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.

Might I recommend the Night Angel trilogy by Brent Weeks?

Not too gory IMO. Nemesis, the new one, is a real brain bender though.
