I didn't think it would be dark, I haven't read the blurb I'm looking forward to going in blind. Starting this tonight, really hoping I love it.

Exactly. The whole thing was just set up.
Take Mistborn, obviously you need to read the trilogy, but Final Empire is still an excellent novel in the first instance, definitely not just set up. I know that's a high bar... Haha!
