I haven't read anything by Bernard Cornwell (yet) either, so I'm afraid I can't compare that way. The violence involves torture and variously creative killing. Abercrombie is not known for glossing over uncomfortable things, so don't expect any cuts away from the gore. It's definitely R-rated. The sex is fairly graphic, though not frequent, and emphasizes the inherent awkwardness. Abercrombie's books tend to be very cynical, for what it's worth.
