Is the White Sand graphic novel omnibus a must?

I’m making my way through the Cosmere. I’ve read, in the following order, Mistborn Era 1, The Eleventh Metal, Elantris, Hope of Elantris, and The Emperor’s Soul.

I was planning to read White Sand and Shadows for Silence in the Forests of Hell before both from Arcanium Unbounded, before going into Mistborn era 2 next.

Question, is the White Sand graphic novel omnibus a must read when I have some of it in Arcanium Unbounded? I realise / assume there’s more in the omnibus, but I’m not really a fan of graphic novels, and it’s a bit expensive for me to justify buying when that is the case.

I’m a bit of a completionist when it comes to book series hence why I’m on the fence.

Thanks!

Page style or Damage (Iliad)

I received this order of Emily Wilson’s Iliad. The page cutting is uneven throughout, so much that it makes it feel like card pages. I could see this potentially being annoying to read.

So is this a style I’m unaware of, or is this a printing issue? It doesn’t look great from side on but just want to be sure before requesting return.

Apologies if post is not suitable for the sub.

How do Leinster play to their best to win? How do we stop Bordeaux? Fascinated to hear some ideas.

For me personally, I think Bath actually had a good game plan. Their tactical kicking was fantastic and identified that turning Bordeaux around is a good plan. No “don’t kick to this back 3” BS and realised if you do kick and chase well, they (Bordeaux) can’t do much, and Bordeaux are liable to a bit of hair brained madness too when back there. I dunno, that was my reading of the game. Open to being totally wrong on that.

Thoughts?
