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.

I mean sounds like you want gore. if you wanted softcore porn piers anthony is the way to go but I can't think of something more brutal than gore. going to be interesting to read replies and see what else is out there.
