Robin Hobb's recent series have more explicitness. It was a surprise to me as she had not gotten into it her first 3 (I think) series.

Yeah it was pretty much expected for older brothers (and fathers?) to beat up their younger brothers to prepare them for war. When Inda was in "boot camp", they were always getting beat up by the older boys there.
The only Robin Hobb I've read in the series where the kids find and train dragons. They were all kind of outcasts from what I remember, so not treated the best.
