A brand new saga of magic and adventure by #1 New York Times best-selling author Brandon Sanderson.
On the planet of Taldain, the legendary Sand Masters harness arcane powers to manipulate sand in spectacular ways. But when they are slaughtered in a sinister conspiracy, the weakest of their number, Kenton, believes himself to be the only survivor. With enemies closing in on all sides, Kenton forges an unlikely partnership with Khriss -- a mysterious Darksider who hides secrets of her own.
White Sand brings to life a crucial, unpublished part of Brandon Sanderson’s sprawling Cosmere universe. The story has been adapted by Rik Hoskin (Mercy Thompson), with art by Julius Gopez and colors by Ross Campbell. Employing powerful imagery and Sanderson’s celebrated approach to magical systems, White Sand is a spectacular new saga for lovers of fantasy and adventure.

Promising but with poor characterization, deus ex machinas and dialogues continuing seamlessly after time skips. Khriss is annoying and I learned that she is a worldhopper... why?
This was good but not Stormlight level of good. I listened to this as an audiobook (don't have the physical copy of graphic novel), which was still amazing though because of Graphic Audio which adds background noises and that was completely awesome.
Just the sound of characters walking on sand was a little grating on the nerves
It might be because this is a graphic novel, or because its one of the first books Sanderson ever wrote but I didn't enjoy it as much as his other works. It all went a little fast and confusing. I miss the long inner thoughts of the characters to really make sense of their motives. I think reading this in long form would make me enjoy it better because right now I didn't really care for the characters much.
