Disfruté este innovador thriller juvenil coreano. Hace tiempo no me leía una buena novela de distópica. CUANDO ESTÁS DENTRO, TODO EL MUNDO ESTÁ OBSERVANDO ... básicamente esta premisa resume lo atrapante de esta historia. La novela presenta un mundo post apocalíptico, devastado por el clima bajo zero, donde cada día es una lucha por la supervivencia. Entre secretos, falsas identidades, un mundo manipulado y giros inesperados nos adentramos a una historia casi inimaginable.

Es perfecto para los que disfrutan los K-dramas o son fans de “El Juego del Calamar”, “Black Mirror” y “Los Juegos del Hambre”. Esta novela mezcla la ciencia con un toque increíble de cine que te estalla la cabeza tratando de descifrar la próxima movida. Sumérgete en esta historia y prepárate para su final abierto que te traslada al pasado y te deja en la espera de la 2da parte. Porque sí… ¡es una bilogía! Hay mucho más que contar.

 Snowglobe is a YA dystopian novel where ordinary citizens in below-freezing weather conditions watch these celebrities live perfectly in a snowglobe. I saw it compared to the Hunger Games and Squid Games on the back. 
 
This one has been on my TBR, and I had high hopes for it. Unfortunately, it was a little disappointing. The last half was very fast-paced and filled with plot holes. The issue with that is that none at the beginning of the book were covered, so I have little to no hope for book 2. OOP!

I found this book on a library recommended list for translated books. It's very much a YA book, and I just don't really like YA. The worldbuilding is incredibly stupid and I'm sure the big reveal is the people in power built it to be stupid because they wanted power and control or something, and I just didn't find it compelling. Perhaps I'd be proven wrong if I kept reading.

Didn't realise this was YA.
