I loved the story, the world building and meeting the different characters. I felt completely immersed in the story and couldn't stop reading it.

I would recommend this book soley based on the fact it's a sequel and readers want answers. That being said, it was confusing. All the names and characters were hard to keep track of. Just when you think you have it figured out, someone who was dead is no longer dead. All these look alikes wanting to go after each other to have love, acceptance, fame. Hard to figure out who is good and who is bad. I'm glad this is the last book in the series; I don't think I would read another one. Fell flat compared to the first one.

I read this book in 24 hours, mostly because I couldn't bear to put it down. With each new twist and turn--trust me, there were plenty--my eyes were glued even more firmly to the page.

Like the first book, this one also focuses mainly on the plot rather than on characterization. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, considering the ever-advancing plot held my attention. The novel also contains questionable science, but it wasn't enough to take me out of the story.

More importantly, however, this story was an entertaining read, which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Within the first few pages, the novel provides a brief summary of events from the first book, helping readers jog their memories. This summary is included in an otherwise action-heavy start, both snagging readers' interest and reminding them of previous events. Since I read the first book just over a year ago, I greatly appreciated reminder.

From there, the plot keeps advancing, firmly establishing us in this world post-Haeri-esposé and introducing us to Jeon Chobahm's newest problems--and trust me, they're not small. Very quickly, Chobahm finds herself in deep trouble, and the situation only continues to worsen. Over the course of the novel, she has to work with friends, allies, and even enemies to resolve these problems and to pursue a better world for everyone.

I was satisfied with this book's end--both as the end to the novel, as well as to the duology. Although at times the characters make rather questionable decisions when it comes to morality, the novel was very entertaining from start to finish. I certainly hope that in an actual post-apocalyptic or post-ravaged-by-climate-change world humanity would make better societal decisions than the characters in this fictional world did. However, the end of the novel offers hope for the fictional world's future: that even in the worst situations, people can always build a better future as long as they work towards it.

I loved Snowglobe - The Hunger Games meets Squid Games, but inside a globe! And of course, it ended on a cliffhanger. I have been waiting and wondering to find out what is going to happen to Chobahm next. Seems she can't catch a break!

"Snowglobe 2" is the second book in the dystopian Snowglobe series by Korean author Soyoung Park (translated by Joungmin Lee Comfort). Snowglobe is a giant dome where people live and are filmed constantly and made into shows. Everyone else must live outside in the freezing cold. Chobahm, the main character from the first book, discovered several secrets about Snowglobe and revealed some in the past book, but she is still hiding a doozy. This book focuses on Chobahm trying to take down the family that runs Snowglobe without bringing trouble back onto her friends and family. There are a lot of plot twists and setbacks, and at times I felt frustrated with Chobahm for trying to do everything on her own. However, the mysteries will keep readers interested as Chobahm works to end the hidden cruelty of Snowglobe. A recommended purchase for those who have the first book and where dystopian fiction is popular.

I like to pitch Snowglobe to people by saying, "Hey remember when YA dystopia was good?" This book absolutely lives up to the cliffhanger and the hype of Book 1! I loved it!
