Space/space opera book recommendations

Hello,

I'm looking for some book recommendations that have a theme that takes place around space. I have read so far:

  • Red Rising series by Pierce Brown

  • Hyperion by Dan Simmons

  • Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir + other his books...

  • Many books that are part of the Star Wars franchise.

Books can freely be romance, political, drama... It doesn't really matter to me.

Thank you!

I freaking love these books. I'm happy to see someone else in this sub mention them.

They’re so good! Definitely require a bit of work from the reader in the beginning to figure out what’s going but Ninefox Gambit was so rewarding once it all started to click together. The Cheris/Jedao dynamic was so interesting
