I hear you--there was a lot of violence in the story (not to mention the rape, but I've read much, much worse, so I did not find it too upsetting), and I can totally understand why it would disturb, regardless of how realistic it may seem. Actually, the violence did seem over the top--it was kind of amazing that Gabrielle was still standing (let alone alive) after all the physical abuse she endured. I hope she and the Conqueror went on a nice little vacay to Lesbos after that.
Don't mourn for NYC too much. If you lived here, you'd have to deal with $4000/month rents for postage-size studio apartments. In Queens. :)
