Looking for "R-rated", gritty, gorey high fantasy books (lemmy.world)

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.

Wizard's First Rule is the only tolerable book, if barely. They're all thinly veiled (not thinly veiled) fetish writing, or high school level political theory.

At a certain point it's clear that Terry fired enough editors that the remaining ones stopped trying.

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.
