A review by librosydragones
White Sand Volume 2 by Brandon Sanderson, Rik Hoskin
3.0
2022 reread update:
I enjoyed it a bit more. I was able to look past the change of artist and the unfinished look of the last chapter and focus of the story, which moved forward in this volume. I would love a novel based on Taldain in the future, such an interesting world and magic system, with so much left unexplored!
First read:
I like the story, I think I would have loved the book if Sanderson had published it as a regular novel, instead of being published separately as graphic novels. But sadly that is the case, so I'm not enjoying these White Sand volumes very much.
To start with, it's a bit confusing, so much world building and magic to explain with so little text, most of it dialogues. And I've never been a fan of the artwork, the details most of all. But what they did with this last volume, using a different artist for the last chapter, was... not cool.
Of course I'll read the last installment, because it's an important part of the Cosmere, but I can't imagine how they will tie every loose end in just one more volume. Only time will tell.
