little to the equation, and the sudden shift in the last chapter to a different illustrator with a very different style makes me wonder about creative struggles behind the scenes.

These are quick reads, but I hope that the forthcoming conclusion is a substantial improvement, because so far this cosmere outing is a real bust.
