Snowglobe 2 by Soyoung Park
"I really liked the premise of Snowglobe � the first book had a lot of potential, and I was excited to see how it would all wrap up in the sequel. But honestly, this second book just didn’t come together for me. I was hoping for answers and closure, but instead it felt messy.

I’m not sure if it was the translation or just the way it was written, but the story felt really choppy and lacking any depth. There are a few twists, but most of them didn’t make much sense with the plot and seemed like they were added just for shock value.

The fast-paced nature of the plot kept me engaged, but in the end, the lackluster writing and messy execution left me disappointed."

Snowglobe 2 by Soyoung Park
"This book did not feel the same as book 1. As much as I loved the first book I could not get into its sequel. I’m sure some people loved it but not for me personally. "

bookshelves: dnf
Dnf. I loved the first one but this one really just isn't good to me. There's too much going on and the characters don't seem to care enough to actively try and stop it. Things are treated like big deals for a moment and then pushed aside the next for the next "big deal" thing so its confusing and frustrating. ]]>

Snowglobe 2 by Soyoung Park
"DNF at 93 pages.

I’m so bored by this. It all feels so random? And I find myself not caring at all because it’s almost like the characters don’t really care? They are just going about their normal programming like nothing is amiss 😐

Maybe I would have liked it more had I read the books back to back but I am not enjoying this book at all so I’m going to stop reading."
