A fittting ending
11 Nov 2004
By A Customer
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book pretty much wraps up the Skye books. This last one involves three cousins, each descended from Skye O Malley and bearing a striking resemblence to her.
First, there is Fancy,who is Fortune's daughter and a grand daughter of Jasmine.Fancy is a colonial who's husband has recently died under mysterious circumstances.The family has sent Fancy to her grandmother. Did Fancy have a hand in his death? Read and find out.
Next, there is Diana. She is a descendant of Skye through the Scottish part of the family, namely Jasmine's son Patrick and his wife(whose story is told in Just Beyond Tomorrow). Diana is the good cousin, a sweet girl, who sends her suitors away, with little damage done. She can not seem to pick which man she wants to marry, and pressure from her family(her father in particular) doesn't help matters much. It's a fun story.
Finally, there is Cynara, or Cyn. her father, Charles Stuart, jasmine's son by Prince Henry, wants her married, and soon, before she gets herself in trouble. Cyn already has her husband picked out, but he is reluntant to marry, so, she attempts to convince him that they are a perfect match for each other. Which could lead to diffculties if her family finds out.
All in all, a good book. not as detailed as Ms.Small's previous work, but then, that doesn't matter. This group of cousins are a delightful finish to a series that has fans everywhere.

And The Point Was What Now?
17 May 2003
By A Customer
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
I love Small's earlier works, and even some of her more recent books. But I've also thought she should have hung up her writing jock strap the moment Skye's Legacy was conceived. Vixens is an awful ending to an empty and disappointing series. And you know, out of twelve books about Skye and her decendants, Jasmine has a virtually starring role in seven. Whose legacy is it again?
Anyway, onto Vixens. The characters were so one-dimensional as to be blown over by a small gust of wind. Nobody had any real values or personality other than "fiery" or "sweet". The complex geneaology at this point in time is so ridiculous which is bad enough, but keeps getting recapped which is even worse. We have Fancy "oh, I don't want a husband, so I'll become the king's mistress", Siren "the real catch (Mick) is right in front of me but I'll entertain these twin dorks anyway", and Cyn "if you can't tell I'm the bad girl you've the brains of suet pudding".
Please. I'm glad I didn't pay for this drivel.

A mediocre end to a fabulous series..

In all honesty, I was disappointed in this book. I have been an enormous fan of Ms. Small's for nearly 20 years and have followed the exploits of the O'Malley and Leslie families with exhuberance. Unfortunately, I felt this book was very disjointed and inconsistant.
The three heroines were clearly 'labeled' at the beginning: the 'sad one', the 'nice one' and the 'spoiled one'. However, none of them bore any resemblance to their given labels. All seemed very shallow and very much alike. I was disappointed at how one-dimensional these characters were. It's very much unlike Ms. Small's usual captivating writing style.
If you have read the whole O'Malley series, then it does make sense to have some closure with this book, but I certainly wouldn't recommend it to a first time Bertrice Small reader.
