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.

I'm with you, the ending of the 3rd book deflated me and actually lowered my opinions on the first 2 books. I'm curious whether the follow-up books do anything to fix it, but I can't find the motivation to read them now.

They don't fix it but they're good. Really enjoyed Best Served Cold.
