Of course, someone who knows the book will probably probably protest that the book should be labeled M or at least Parental Guidance - 15 with it's non-explicit but heavily led up to sex scenes and dubious morality shown by the characters.

Disclaimer: I am a re-reader so it's kind of hard to say when any of my books hasn't been read for the past 20 years. I can literally tell you the plots of most of the books I own barring anthologies (I can do the memorable stories game with some of those).
Feist & Wurst's Empire trilogy is still one of my top 10. There's something about the tangle of honor and politics and the kind of Japanese/Chinese -ish culture that makes it some good reading.
