How depressing is it? The Mandibles put me in a dark place for a couple of days 😞 I liked it but it was heavy.

I tried to read the mandibles and couldn't get through it. It's too grim. Prescient, from the few chapters I did read, but godamn it's dark.
Three Body Problem is not a depressing read IMO although there are sections that are dark, like snippets of the cultural revolution.
