I wanna read something that's fucking brutal with fighting and sex and all the things, but also WELL WRITTEN (so NOT George R.R. Martin, I can't stand his shit). I want Lord of the Rings on crack and steroids.

The world and the story is interesting, but for some reason I didn't like how the book is written. Have only read the first book though, got the whole trilogy as omnibus, so will eventually get to the next two books.

While I enjoyed the whole trilogy, IMO the first book is definitely the best. If you didn't care for its style, you probably won't enjoy the other two.

They both have some DOPE set pieces tho
