Re: OT: good fantasy books
I think you misjudge Martin, Edi.
The world he writes about is violent, and the fact he does not gloss over it is one of the things that make him a great writer. The fact that being a main character is not a guarantee if surviving does not mean he's "run out of ideas", just that for a while he told the story from the point of view of someone who doesn't live to see its end.
Also, I don't see how you can say Martin has too much rape and torture and then list Prince of Nothing as "good fantasy".
