The books get progressively more depressing, just give up hope for an even mildly hopeful ending and you're set. If you want more positive fantasy I wholeheartedly recommend Terry Pratchett.

Going through the later Tiffany Aching books, which I hadn't read before. Currently on the fourth and I'm enjoying them. But this book did take some darker detours. A 13 year old girl heavily beaten by her drunk father, terminating her pregnancy. Doesn't pull punches even though it was supposed to be for a younger audience.

Why not pick up Guards! Guards! or Small Gods?

Shades of Grey - Jasper Fforde: You know those mediocre YA series about oppressive dystopias based on peoples skin or eye color or some other bullshit? These books with boring edgy teenagers with an unwavering resolve to dismantle said improbable regime and blah blah blah... Hunger Gayms and Red Grinding and the like.
How'd you like an actually entertaining color dystopia book? One with an adult main character who just wants to get a job and maybe find a wife. And an actually interesting dystopian regime built not on an evil ruling class, but on simple blunt bureaucracy. Well this is it.

Comfy!

but you could pick up any of these, as they're all self-contained stories.

You don't need to read anything else, not even Pyramids, especially if you read the first book, as the book is set some time before the other books and is separate. Most of them can be read as standalone, even when they're in a series, though it is a little clearer if you follow the order of the main character groups.

HERE YOU GO.

You could just set your preconceptions aside and give one of these babies a go. Who knows, you might be pleasantly surprised.
