I was given an ARC of this book for an honest review.  When I sent the notes I gathered during my read to Regan this is what I said...I feel that it should also be included in my review because it's the truth!My initial thoughts were - OHMYGOSH!  THIS. WAS. FABULOUS!!!!!!! WHEN WILL THE NEXT ONE BE OUT?!?!?!?!  But I don’t want to sound too much like a school girl so, I’ll stick with - Oh Regan, I honestly think you have a winner with Gathering Water!I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and simply could not put it down!  Despite my goal of taking my time and reading it slowly I read it from beginning to end in one sitting.  The story line is original and combines so many of the things that I enjoy reading (fantasy, fae-like qualities/characters, magic, and of course love).  This is a marketable book and that I feel that it appeals to more than one age group.Although I did find that the beginning of the story could have been sped up a little it wasn't too distracting nor did it cause me to lose interest or stop reading.  The story really came to life once Della took control of her adult life.  I loved the characters individually and together.  The chemistry between Dover and Della is tantalizing and appropriately written.  Their honor and respect for each other is perfectly developed.  I love the potential I see in them, not only as a team but as a couple too.  The cliff hanger had me yelling at my computer and I wasn't ready for the book to end, despite knowing that it was about to.Bottom line for me is GO READ THIS BOOK!!!  You will not be disappointed at all!
