Brandon Sanderson's White Sand Omnibus

Product Information

I wasn't thrilled with the art. At the beginning, a lot of the sand masters looked alike, especially since they were wearing white, hooded outfits and you couldn't see their faces well enough. Some of the scenic illustrations of the world was pretty cool.

Leer esta novela ya habiendo leído todo el resto del Cosmere te permite ver ciertos detalles, pero no es indispensable que hayan leído nada para poder adentrarse en él. Alcatraz Versus the Evil Librarians · The Scrivener's Bones · The Knights of Crystallia · The Shattered Lens · The Dark Talent · Bastille Versus the Evil Librarians Oh, and why would a character who has grown up on a world where the sun is always in the same place in the sky, never moving, even have to narrate about that to himself? He's never known anything different, and he's not explaining it to anyone but the readers sooooo... that's just some really clunky exposition delivery right there. The entire thing is like that too. That's what I meant when I said that there's way too much narration to explain all of the worldbuilding instead of working it into the story in some way.The characters were okay. Kenton, the main protagonist I would say, is pretty well developed. I liked how you know his motivations and struggles. It wasn't brushed off, instead it was used to the progression of the story. The side characters were fine, nothing really worth talking futher about. It's time for another Secrets in Stained Glass story! This is an Eliane and Dier story, set before the main series. We hope you enjoy! You can see all Secrets in Stained Glass content in our tag, and our last bit of main content will be an over three hour long video of some of the cast discussing Secrets in Stained Glass on Sunday, September 3rd, and on September 9th, we will have a Q&A stream! And so I read it and really enjoyed the setup. You know how it is. A kid full of willpower and drive and virtually no support from his society or his father. Stay down. Don't try. You're weak. Aunque al principio te suelte un poco de golpe y porrazo en los desiertos del lado diurno de Taldain, con habitantes del lado nocturno metidos en el fregado (lo cual te deja dos sociedades a las que pillarle el truco y más incluso ya que en cada lado de este extraño planeta hay diversos países y religiones) pronto la trama coge las riendas del worldbuilding y este empieza a fluir. Khriss was *completely* recharacterized. Her prologue and new scenes frame her as a main character alongside Kenton, and the book really feels like it's as much her story as his.

When I first heard there will be omnibus of this series I couldn't wait and held off on purchasing the separate volumes. This book allegedly contains many improvements. Kriss's notes were cool and added explanations of how magic in this world works. I know that the prologue is also exclusive to this edition. But if anything else was improved I can't imagine the original. They should've spent the resources on redrawing the last chapter of volume 2 which is atrocious. Don't know the reason why it was done by different artist but the other two artists managed to capture the atmosphere quite well. This chapter was full of clinically clean low budget looking drawings which are also sadly present in many other comic books nowadays. No wonder everyone (including me) prefers manga. I was also honored to be able to complete the final three volumes of The Wheel of Time, beginning with The Gathering Storm, using Robert Jordan’s notes.En cuánto a los dibujos, choca bastante que el ilustrador cambie en la mitad (específicamente al final del tomo 2) pero a la larga te terminas acostumbrando y no me molestó tanto como pensé que me iba a molestar. 😅

También me gustó mucho el uso de los colores para entender los idiomas y como es un elemento más a notar en este cambio cultural. En cuanto a la trama, si bien puede pecar de previsible, tiene acción en todo momento y no decae en ningún momento. También tiene bastante dosis política ya que Kenton debe ganarse el favor de los dirigentes de la sociedad para salvar a su orden.Ha sido un placer poder disfrutar de uno de los mundos del autor a todo color y casi en movimiento, solo por eso ya merece la pena hacerse con esta joya que reúne en un solo tomo las tres partes de Arena Blanca. Esta edición ómnibus es una pasada, aunque eso sí, se me ha hecho muy incómoda de leer porque pesa muchísimo. Empezaré alabando este magnífica edición que reúne los tres volúmenes de la obra y que incluye contenido que no estaba en ellos individualmente. Es un gustazo la gran calidad del tomo, que hace que el increíble dibujo brille con más fuerza en el viaje a Taldain.

Mi primera experiencia con una novela gráfica tenía que ser de la mano de Brandon Sanderson. La experiencia me ha gustado mucho, pero quizá no sea mi formato para leer a este autor. Eche en falta al majestuoso Brandon en estado puro y sus hermosas descripciones, cosa que siendo una novela gráfica es imposible que suceda.Hace años caí en el engaño de comprar el primer volumen de ésta obra que iba a salir en tres partes. Pasados meses y años me di cuenta de que no pensaban publicar el resto, hasta que vista la gallina de los huevos de oro que es Sanderson, han traído una edición omnibus que incluye las tres partes en uno, con su prólogo, glosario, ilustraciones, etc. Una chulada, una edición de lujo, que comparada con ése triste primer volumen que se publicó hace años, merece esta más la pena. Lo peor de lo peor de éste volumen, es el peso extra, en serio, a menos que seáis levantadores de pesas no os acerquéis a él, os rompe los brazos, las muñecas y los dedos, lo que lo hace incómodo e inmanejable de leer. But candidly, we cannot afford to lose more money by giving money away. I know many think that digital is cheap and easy, but it’s not. It really is not. If it was a simple solution, then I would be for it, but it’s not. Khriss was insufferable though her character improved towards the end. Instead Ais replaced her as one of the worst characters I've ever seen. I hated her inner dialogue. It was so cringe. It reminded me of Warbreaker which I used to consider by far the worst Cosmere novel. Well, now it has a companion. En cuanto a la trama se centra sobre todo en los maestros de la arena, con Kenton como protagonista. Toda la historia de los maestros me ha gustado mucho y me ha mantenido interesada en su historia. Pero he echado mucho en falta que se ahonde en la parte de Khriss y conocerla más y poder llegar a conectar con esa parte de la historia. Me hubiera encantado poder conocer también toda la parte del lado oscuro.
