Quartered Sea, April 4 2008
By Omizu - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Quarters Novels Omnibus 2: No Quarter / The Quartered Sea (Mass Market Paperback)
I disagree with the review that stated that the hero in The Quartered Sea was weak and whiny. Huff shows her skill in creating characters with flaws that mature and come into their own at the end. Our Hero evolves through dramatic events that will leave you wanting to read more.

3 stars., Dec 20 2007
By AK "Bro" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Quarters Novels Omnibus 2: No Quarter / The Quartered Sea (Mass Market Paperback)
If you have become interested in Ms. Huff's works after getting hooked on her fabulous TV series, Blood Ties, and now want to track down the backlist, Daw is here to help your quest, reprinting some of her older, possibly, htf (hard to find), works and even making them more affordable packaged in a two volume set of two.
The first in this book, No Quarter, directly continues from the conclusion of Fifth Quarter, telling the story of a wizard's soul who has taken up residence and is sharing a body with a young woman as they search for a suitable uninhabited body for him so he will not have to kill to gain a new one, thus becoming subject to dire consequences. How all this is handled is done deftly and with hints of Ms. Huff's typical humor, though you should not expect this to be merely a rehash into an epic fantasy version of All of Me. The other half of the book contains The Quartered Sea. Though this one is somewhat disappointing due to the lack of a strong hero; in fact, he could be considered weak and annoying, the scale of the story and the fantastic worlds discovered on the voyage compensate somewhat for the lack.
As is usual with a series, especially in this genre, be sure you have read the first and all books prior to the current one, or face being lost.
