I hope you're wrong!
If by "overpompous" you mean that the authors spends more time with world buildig, that would be fine to me. There are quite a few things I would like the author to unveil about this world, customs, religions and races.

Does that mean that the first volume is standalone? Or the other two books close any plots started in the first volume?

The first volume was released free by TOR. Of course, starting a trilogy without the remaining two books wouldn't be nice. But there are ways to buy a lit or mobi version and convert it to lrf
Anyway, I got the 1st for free, bought the second one in an excelent promotion... But the third costas almost 24$!!! But I guess it's a matter of time until the price drops... It was released relatively recently and it's (or was) in the NYT best sellers list.
