White Sand, Volume 1

I've read both adaptations of White Sand. Once again, Sanderson proves himself a master of magic systems and introduce another unique magic system to the Cosmere.
Although the visuals of the White Sand Graphic Novel are beautiful, what is missing here in the graphic novel is Sanderson's masterful prose as a storyteller. Now don't get me wrong, I have always been a fan of graphic novels. But I truly missed Sanderson's unique ability to paint the beauty of a story by allowing us to get into the characters minds and tell us a little more about the world we are reading. The subtle ways he describes characters and setting is missing in the graphic novel.
The excerpt of the unfinished novel, found in Arcanum Unbound is really good, and I do wish he'd finish it.
