Gorgeous, rich language with an incredible mix of fairy-tale fantasy. The three stories are tragic, yet magical. Just enough realism to make the fantastic seem possible. Adore Ms. Taylor's imagination and writing talent.
First off all, I'll admit I can see why Laini Taylor gets a lot of hoopla and that this is going to be a long review.Now, my first encounter with Ms. Taylor's work was Daughter of Smoke and Bone, which to be perfectly honest did not live up to the hype. The writing could be off at times, a little to...
I think the main reason I gave Lips Touch a 4 star is because I felt like the remaining 2 stories just didn't live up to the first story. By no means am I implying that they're bad, I just didn't like them as much.I'd give Goblin Fruit a 5 star on its own because it is just perfect. Don't let the co...
I read this one back at the beginning of the year, after finishing Daughter of Smoke and Bone, and I really loved it. I'm not sure why I didn't post a review then.Laini Taylor has such a way with words. I just love the worlds she creates - they couldn't be written by anyone else.
I'M SUCH A SUCKER FOR FAIRYTALE STORIES LIKE THESE.This settles it. I really, REALLY love Laini Taylor's writing. Her style, her rich imagination, her fantabulous vocabulary and her crazy mixed-up plots. It's all amazing.I never expected this book to draw me in so much. It was /choked sob/ so beauti...
In this review I'm not going to tell you a summary of the three short stories. No, what I'm going to do is just tell you why you need to go to your local book store right away, so you can get this bad boy.Laini Taylor is so amazing, that everything in this book is quotable. And I mean every single s...
“Kizzy wanted it all so bad her soul leaned half out of her body hungering after it, and that was what drove the goblins wild, her soul hanging out there like an untucked shirt.”Ah….Lani Taylor is a lyrical writer, her words just flow and ebb like the ocean in the background calming and relaxing you...
There are three stories, before each story there are illustrations that tell the story your about to read. At first I thought this would ruin the story, but it actually helps create the world she's telling you about. example of illustrations: The Three Stories: Goblin Fruit Spicy Little Curses - I ...
This book definitely deserves five stars, but I admit to feeling a little bereft after reading. I honestly think it's the short story aspect, which, as a rule, I generally avoid. Short stories never feel complete to me. They feel rushed and unfinished. The first story in this book, although good...
