Too bad so much "dark fantasy" isn't about overcoming the evil within, but rather about how awesome gratuitous rape and murder is.
None of the books I mentioned have gratuitous rape. The Game of Thrones show blows up what is actually written in the ASOIF series. Honestly, I was shocked at how much the writing staff put in the show.
Murder? I don't think murder is such a big deal. Whether the hero dies defending a village from an orc hoard or in the back alley of a city, who cares? As long as it lent to the development of the story.
