I feel you on so many books right now being super bleak. I don't love the grimdark trend.
I've been thinking about reading the Starship's Mage books for a while, are they worth picking up?
I think so at least, they are well written, the characters are good, and there is a warmth in them between people that is really good. I also really enjoyed the duchy of terra series that I've read of him, after having read 18 books by him I have to say I really enjoy his writing, it's not so complex, but entertaining and well paced, I'd say at least give one or two a try :)
