Lips Touch: Three Times by Laini Taylor
3.0
3 STARS
Laini Taylor's writing would always be the highlight in every one of her stories, whether they be novels or short stories like this one. She always brings that fairytale-like quality into her storytelling.
I basically have no complaints with this one. Objectively, I think this is the best short story collection I've read. But I don't solely base my rating on technicalities alone. I rate for enjoyment, and this one had a hard time grabbing my attention that it took me almost two months to finish.
That's about it for the 3 star rating. But other than that, the three stories in here are immaculate. All have significance with the word "kiss" - as the title dictates - but they're never cheesy. Woven with bits of mythology and Taylor's signature tragedy, the stories felt like classics themselves.
Anyone who's a fan of Laini Taylor would surely enjoy this more than I did.
"Kissing can ruin lives. Lips touch sometimes teeth clash. New hunger is born with a throb and caution falls away."
