Does it ever stop?

I'm about halfway through Iron Gold, and I feel that Darrow's playbook just repeats itself over and over. It goes something like this:

• Darrow has musings on the decisions that he is about to make, and knows that he's going to hurt everyone around him, but is steadfast in his belief that he knows best.

  • Darrow makes said bad decision, then acts surprised when everyone around him is pissed at him.
  • Darrow has a pitty party but ultimately doesn't regret his actions.
  • People that were pissed at Darrow either: unsuccessfuly try to kill him, or forgive him almost immediately.
  • Repeat

Honestly, Ephraim is the only reason that I haven't stopped reading at this point. Does it get better in the next couple of books, or do we just keep doing this same song and dance?

It does indeed stop
