The Quartered Sea Tanya Huff 9780886778392 Books

I first read this book years ago and hadn't been able to find an e-book so I could read it again. It was wonderful to discover it at last. Reading about Benedikt's journey was just as enthralling the second time around! If you haven't read any of Tanya's books before this series is a great way to start. Highly recommended!!

The Quartered Sea Tanya Huff 9780886778392 Books Reviews

Easy read would reccomend this to anyone who likes fantisy
I will now go back and read the first three books

☺
The hero of this story, and I use that term lightly, is not a likeable character. He's whiney, selfish, arrogant and absorbed by his own sexual needs. This does little to distract from an interesting story about a powerful singer of water and the manner in which the other bards band together to repair their fractured community. It is fine continuation of the four quarters series and most readers should enjoy it. Just don't expect to like or identify with the main character much.
Struggled to finish. Expected a better ending to this interesting series
An absolutely wonderful story! I really love this world. Tayna Huff's characters, unlike many others, have both good and bad points, and develope throughout the story. This is true for all the books in this series. I would recommend reading them in order as some of the characters apears in several books.
Another thing I really like with this series is the way sexuality is presented. Huff creates a world in withch this is rather fluid. In the series some of the characters have preferenses for one gender, but for the most part they swing both ways. As does Benedict. He is shown having sexual and romantic interests towards both men and women. In Shkodor and it's sounding countries, gender is generally of little meaning. Petyan is sligthly different, but sexuality here to, is fluid.
If you're like me and just want some standard good fantasy, but is tired of all the heteronormative and patriarchal worlds in the fantasy genre out there, then this is the series for you.
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.
I hope there is more to come
This is the first book I have ever read by Ms Huff and I willingly admit I was truly charmed.

Her writing is good enough (despite some minor plot inconsistencies and typos what are the editors at daw books paid for, I wonder?) and the story is interesting if not particularly original.

In this book Ms Huff shows off with two main skills
the first is the ability of building up a breathtaking tension such as it will not allow you to put the book down until you have finished it;
the second is her characterization Benedict, the main character, is a frustrating, self indulgent, self pitying, annoying, bothering, immature brat you soon care for. He made me scream with vexation because of his weaknesses Ms huff brings to life a man you simply want to give a good smack first and go to bed with after.
The other characters are well rounded, finely depicted with special mention for the main villain, a woman I simply wanted to throttle painfully and slowly to death.

Two flaws
the ending is too succint and brutal after building so much tension in the heart of your reader you MUST allow him/her to untie these knots with a satisfying, extended ending. this does not happen and i found myself staring at the last page hungering for some release.
Ms Huff, as nearly all of her she-fellow-writers is bold enough to write about same sex relationships and she does it with pleasant and commendable open mindedness.
Still she seems to be convinced that a gay character (and Benedict IS gay, after all) can feel at least sexual attraction not just for one but for every woman. Surely enough these are fantasy worlds, so the author is entitled to write what she likes about sexual habits, but in my experience most gay men are unable to feel physically for a woman (let alone ANY woman) whereas they MAY feel attracted to her mind.
True bisexuality is in my experience very seldom to be found.

This notwithstanding the liaison between Benedict and Bannon (a lovely character) is moving and touching and Benedict's proneness for physical contact with kigh (the elementals bards command) is teasing.

Because of the shocking brutality of many pages I strongly recommend no youngster be allowed to read this book
