Snowglobe 2 by Soyoung Park and Translated by Joungmin Lee Comfort

While the truth behind the Haeris has come out, the truth behind Snowglobe's power has not. Chobahm is dedicated to ensuring that the human-powered plant below Snowglobe is shut down and the Yibonn family stopped but she can't figure out how to do it or at least not on her own. At Fran's wedding though two remarkable things happen; Chobahm meets a mysterious woman in a wheelchair who hands her an even more mysterious business card and then disappears and Chobahm discovers that somehow Bonwhe's grandmother has discovered that Chobahm knows and Chobahm knows that this puts everyone she loves at risk. With no other choice, she will have to turn to her cast members, her friends to take down the Yibonns before they silence her forever. 

What a freaking ride! Since we already knew who the bad guys were (which they are way worse than we knew from book one) book two is mostly about how Chobahm, Serin, and the rest of the group are going to take them out. This is obviously not easy given that there are cameras everywhere, so the plan has to be daring and it has to have everyone involved or it's going to fail miserably. Which honestly it kind of sort of does, which is why this is such a fantastic ride. Chobahm is constantly having to adapt the plan to emerging problems, and she also has to trust a bunch of people that quite frankly she has no reason to trust. Basically, the sh*t hits the fan pretty much from the get-go in this one and it's truly a race against time and one old lady who has control of everything and everyone to save the known world. 

In terms of character growth there isn't much nor does there need to be. Chobahm and Serin for the most part set their differences aside, but to be honest, I feel like its fewer differences and more that they are just way too similar personality-wise. Which yes, I know they are clones, but given how the girls were raised all of them clearly have their own unique personalities Chobahm and Serin seem to be the only two who are the same person. I think the big thing here character-wise wise is really how freaking evil Bonwhe's mother and grandmother are. Just when you think they cant get worse they do. 

And of course, we still have this wonderful discourse on Idol Culture, the epilogue especially really brings that whole conversation full circle. 

Highly recommend this series, but if you read book 1 definitely recommend pick this up!
