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
