Ingram

Queen Jelena of Shkoder has decided to start her reign by commissioning a ship to undertake the exploration of uncharted waters in search of the homeland of the legendary Dark Sailor. When disaster strikes, the bard Benedikt--who Sings only One Quarter, that of Water --is hopelessly stranded with no way to get word back to the queen. Washed up on the shores of a distant land, Benedikt is claimed by his rescuers as a pawn in their intricate and perilous game of politics and religion. Can this One Quarter bard find a Song that will let him survive without disturbing the precarious power balance of a civilization he barely understands?.

4.0�toiles sur 5 Best of the "Quarters" series, Mars 8 2004

Par	Anna Stanford (Long Beach, CA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

I think this is the best of her "Quarters" series. Benedikt is a bard who has an inferiority complex because he can only sing one quarter, water - never mind that he is the best who sings water that ever lived. He goes on an expedition to discover new lands, and disaster strikes in the form of a storm. He is stranded in a strange country, and soon finds himself embroiled in a political battle and in danger of his life. Tanya Huff is as good as ever. She puts you in the middle of the story and in the heart of the characters, and you feel and suffer along with the hero.

3.0�toiles sur 5 A good story, all things considered, Oct. 11 2003

Par	Jerry Abbott (Hillsboro, WV) - Voir tous mes commentaires

The main character works as an anti-hero. I didn't like his evident homosexuality--my own views in that regard are not liberal ones. But the story is interesting, the dialog natural, the characterization (usually) somewhat appealing, and the plot flows along smoothly, if slowly here and there. A far better book in this same general style is L.E. Modesitt Jr.'s "The Magic of Recluse." But The Quartered Sea is worth reading, say, when the electricity goes off in your house and you have nothing better to do.

Par Un client

This book was trite, with poor character development. And I could never really care for the main character. I was very disappointed. I enjoyed Sing the Four Quarters for the humour and character. The Fifth Quarter was even better. No Quarter was just okay. But, this book was just awful.
