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.

SPOILERS FOR BOOK 3 HERE:

Yeah... I'm stuck on the idea of continuing, but the end of book 3 basically feels like instead of the world being a place that is mutable and changeable, it's instead a deconstruction of the concept of heroism and would rather say that people are themselves, that they can't be changed, and that the wizard has everyone dancing in his palm.

My friends say it continues to be good... But I got really attached to Logen and, surprisingly, Glokta. He might be my favorite character of the books so far and I kinda assume they are both gone? Makes it hard to want to keep going.
