Tales of the Otori by Lian Hearn? Apparently, this is a trilogy and I'm interested in knowing if anyone here has read these and whether you enjoyed them or not.

nope.

Good Good Good!

I notice you've had very good taste in books, Red...thanks for the suggestion camille! what are the books like? are they fantasy?

Hmmm....well I know you have good taste since you like Love in the Time of Cholera.

And yet I remain skeptical.

Just read Across The Nighting Gale Floor
but my family ahve the other two which I gotta read next..


In his black-walled fortress at Inuyama, the murderous warlord, lida Sadamu, surveys his famous nightingale floor. Constructed with exquisite skill, it sings at the tread of each human foot. No assassin can cross it unheard. Brought up in a remote mountain village among the Hidden, a reclusive and spiritual people, Takeo has learned only the ways of peace. Why, then, does he possess the deadly skills that make him so valuable to the sinister Tribe? These supernatural powers will lead him to his violent destiny within the walls of Inuyama - and to an impossible longing for a girl who can never be his. His journey is one of revenge and treachery, honour and loyalty, beauty and magic, and the passion of first love.

I haven't read these, but they sound quite interesting so I think I'll give them a shot. I saw book 1 in my local used bookstore so I'll grab it and give it a try. I'm open to many types of literature, it's just the best seller stuff that I don't care for much. This series is set in ancient Japan, so I'm pretty sure I would like the story.
