The second and third installments in Huff's Quarter series take place nearly twenty years after Sing the Four Quarters and expands our view of that world. Fifth Quarter begins with a pair of sibling assassins in the army of the Havakeen Empire. When they're sent to take out a target, they walk into a situation that takes them away from everything they've known and changes their lives forever, a story that doesn't really find a resolution until the end of No Quarter. I've decided that Tanya Huff...more

No Quarter pulls the first two books together and wraps up the Bannon and Vree drama. It's not bad - a quick read, and a more nuanced look at Shkoder (which is, incidentally, the single worst fantasy place name that I think I've ever encountered.) It's nice to get some closure, although I still don't really buy the central romance.
I liked this better than Fifth Quarter (which I liked well enough but not as much as Fourth Quarter). And I liked this one better because there is more action and a better understanding of how the fifth kigh works. I just really like the whole concept of the ability to Sing the elements.
This third book in Huff's Quarters series is an improvement on the previous angst-laden "Fifth Quarter", but still wasn't as much fun as the first in the series, "Sing the Four Quarters". "No Quarter" brings back the cast from the second book (Vree, Bannon, Gyhard, Karlene), and adds Magda & Gerek, the children of Anice who starred in the first book. It has a bit more humor than the second book, though is still a bit too full of wounded psyches for my taste.
Probably my favorite out of these books, have read it many times, just finished reading it again. And have added it to my 'to buy on kindle' list, now the paperback will be donated to my library!
Light fantasy, entertaining, easy to read, but not insulting the reader's intelligence.
i like this series, takes a while to catch for me but an interesting tale...

No Quarter (Daw Book Collectors) by Tanya Huff (1996)
Oh gosh, reading this after 10 or 12 years is a trip.
#3 Felt like endm all of 2's issues resolved well
Good story - I always love Tanya Huff's characters. This one's an old old favorite.
After the weakness of the first in this series, I almost never picked this up. I was glad I picked up the second two of this series--they are by far more entertaining than the first.
reread in 2007

"Born in Halifax, Nova Scotia: Although I haven't actually lived "down east" since just before my fourth birthday, I still consider myself a Maritimer. I think it's something to do with being born in sight of the ocean. Or possibly with the fact that almost no one admits to being from Ontario…
