Summary: She's back....
Comment: I could not put this book down. Beseiged is not like any of her recent books (Bedazzled, Betrayed, Deceived, Darling Jasmine, The Innocent) because the characters are more developed. Small still lacks the strength of her early books (The Kadin, Adora, Skye O'Malley) I cannot repeat this enough.
Fortune displays personality traits more reminiscent of Skye. Jasmine acted more like the Jasmine of Wild Jasmine. However, I found the character of James Leslie lacking the depth of the James Leslie in Wild Jasmine. I enjoyed meeting Kieran Devers.
In addition, the plot line was not as "cookie-cutter" as her previous recent novels. I was pleased with the refreshing change of pace for Small. I eagerly await Small's next book in the series. I am looking forward to see how Autumn Rose grows up.

Summary: No longer Lust's Leading Lady
Comment: I look forward to each new Beatrice Small book with extreme anticipation. I have especially enjoyed reading the continuing saga of the O'Malley family. However, since the original character Skye has died, her decendents have become quite boring (as compared to her). They no longer have the adventrues that Skye herself once did. I was especially disappointed that Fortune never did find out that Rory was her real father. That would have been reminisent of the Skye legacy.
With each new book, I find myself to be in less of a hurry to buy the book. I do hope that if Beatrice Small does continue with the series Skye's Legacy, she puts a bit more zest into the stories.

Summary: An Improvement
Comment: I have just started reading Bertrice Small recently and started with the Skye O'Malley series. I have enjoyed this family series. I get hooked on all the family and eagerly await each new book to see what this active, adventurous family is doing. There is not a huge amount of references to Skye's many other kids and their activities in this book. But it is still well done. You could very easily pick up this book and read it without having read the rest of this series (however I recommend that you do so.) The history details are always very well done and interesting. Ms. Small has taken her readers to Ireland and the New World this time. The O'Malley clan will soon be worldwide. Fortune is every bit like the free spirited women in her family and wants to find that passionate, true love. Her mother and father have gotten their backbone back in this book. It was refreshing to see Jasmine to take a stand again. The only thing that I did not like was the Kidnapping scene. It seemed incomplete or maybe a last minute thought (not very well developed.) The book could stand alone without that scene. I look forward to seeing a mention of Fortune and more family moving to the New World as the colonies expand.
