Lips Touch: Three Times by Laini Taylor
4.0
Overall, I found Lips Touch to be a beautifully written trio of fantasy tales with lush world building and powerful emotion. Each tale was something a little outside the ordinary.
I didn't connect with the first story (Goblin Fruit) as much as I would have liked to. It felt a little over the top and unresolved to me. Still, the descriptions were lovely and the prose strong. It certainly kept my interest.
The other stories were rich and wonderfully imagined. Taylor has an incredible talent for creating a new world in just a few pages. I also very much admired the artwork and was pleasantly surprised to see it describe the story that comes "before" the main storyline we actually read. A nice touch. All in all, a very enjoyable (albeit dark, but I love dark) fantasy read.
