Soyoung Park’s groundbreaking Snowglobe series, a cultural phenomenon in Korea, continues with the release of its highly anticipated second installment, Snowglobe 2 (translated by Joungmin Lee Comfort). The book is published by Delacorte Press and follows the success of its predecessor, which won the prestigious Changbi X Kakaopage Young Adult Novel Award.
The first book, Snowglobe, captivated readers with its intense narrative, drawing comparisons to popular global franchises like The Hunger Games and Squid Game, as noted by Entertainment Weekly. Set in a dystopian world, Snowglobe follows the protagonist, Chobahm, who agrees to take on the identity of Haeri within the confines of the mysterious Snowglobe city. Inside the domed walls, Chobahm believes she will finally achieve the life she’s always wanted. However, as the story unfolds, the reality of life inside Snowglobe proves to be far from what she had imagined.
Snowglobe 2 picks up right where the first book left off, plunging readers back into a world full of danger and intrigue. The sequel delves deeper into the struggles of the Haeri girls as they wage a fight against the elusive creators of Snowglobe and the influential Yibonn family. Amid a web of deception, firestorms, and shifting allegiances, the characters must grapple with increasingly unpredictable threats, including volatile geothermal activity and manipulative forces attempting to control them.
With the promise of even greater twists and high-stakes confrontations, Snowglobe 2 is set to deliver an electrifying conclusion to what has become one of the most talked-about duologies in contemporary young adult fiction.
