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.

    Lies of Locke Lamora is beautifully written gritty fantasy. Thus far there are 3 books in the series.

    I’ve never read the Warhammer 40K books so I can speak to the quality of writing, but the series definitely matches the genre of interest.

      The Gentleman Bastard sequence is fantastic, Lies of Locke Lamora hooked me so hard. Can’t wait for the other 4 books. Highly recommend it.
