Looking for modern fantasy, but not the gritty, violent GRRM kind.

Any suggestions?

How about the "OP Is a Fag" series by GTFO?

For God's sake, your problem here is asking for "modern" fantasy. Read Lord Dunsany. Read Fritz Leiber. Read the Earthsea series.

GRRM is like the GTA of fantasy. Mature fantasy for mature readers such as myself.

Discworld.
Granted it's a parody, but it still fits the general criteria.

Anything else by Pratchett is also good.
