Dear Justyce by Nic Stone
3.0
okay i was so excited for this sequel. i really was. having thoroughly enjoyed [b:Dear Martin|24974996|Dear Martin (Dear Martin, #1)|Nic Stone|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1495747080l/24974996._SY75_.jpg|44640226], i expected to also enjoy its sequel.
and i did. for the most part.
i was much more satisfied with the first half of the book rather than the second. i liked the concept of getting to know quan through the use of letters, flashbacks, etc while he sat idly in his cell. it was unique, heart-wrenching and overall a great ride.
the second half felt a bit anticlimactic to be completely honest. when the . . . um, the twist *tries not to spoil anything*, my surprise was like a lightning strike: it disappears as quickly as it appears. i could already plan out how the book was going to conclude - and while it was done quite well, i wish it was a bit more . . . unique, i suppose? i don't know how to explain it without giving anything away.
we get to see some of the characters from [b:Dear Martin|24974996|Dear Martin (Dear Martin, #1)|Nic Stone|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1495747080l/24974996._SY75_.jpg|44640226] and at first i was glad, but wow did i forget how annoying and two-dimensional some of them were. okay, they had more substance in the first book, but here it felt like they were just there to draw connections between the two books.
