A.D.D.
Is there any modern or not so modern fantasy out there that does not have over the top violence and swearing in it, but has mind blowing scenery and has magic but not used in a deus ex machine kinda way? I am trying to read The Last Argument of kings, but just not getting into it at the moment. I feel like reading something more fun that has action but doesn't explain how the guts fall on the ground and then the killer wonders if he should not have killed that innocent person or not. I guess I still like my fantasy light and not so gloomy and dreary. I have read the first 2 First Law books by Joe Abercrombie and A Games of Thrones, as good as they are I just don't want that historical feel. I want adventure and visiting strange and beautiful places with danger along the way, but not danger for the sake of making it a plot device. Any suggestions? Sorry for the rambling.
