Snapshot is a Science Fiction detective story following Anthony Davis, a cop assigned to Snapshot Duty. In this vivid world that author Brandon Sanderson has built, society can create a snapshot of a specific day in time. The experiences people have, the paths they follow—all of them are real again for a one day in the snapshot. All for the purposes of investigation by the court.
Davis's job as a cop on Snapshot Duty is straight forward. Sometimes he is tasked with finding where a criminal dumped a weapon. Sometimes he is tasked with documenting domestic disputes. Simple. Mundane. One day, in between two snapshot assignments, Davis decides to investigate the memory of a call that was mysteriously never logged at the precinct, and he makes a horrifying discovery.
As in all many stories, Snapshot follows a wonderfully flawed character as he attempts to solve a horrific crime. Sanderson proves that no matter the genre, he is one of the most skilled storytellers in the business.
My Review:
This story was so fantastic! I loved the world with the snapshots, it was so interesting to read! And that it's used as an investigative tool, that was pretty awesome, because we had this incredible world, but we also had cops trying to solve mysteries. So great!
Davis was an interesting character, he was focused on this one time that was going to happen, and we didn't know what was going to happen there. But then he starts investigating, and while it's only over the course of a day, well, a lot happens!
There were so many little elements to this book! The different mysteries, the world that was built, how a snapshot worked, Davis' interactions with his partner. The weird lady who gave him her number. It was all so delicately woven and so fantastic to read!
I didn't catch the clues, because apparently, we were supposed to wonder about this snapshot that they were in. I didn't get that, so that part, well, all the parts, of the ending caught me off guard. But it was really fantastic to read!
Loved this story, and I would love to spend more time in this world!
