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 liked the first book. The second was a trial, I gave up on the third.

And I like everything else she has written more than the first book of the Poppy War.

Babel and Katabasis are both also dark academia books and I love them both.

Yellowface is about being a writer.
