Lian Hearn's Otori series, beginning with <u>Across the Nightingale Floor</u>. I am now in book two, <u>Grass for his Pillow</u>. I am nearly finished. I have the last book, <u>Brilliance of the Moon</u> in my bag and ready for when I complete the second book, hopefully, tomorrow.
I was entranced by the blurb describing a gifted young man being taken in by the clan's warlord. The book is so much more than that. I rarely read Japanese themed works, yet, this story is transcendent to that. It's a pleasant read with love and intrigue during a time of warring factions.
