Lips Touch by Laini Taylor

3.0

"Believe it. Believe there is more to the world than what your own eyes have seen."

In Lips Touch are three short stories, Goblin Fruit, Spicy Little Curses Such as These, and Hatchling. They are all sort of a mix between Fairy Tales and Mythology.

I liked all three of them but I personally found that Goblin Fruit stood out the most, like who doesn't remember their first kiss, right? Plus the way that story was made reminded me a lot of fairy tales and I'm especially fond of these.

The writing was pretty but there's something about "flowery prose" that makes it harder for me to read. I mean, I love it when authors have a way of writing beautifully but "too flowery" is not for me.

Also what has been bothering me with the last two stories is that the author used quite a few words that are unknown (Indian/Hindu/Sanskrit??) to me and she doesn't make the effort of explaining what they mean.

That's one of the reason why I'm giving this 3 stars plus the writing style.
