I've never read a Sanderson book before, so I wasn't entirely sure what I was getting into with this one.
I found the world building to be super great and interesting. The setting was engrossing and I had so many questions like: Spoilerwhy are all these buildings run down? what was the turning event in 2016 to change the world so much? what the hell is the THING that makes Snapshots possible? I'm a little sad that these things didn't get resolved, but it kept me engaged.
The 'mystery' itself was a little meh. I can't say I saw the twist coming from a mile away, but neither did it surprise me too much.
3 stars because I wish the book had been more about Spoilerthe 'unconscious thing' generating the Snapshots than the 2 average crimes that were presented.
