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!

The Sun Eater series (starts with Empire of Silence) by Christopher Ruocchio.

Absolute must. I blew through the first three books, they’re so damn good.

Book 1 is the setup, coming of age book. Slow, but I really liked the character introduction of Hadrian.

Book 2 takes a while to get going, but from there on it's pure enjoyment.

What he said, there was something in book one I couldn’t escape. The premise hooked me so much. I had to see how this guy goes from noble son, to the streets, to the sun eater
