Looking for epic space operas
Looking for epic space operas
I really enjoyed The Hyperion Cantos, and the first few Dune books I read a long time ago (may reread these now). Can anyone recommend some other books (or series) along these lines? Huge stories on an epic scale, space battles, cool future tech, etc.

I would recommend the Red Rising series by Pierce Brown. Every book takes place on a different planet with an amazing amount of character building and detail in the plot.
1st trilogy is great - highly recommend.
Couldn't make it through the 1st book of the second trilogy. Just couldn't care about most of the point of views.
The first book of the second trilogy was a bit rough, it felt to me that the entire thing was just giving backstory setting up the story. I did enjoy book 5 though.
Did you finish book 5? That one was a slog for me, and I enjoyed most of the rest (even if book 3 showed much of the strain of finishing the first trilogy, I never felt the pacing slip as much).
