There are a lot of fine Dune books. If you want to stay wit that. Or if not try Foundation Series. Not sure where you are but I think reading the Dune Series in time order is a great read.
Divine rivals duology by Rebecca Ross Sisters of sword and song by Rebecca Ross
The hunger games series by Suzanne Collins
Wish of the wicked by Danielle Paige
A drop of venom by Sajni Patel
The Prince of Nothing series (3 books) and The Aspect Emperor series (4 books) by R. Scott Bakker.
Try Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky.
Fantasy Authors: Jeff Wheeler, SA Archer, Brandon Sanderson, Neil Gaimon, Robin Hobb, Terry Brooks are some I like.Urban Fantasy: Hailey Edwards, Mechan Ciana Doidge, Charlaine Harris, Shannon Mayer, KF Breene, Kristen Painter, Molly Harper, Eric Asher, Jim Butcher.
Sci-Fi: Rhett C Bruno, JN Chaney, Terry Maggert, Michelle Diener
Dystopian/apocalypse: Mark Tufo, Bobby Adair, Glynn James, Nicholas Sansbury Smith
throne of glasspowerless
divine rivals (yet to read but would love to read with someone to discuss!)
The cruel Prince (maybe. Reading the ending of the 2nd book)
Once Upon A Broken Heart (Maybe. And also yet to read)
The Foundryside Series by Robert Jackson Bennett The Tainted Cup also by RJB
Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao
The Library at Mount Char (not really sure what this is classified as but it's the weirdest book I've read)
There are so many good books! For space opera, some good ones are John Scalzi's The Interdependency series, and Kate Elliott's Sun Chronicles, not to mention all the Murderbot novels and novellas by Martha Wells. For some exotic fantasy, you could try the Daevabad Trilogy by Shannon Chakraborty; and the Broken Earth series by N.K. Jemisin, all three of which won Hugo Awards.
Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert Heinlein is a must-read if you're a SF fan.
I Am Number Four! It's great! I read it, and then I told my two friends all about it, so they have basically read it too!
Fourth wing by rebecca yarrosCinder by marrisa meyer
Aurora rising by amie kaufman and jay kristoff
Lore
Anything by Michael Grumley. His series on the dolphins is brilliant.
The Lunar Chronicles is sci-fi, but also is based off of Disney princesses! 👑 🤖
The Foundation Isaac AsimovI read it years ago and still go back to it .
If you liked Dune, The Witcher, and Game of thrones - all high fantasy-adjacent with a strong political undertone (yes, I know Dune is technically sci-fi, but still), I would definitely try The Mistborn Saga/The Stormlight Archive Series by Brandon Sanderson, pretty much anything by Robin Hobb (Assassin's Apprentice is a good place to start), and The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss.
The Demon Accords series by John ConroeMontshire series by John Conroe
Zonewar series by John Conroe
Histories of Drakmoor series by Robert M. Kerns
Primogenitor Saga by Robert M. Kerns
Kutherian Gambit Series by Michael Anderle
have you read the Hobbit or Lord of the Rings (J.R.R. Tolkien) ?? those are epic fantasy, rather like the ones you named. if you'd like to try more hard scifi epics, someone suggested the Foundation books (Asimov) already, but I'd also say you might like The Expanse (James S.A. Corey). all of those are kind of on the grand epic model like Dune & GoT.
tusks of extinction, omg, that book was so cool
I recommend the Neverending story by Michael Ende, more fantasy than Sci fi
Brandon Sanderson is strong recommendation. Just finished listening to Mistborn, this weekend. I would recommend it. Listened to the first two Stormlight Archives books. Super long but they are rewarding in the end. The Expanse is also a strong recommendation. Im working my way through them as well. Very very good science fiction.
For an off the beaten path, would recommend Gardens of the Moon, by Steven Erickson. Its based on a seriously involved Tabletop Role Playing Game campaign -probably D&D, but I don't remember - the author and his friends ran for years. Erickson might test your powers of concentration, there are a lot of characters.
Erickson's series is called Mazalan Book of the Fallen was published during the same time Martin was writing the first four books of Thrones.
If you want to ramp up your hard science fiction? Peter F Hamilton. Pandora's Star. Commonwealth Saga about an alien invasion.
check out T. A White's Firebird Chronicles series
Omega Revolution by Brent Grammer was an incredible sci-fi read, no fantasy but definitely a great read! :)
«The princess bride» for fantasy. There's no better book in the genre. Also, anything by Moorcock. Pretty cool writer.Sci-fi: anything by Philip K. Dick. Moorcock again («Dancers at the end of time» or «Behold the man»). «Book of Skulls», by Robert Silverberg. Anything by Alfred Bester, Fredric Brown, or Stanislaw Lem. And... «Dangerous visions». Brilliant anthology by some of the best sci-fi writers ever.
The War of Lost Hearts series by Carrisa Broadbent is really well written and unique it starts with Daughter of No Worlds. Throne of Glass series is amazing, but super long.
I can not recommend Carve the Mark, or any book by veronica roth enough! She is a great writer.
I have read all The Game of Throne books. Then I found I am Number Four and was delighted to read a three dozen more books in that series.(some small like pamphlets. ) I enjoyed all the Ender series and the four books starting with Divergent, I thought I was finished with sci-fi but read my favourite-Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir. I am not usually into sci-fi, but I got sucked in!!

Pendragon is a really good sci-if/fantasy series with 10 books! In the simplest terms it has planet hopping and time hopping. The main character has a ring that allows him to find portals to save other worlds. Also Divine Rivals is my current fantasy fav of the year. It’s giving studio ghibli’s Howl’s Moving Castle with maybe Princess Mononokee? Honestly I just really liked it because it was so visual. It has light moments of young romance but dark moments of the frontlines of war.
All of "A Court of Throns and Roses" series. All of "Shatter Me" series
All of "Vampire Academy" series
Ararat by Christopher GoldenMan, Fuck This House by Brian Asman
I enjoyed the Throne of Glass series and am enjoying the Crescent City series both by Sarah J. Maas. Also like Rebecca Yarrow's Empyrean series as well.
Daughter of the Deep was great but I believe it fits 12-14 y' readers
These Broken Stars. Sci-fi. Most likely enemies to lovers and He fell first and harder.
check out Sue Denver's Werewolf for hire series.
A Rip Thru Time series by Kelley Armstrong ...detective is getting strangled in the same spot another girl did 150 yrs ago and gets transported into the other woman's body. Detective/time travel series
powerlessThrone of glass
Six if Crows
The Mortal instruments
The Cruel Prince
The infernal devices
Clockwork angle
And if ur not looking for magic n stuff it's not a si-fi either but I may like it:
Evernight by Claudia gray
it's a vampire type of book from what I remember
The classic anthology "Earthmen & Strangers" by Robert Silverberg. Still living author (89 now), once indulged answering me on email a little on this book, nice, helpful gent, give his book a try (given he is one of the lucky few writters who make a REAL good living out of his writing, not so much that he needs it a lot to eat, but again, real gent, he deserves all buys and reads of his stuff, written and collected).
