Recomendations for somewhat more uplifting epics?

[Anonymous No.21252644]

I just finished this shortly after reading through the lot of Dune worth reading (and also Heretics and Chapterhouse), and while it was all very nice, it left me wanting a story that was not about the heroes being irrevocably doomed to die miserably in a tragic end they knew was coming because someone in the cast knows the future. I mean, I knew where Arthur was going, obviously, and there's nothing wrong with that type of story, but I kinda feel like a change of pace for something more fun. I've read everything in recommended reading already.

Preferably something finished or by someone who's not going to take two decades to release the next book.
