I really should read more translated books because there is always just something about them that is so engrossing and different and I end up enjoying pretty much every one that I read!

This book gave me Hunger Games-esque vibes (with a touch of Blood Over Bright Haven) for sure and the setting is everything: dystopian frozen world where humans generate the power in a harsh climate where the average temp is -50 below zero! Except for the residents of Snowglobe, which is a geothermal temperature-controlled dome that houses all of the directors and actors and residents that produce the entertainment reality shows that everyone longs to be a part of.

The twists in this book genuinely had me saying “What?!” and just shaking my head as I tried to process everything and then simultaneously being so hooked on the story that I had to keep listening to see what happened next! I will definitely be reading the next book whenever it is available.

I liked the story, don't know why my feeling says it is this rating, thought it'd be higher. I think it maybe was the writing style of the action, not aure though. But i like the new appocolypicish idea with the entertainment globe and harsh temperatures on the outside.

DID NOT FINISH: 55%

The writing was so choppy. I didn't like how they were doing more showing than telling. Also, the wired thing with the portals. I don't know I expected to like the premise behind this dystopian future but the main character just seemed so gullible. Not for me.

Strong character development: Yes

Absolutely loved the setting and characters. The plot was a little jumpy for me and hard to follow but that’s not necessarily a bad thing as it kept me interested. I did feel like the last 2-3 chapters could have been wrapped up a little sooner and I’m also disappointed that the mirrors (iykyk) didn’t come into play more for the ending, however I did get the sense that they will be an element in the next book. I hope we learn more about how they were created, how the power works, etc. If you’re looking for a wintery read to keep you guessing, highly recommend this one.
