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.

Yeah Wizard's First Rule even had a decent stopping point at the end, iirc? That or by the third or so. Good enough read if you're an edgy teen.
