Post from the White Sand, Volume 1 (White Sand, #1) forum
Okay, so on my Sanderson Cosmere journey, the list of books I haven’t read is now much shorter then the ones I have.
White Sand was a gamble for my TBR, but I didn’t want to leave any stone unturned. I found all three volumes at the library.
First, I had a comic book phase…30 years ago. Second, I really invented in The Sandman, and not much else (it changed my brain chemistry). Third, Sanderson is amazing at world building and describing things through prose. Like, a LOT of prose (eyeballs Wind and Truth’s 1300+ pages).
The thing is, I’m halfway through the first volume. The visuals don’t drive the story, the text does. Having read this much Sanderson, I can see what he’d doing, but it’s more like a visual representation of how he would write rather than the art of the GRAPHIC novel.

I need some encouragement. I need to ask myself, "What would an Apollo astronaut do?" He'd drink three whiskey sours, drive his Corvette to the launchpad, then fly to the moon in a command module smaller than my Rover. Man those guys were cool.
Man 😭😭
