I'm in Suneater. I'm assuming, from reading the main series, that there are novellas. There are considerable gaps between the books with references to battles/incidents that have occurred between the books that, I assume, are covered in the novellas.
And man... that first book is a slog. Then it really starts to pick up.

Most sun eater fans will vote howling dark and demon in white as the best, although I like simple origin stories so empire and kingdoms of death(dark!) were up there for me. The novellas are for the most part good and best read in order of the series. I have only yet to read tales of sun eater

Peter F. Hamilton's Night's Dawn trilogy is very good. (Maybe more space opera fantasy than true sci-fi if you're a purist.) Satanists in a technically advanced future open a portal to hell and the souls of the damned come through in hordes and possess living bodies. That's right, Al Capone takes over space.

Footfall for something really weird and Lucifer’s Hammer that is more mainstream. Both by the duo of David Pournelle and Larry Niven.

All systems red was good but too short for my liking. I was kind of surprised. Probably about 1 hour of reading. I don't think I will continue.

I'm about halfway through Red Rising. Was kind of a slog at the beginning but I'm really enjoying it now.

I just finished Sun Eater book 6 Disquiet Gods and it might be tied with Howling Dark as my favorite. It’s like he took the best parts of each of the previous novels and used them as the framework for this book.
I also read the novellas but not the Tales. I would rank them: Lesser Devil, Dregs, Queen Amid Ashes. It was cool to know the backstory from Lesser Devil for the character in Disquiet Gods.
I’m anxiously awaiting book 7.

I'm in minority but somehow had trouble connecting with disquiet gods. Looking forward to special editions coming out

as others have stated, i highly recommend Red Rising and Suneater.

Reading Gene Wolf's book of the new sun.. Which Suneater series pays homage. Trippy indeed

But you have to give the first book till @ least chapter 10. Thats when it really comes alive.
