No Quarter

Rating:
Summary: Great book, great series
Review: I doubted that No Quarter could possibly be as wonderful as Fifth Quarter, but I was wrong. This book is interesting, a real page-turner. The characters maintained their personalities, something some authors fail to do. The action was surprising when it appeared, completely unexpected at times. This is a thrilling book!

Summary: Just as good as Fifth Quarter!

Summary: Oooh what a yummy book!
Review: I first saw this book sitting on the shelf at my local wal-mart (go figure. wal-mart has everything). i read the back about fifty times before i finally broke down and bought it. i'm so very glad i did! i enjoyed the whole friggin' thing! i got curious about the implications made to Fifth Quarter and so, i went along my merry little way to try and find it. i did and i enjoyed both books so very much that i'm trying to get my grubby little paws on the first one.

Review: i found this book at the library at was hookd at the first page. i found Vree's and Gyhard's co-exictance, sigh, romantic. Vree's learning to trust and except her own emotions tought me how to deal with my own. I have recomended this book to several people and they have all come back to me asking fo more recommendations. Hope to see more people read Huff in the future, shes a great author

Summary: Just amazing...
Review: I love the character development and the changing relationships between the characters. Tanya Huff gives us a lot of action, suspense, and different forms of love: romantic, sibling-love, friendship, and love twisted by madness & bitterness. The writing is deep without being overtly philosophical. No Quarter is a fast-paced, edgy story about Gyhard, a man without a body of his own, sharing the flesh of Vree, the woman he loves. Vree is a former assassin, pursued by her brother, who wishes them to return to the army--and who wishes to kill Gyhard. And in the middle of this turmoil, an ancient, insane murderer walks, raising the dead around him. The old man still loves Gyhard, but the only way he could get Gyhard to stay with him would be to kill Gyhard and Sing his living kigh back into his dead body...

A truly excellent read.

Summary: Wonderful Sequel
Review: Keep in mind that this review is from someone who reads Regency Romances as well as SF&F, but if you are in the mood for a fascinating spin on the four-elements theme and a realistic look at what happens when cultures and customs clash, this three book series is for you. Not to mention the love story (which spans the last two novels), which keeps you on absolute tenter-hooks until the very last page of No Quarter. A bit melodramatic at times, but Huff's taut characterization and wonderful sense of pacing make you more than forgiving. Vree and Gyhard are *almost* my favorite pair of lovers - but they have to lose out to Tess and Ilya. Two thumbs sky high.

Summary: Great book, great series
Review: Loved it, loved it, loved it. My favorite out of the Shkoder series - and the rest of the series is equally good. My only complaint - what's with the cover art? Vree looks like Pat Benetar on one of her early album covers. Normally I love this particular artist, but . . . blech.

Summary: A yurning storyline
Review: What can I say, I love a good book. This by far, is a great book. I'm someone who reads Mercedes Lackey, Andre Norton, Garth Nix and Tanya Huff. Gyhard and Vree, quite possiably a couple who would die for each other if things ever came to it. Its a great suspense, Tanya keeps things in perfect unison with her stories, entwining the lifes of tons of well developed characters. Its definatly a page turner, and once I started reading her books, I was prone to go out and buy all of her others. If your in the mood for a well-written story, Tanya Huff is definatly the author to look into...
