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