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.

Nothing wrong with liking what others don't. I just responded cause you said you don't get why it gets so much hate. Of course, you don't have to agree with the reasons.

BTW I just gave you a random example from my mind cause I read it a long time ago, maybe over 20 years or so. It's possible I don't remember it from the book but by some mention online. There were many other complaints about his writing though, but since you like it, and I don't even remember most of it, no point arguing over it. 😀
