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 think The Expanse is a pretty obvious recommendation.

I also really like the Remembrance of Earth's Past books by Cixin Liu, but I'm not sure I'd call that a Space Opera. It's a series, yes, but it is very unlike other long-form space operas.

I've heard the Expanse books are great, I watched the Amazon series already. Are the books even better?

I'm seconding the other guy that the books are even better! Plus they go past the point of the show so you'll be able to get more out of the world.
