You definitely need to read Revelator. I did not find the ending depressing at all but it's open-ended in a way where how you take it depends on what you want for some specific characters.
The Amulet is a gleefully gruesome black comedy. The ending has a really depressing aspect but also a triumphant one, so... again, ambiguous depending on your own point of view.
No matter how you read them, neither has the grimdark feel of The Sundial.
