Loneliness/Justice: An Aspects Prequel

Aspects #0.5

by L.C. Mawson

"Fitting in" had never really appealed to Lex.

Not that she would be capable of it if it did, but she didn't care. Not when she had two friends by her side that she knew would never leave, right?

But living in a world of monsters, with only superpowered warriors to protect them, should have meant she knew better.

When her two only friends are called to join these warriors, she's left alone.

But maybe her loneliness is exactly what will save her...

About the author

Some say she's an ancient creature of nightmare that was unleashed from beneath the ocean, come to devour the souls of men. Others say that she's a cosmic being from the beyond the stars that has taken corporeal form to learn our ways for some unknown end...

In truth, L.C. Mawson lives in a tower in the middle of a haunted forest, far from civilisation and is definitely not a witch who curses those who trespass upon her land. And she definitely cannot turn into a dragon that flies over cities in the dead of night and whose cries are often mistaken for an approaching storm. Where did you hear that? That's absurd...

The only contact she has with humanity is publishing books every so often, which is definitely just for fun and not part of an ancient contract with a trickster god.

[Elpis G. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loneliness/Justice follows the story of one of the other Aspects, the Aspect of Loneliness through her life before she became an Aspect and how she grew up with the Aspects of Justice and Vengeance before they all became Aspects and the struggles that Loneliness went through subsequently when they were both chosen before her.

For me, this story was relatable on an additional level. LC Mawson captured the struggle of an undiagnosed autistic woman very well and also didn't focus on that and make it the whole point of the story. It was more focused on the coming to terms with life and how things have changed, especially after meeting up with Justice later on and seeing if things really have changed deep down.

Overall, I liked the book. It felt a bit fast, but I am more used to reading full length novels, not short prequel stories. It is good for any fan of the Aspects series, or LC Mawson's series in general.
