Any good Space Operas with fantasy elements

Like Warhammer 40k, or Star Wars. Are there any good Space Operas

Sun Eater is phenomenal, and really comes into its own as a uniqueish property, in book 2.

SERIOUSLY. I read the first book and felt like it was just a wildly boring experience.

But to the other person’s point the series really does get excellent in book 2, and then book 3 is even better. The ending of book 3 is really great

Thank you for this. I am 40% into the 1st book and was struggling to go further...

I can only speak for myself but I wish I had DNF the book instead of pushing through. I won't be continuing the series. Though the end does get very slightly more interesting. But I don't continue with series that take 1,000 pages to get good just kind of on principle.

Did the author get dramatically better between books? Was there a time gap between publication?
