I've heard many great things about Guy Gavriel Kay, but I was just wondering: How are his books, content-wise? My brother is reading one of his books, and he said there was some bad content in it. Is that usual for Kay?

The only books of his I have read are the Fionavar Tapestry trilogy. They were memorable, well-written fantasy books (well, as far as I remember, they were well-written), but in one of the books--either the second or third--there was a somewhat explicit sex scene. Also, there is a character who is raped, though that is not portrayed in an explicit way, and I would say that the author treats the issue with appropriate weight by emphasizing how very damaging it was to the victim. Come to think of it, there are a some other (non-explicit) instances as well, so the amount of sexuality is a bit high, and the author portrays sex outside of marriage as a normal thing.

Hope that helps.
