I will begin with stating what a big fan I have become of Trish Dawson's work. Each and every story she writes, I believe she pours just a little bit more of her soul into over and over again. It makes a person wonder just how much more she has left to give and then...she goes and does it again. This book was definitely no different in that fact; however, it was very much different from all of her other novels...just as each one is. I absolutely loved this book and actually took my time reading it so that I could process each and every detail. Which is something that I do not normally do. The storyline, characters, setting, every detail was like a fine piece of chocolate that you let melt in your mouth to savor the moment. There were so many different aspects that I can appreciate about this novel...too many to list in fact. So I will just state enough to get a reader interested and hooked...*giggles*In the beginning of the book I was a bit hesitant due to just how different the lives of the main characters, Hutch and A'ris, were that I wondered how their lives could possibly intertwine. That was soon revealed as I read on and because totally engrossed with finding out just what was going to happen next with the rebelling princess and roaming pauper. The plot thickens when they meet and find out their destinies are truly entwined and reluctantly join forces to complete the princesses mission...rebel against her father, the king. Throughout this love/hate relationship they develop turns into so much more, proving that opposites truly do attract. So many twists and turns go on throughout this adventurous and heart wrenching story that will leave you falling off of the edge of your seat once the cliffhanger of an ending finally does hit. Which, for the record, I am completely unhappy with due to the fact that I now have to wait too long to find out what happens next. Tomorrow wouldn't even be soon enough.I will close with this..The Dry Lands is truly a work of fictional art and is definitely going in my favorites collection. Job well done Trish Dawson!
