This book was so bleak that I had to put it down multiple times, and it took me an entire day to read it as a result.

There enough hints to see how it might end, and as a result I think this series might be a discussion on means vs ends and justifications.

Do you know if it's a duology, trilogy, or open-ended?

I do not.
