Lips Touch: Three Times by Laini Taylor
3.0

She thought she could taste the words, all ginger and chili and sugar, fiery and sweet, and she held them in her mouth like candies.

Three stories about three kisses – one with a goblin, the second one destined to be ruined by a curse and the third one with an immortal touch. I liked the first story the least, the characters felt shallow and childish and though the fantastical element was interesting it felt a bit bland. The second one was my favourite for it felt like a beautiful and oriental fairytale, I really loved it. The third story fascinated me for the way Laini managed to build worlds and creatures in not too many pages but I didn't care too much for anyone but Mab and Esme.


Lips Touch wasn't something too spectacular for me but it was enjoyable. Laini's writing is very distinct, she has a way with words, always so colourful, you can almost taste the ripeness of the fruits and feel the nectar drip off the pages, that's why I loved the DOSAB trilogy.
