Small spoilers. I DNF'ed at chapter 12/30. I didnt care and it was boring. Audiobook was good quality and the book is not bad, it is actually pretty good. Still, it is basically 1 big science problem, lots of science im actually pretty familiar with. The problem to me was the lack of character development and interaction with other characters - bro is all alone until he meets Rocky and even in flashbacks he is being told what to do and then does science stuff. Nothing makes his character change and there are no other characters to make him bounce off or interact with. Idk, the stakes/story just didnt interest me. The teacher parts, PhD background and interaction with the kids and bean bags was cool though. Other than thats its just one big science problem I guess.

I found out this reading style is not for me. I love Brandon Sanderson's books, but in this comic-form I found White Sand to be quite boring, hard to keep my attention, hard to keep track of things (unannounced time and location skips), mediocre characters and feeling a bit guitly for not appreciating the art enough.
I always wanted to try manga, and I will at some point because right now I dont know if the whole comic book story-style is not for me, or White Sand just wasn't doing it for me.
Still very excited for the White Sand official prose to release as full book at some point (I believe Brandon is working on it) as I was unable to get my hands on the fabled “newsletter White Sand prose”. Hope I will like that more. (Review written in december 2024).
