![]() ![]() After a while, it kinda felt like SJM just wanted to introduce new things and didn't know how so she threw them into Danika's bag of secrets and called it a day.īut, whatever. Danika had a whole secret life, filled with so many secrets and people that Bryce never knew about. And honestly, it's because half the time most of those twists were coming entirely out of left field and it was all Danika's fault! I was getting second-hand embarrassment for Bryce every time something new was revealed about her supposed 'best friend'. While I did predict the outcome to several plot twists, like the identity of agent Daybright, there were a billion other twists that I didn't see coming, like that ending for which nothing could have prepared me for!!!!. ![]() Every time I thought I knew where the story was going, a whole other layer of complications and magic and worldbuilding was added to the mix. ![]() I can't even count the number of times I had to put it down and walk away for a minute because I was scared to read what happened next. ![]() I'll try to write a review but bear with me.įirst, let me just say that if anything happens to Ruhn and Hunt I am going to riot. ![]()

![]() ![]() Though Harry is not really considered the "spare" anymore since Prince William and Kate now have three children: Prince George (heir), Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis (both spares), but he is still fifth in line to the throne. ![]() Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletterįor the royal family, it's two children of a monarch, with the heir ( Prince William) who is first in the line of succession and will one day become King, while the spare (Prince Harry) whose role is to step up if something happens to Prince William. The title " Spare" refers to the phrase “the heir and the spare," a phrase widely used to describe two children where the older one (heir) will succeed a title and its responsibilities, while the younger one (spare) is around to fulfil duties if something happens to the heir. The revelations made headlines before its release after the book accidentally went on sale early in Spain, but now everyone can get a copy and it has become the fastest-selling non-fiction book ever. Prince Harry's memoir Spare was officially released on January 10, and people from around the world can read about his life as a royal, and leaving the institution. ![]() ![]() ![]() But although his PR gurus have proved adept at blurring the boundaries between fiction and reality, they didn’t create the widespread disorientation on which Putinism thrives. The Kremlin’s control of the airwaves has been central to this effort indeed, the capacity to bend public perceptions has been an integral part of Putin’s rule since he first came to power 15 years ago. ![]() In Russia, the hardening of the domestic consensus behind Putin has been helped along by the media’s increasingly strident nationalism, and by a propaganda chorus about western plots to undermine and destroy the country. ![]() T he war in eastern Ukraine, rumbling into life once more after the collapse of an unsteady ceasefire, has created a widening breach between Russia and the west, with relations now worse than they have been in decades. ![]() ![]() ![]() Picture: Reality Badge by Vincent Chong (Interior artwork available in the limited edition of Snapshot) ![]() However, despite the unoriginality, Sanderson did a great job in utilizing the concept of Snapshot and Deviation to create his own engaging Sci-Fi detective story that’s filled with mystery, heart and great characterizations within a short period of reading length. The concept used in Snapshot-the recreation of an alternate reality of a specific day in time for the purpose of investigation-may not be the most original concept out there plenty of video games and movies has adapted this concept already. ![]() I’ve been on a Sanderson withdrawal for too long and this novella was the little fix I needed. Alas, here I am, who was I kidding? Less than two months left until Oathbringer’s release date and I just can’t wait any longer. Don’t judge me, based on my experience, this has almost always been the case. Why? Well, I have this belief that just because it’s not his main series, it won’t be as good or creative. I’ve caught up to all his books and novellas in his Cosmere universe and I told myself I won’t read anything written by him outside of that universe. The last time I read anything by Brandon Sanderson, it was Arcanum Unbounded around six months ago this fact itself is a sin already. Well, what can I say? It’s Brandon Sanderson, you know what to expect here Snapshot is a compelling mini gem of a Sci-Fi novella ![]() |
