Just started the first book, and seems kinda shit. Or maybe is just the grimdark setting?

Is it worth continuing or is it just over hyped?

Edit: I decided against my better judgement to finish the book, it indeed was shit.

I can't speak to the Poppy War but her Babel was the most disappointed I've ever been by a book.

Wow, I loved it. Her stuff is really polarizing.
