Beautifully conceived places, immersive story and intriguing relationships between people. The technology is fascinating, well thought out and has limitations that makes sense. This is what I expect from a Sanderson novel, and it's exactly what was delivered. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A short science fiction detective story *by T***A on Reviewed in the United States on November 15, 2018* A snapshot is taken of day inside a city. Everything about that day is replicated into a virtual image and detectives are placed on "snapshot" duty to investigate crimes that took place the day that was snapshotted. People outside the snapshot know about it and it's implementation is highly controversial because if anything is changed from how things were originally done that day, people and events deviate. Davis and Chaz are two detectives following a lead when they discover building that has a pool in the basement. This pool is filled with dead bodies. Having not been given clearance to investigate this crime, their interests are peaked and take it upon themselves to investigate who murdered all of these people in the pool.This is a multilevel, science fiction, crime thriller in traditional Brandon Sanderson fashion. For a story that is just under 100 pages, it is rich in detail and character development. Davis conveys his humanity intermittently throughout this story that only adds to his character. We also get some back story on both Davis and Chaz and how each ended up on "snapshot duty". There are so many twists and turns, things that threw me through a loop. Brandon Sanderson layers everything so perfectly and it really makes the story come together. This story was well framed and left very few questions unanswered.While I am not a huge fan of short stories overall, Brandon Sanderson never fails to bring something unique and interesting to the table and I will forever read anything and everything he writes. This story is just one more example of how talented he is. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Detectives on the prowl with a Bladerunner/Minority Report aftertaste *by �***� on Reviewed in the United States on February 17, 2017* Sanderson is his usual convoluted self in this near-future detective story. There are multiple twists, layers of meaning, some plot devices you see coming and some that you don't. I can't say I enjoyed this as much as The Emperor's Soul or other shorter works by Sanderson, but it is interesting and thought-provoking. If you're a fan or a completionist, it's definitely worth getting.If you're not a Sanderson fan already, frankly, I'd start out with the Mistborn novels or The Emperor's Soul, though, and not Snapshot. This story is much different from Sanderson's usual fare. While this has a Bladerunner/Minority Report aftertaste for me, it's not quite up to his usual standards. Or maybe it was just too short. 4.5 stars. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ie/products/88723278-snapshot](https://www.desertcart.ie/products/88723278-snapshot) --- *Product available on Desertcart Ireland* *Store origin: IE* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
