Looking for epic space operas (lemmy.ml)

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.

Audible reviews made it sound like a rehash of hunger games. Is that true?
