Tone and Mood of Inheritance

In the book so far , nothing really happy, has happened , there has just been battles and a lot of killing.Half the time it talks about goring a rival soldier or being stabbed in battle... I'm am going to say that the mood of this story is morbid. Every one is miserable. The have been fighting non stop to reclaim Alagaesia while they get little done. On the other hand, I will say the tone of the story is gruesome. Everything is blood or gore, killing vast amounts of petty soldiers or one on one duels with shades. Indeed is it gruesome. So far, that's all this book has been, but I'm only a third of the way through it, so I hope that will change.
