"No Quarter"
The 3rd book in "The Quarters" series, seemed to flow much better than the first two. Unlike the original two, which seemed to slow down in several places, "No Quarter" has a steady pace throughout the book.
The 3rd books involves several of the characters from both the first and the second book. And while it would be beneficial to read the preceding novels, I don't think it's absolutely necessary to read them to know what's going on. Huff does a good job of reminding (or informing) readers of relavent information from the previous books.
The relationships between the characters are balanced. The plot is compelling. The resolution(s) is believable and satisfying.

"The Quartered Sea"
Another great "Quarters" novel by Huff! When I first started reading it, I wasn't so sure, since it headed in a totally different direction than the others, but I can say I loved it! The main character has a steady development throughout the novel, and all the characters around him have lifelike personalities. The new society Huff introduces is well-developed. I really enjoy how Huff brings in characters from previous novels, but doesn't keep them as the main focus.
