Lips Touch: Three Times by Laini Taylor
3.0


Goblin Fruit
"We must not look at goblin men,
We must not buy their fruits:
Who knows upon what soil they fed
Their hungry thirsty roots?"

Despite the fact that I really liked this story, I found it extremely short. I felt like the poem by Christina Rosetti was longer. And more eventful. But that is my whole criticism, because I was hooked enough to want to keep reading 400 pages more of it.

Spicy Little Curses

This one I loved. I thought it was going for a traditional fairytale curse, you know? The ones tha get lifted by true love or a kiss, or that sort of sanitized disney stuff, but no. Of course this wasn't that. I mean, is Laini Taylor we are talking about. She imagined [b:Daughter of Smoke & Bone|8490112|Daughter of Smoke & Bone (Daughter of Smoke & Bone, #1)|Laini Taylor|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1338613368s/8490112.jpg|13355552], which wasn't your typical YA. So obviously this short story was different as well. And beatifull. And very imaginative. And satisfying. I wasn't left hungry with this one. It ended when it needed to end, and it did so perfectly.

Hatchling

Of the three shor stories, this was the longest. Also the best, in my opinion. Laini Taylor managed to create such a wonderful universe in so little pages. Such interesting characters and relashionships and magic. I found this story breathtaking, complex, enchanting and absolutely absorbing. I would really love to see this wolrd expanded or these characters further developed. It is honestly, a fantastaic read.
