Sorry for the digression.
Tales of the Otori do sound like they could be good, I have added them to my reading-list, thanks.

I had to do some research to discover what inspired the digression, and now I think I know: Australian author, Asian themes. Otori is historical Japanese fantasy, Dark Heavens is contemporary Chinese fantasy (albeit using figures from Chinese history/mythology).
