Lips Touch: Three Times by Laini Taylor

---

Some of the most gorgeous prose I've had the pleasure to read. I really loved the first two stories particularly. The language in the first was particularly lush. I simultaneously wanted to rush through it driven by Kizzy's emotions, and to slow down and wallow in the words. I kind of wish it were the start of a full novel, although I can certainly live with the somewhat open-ended conclusion. The second story felt the most complete and satisfying to me plot-wise. The third was intriguing as well but seemed to have its strength in the world-building and cosmology and thus felt a bit more distant to me, though I still enjoyed it quite a lot, especially the ending.

All in all a lovely, beautiful, shimmering book.
