This story was marketed as Hunger Games meets Squid Game, so I was expecting more of the action that those two brought. This is more the socioeconomic status of those two shows/books, where we have people living inside the Snowglobe (think "the Capitol") and those living outside (think the poor districts or the less wealthy who joined Squid Games to earn money for a chance at a better life).

Our main character, Chobahm, is invited into the Snowglobe after a tragic "accident" happens with of of the famous elite...but soon, she finds out that living inside the Snowglobe is not all that it's cracked up to be. 

Thank you to NetGalley, Soyoung Park, and Delacorte Press for the opportunity to read and review this book in exchange for my honest opinion. I am looking forward to see what's next in the duology in spring 2025!
