It's not hardly a discussion if you don't break my layout!
That sounds like a really fascinating series.
Are either of you familiar with Barry Hughart's series about Master Li and Number Ten Ox? The first one, Bridge of Birds, is one of the most perfect fantasies - in its way - I've ever read. The sequels aren't quite as good. (If BoB is an A or A+ book, The Story of the Stone is a B- and Eight Skilled Gentlemen is a B+.)
