Lips Touch: Three Times by Laini Taylor
5.0

What interested me most in this book was how obvious the author was. If they had made me read just one of these stories, even if just a part of of one of them and they they had ask me who I thought the author was, I would have said the author of [b:Daughter of Smoke & Bone|13528340|Daughter of Smoke & Bone (Daughter of Smoke and Bone, #1)|Laini Taylor|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1338060846s/13528340.jpg|13355552] and the truth is despite how much I read -and that's a lot!- I'm pretty dense about this. I mean there are perhaps a handful of authors who I could recognize and from all of them I have read more than one book, So I truly salute an author like Laini Taylor for being so unique, both in writing and the plots that I could see her handprint from miles off.

Getting past that, all three stories were wonderful, yet you could easily see that here she wasn't as mature in her writings that she would later become in Daughter of Smoke & Bone. There were glimmers of that magic, There were times when it shone through but it wasn't breathtaking like DOSAB. Still it's super interesting to see her finding herself in her style and voice.

Despite my intentions this review turned to be more about the author than the book, but what I can I say? I love her. I have half a mind to believe that she herself was either raised by the fey or is one of them. She is like magic made flesh and so are her books.
