Skye O' Malley is utterly charming.
I first picked this book up around five years ago and read it cover to cover in one sitting. I picked it up again yesterday and it's even better than I remembered. Small has created a strong passionate woman who isn't afraid to pursue the things that she wants. Which in the 1500's was not very common. My favorite thing about this book however was the fact that Small has absolutely no fear of things that most writers won't touch with elbow length rubber gloves, and a ten foot pole. Death, mayhem, sex, incest, by the end of the book Skye has buried three husband's and is amazingly successful. My kinda woman. Bring on the sequel.
