Thats the opposite feeling I've gotten from people who rec Tchaikovsky. If they were just awful at describing things I'm willing to give them a try. Any one in particupar you rec to start with?

Tchaikovsky writes stuff that's squarely in the "hopeful ending that feels really earned" category to me - lots of harrowing stuff happens, but it's not because it's in love with being grimdark, it's because he's writing on an epic scale and it's about overcoming those situations.

If you're down for a really gripping thriller with wildly imaginative space worldbuilding, start with Shards of Earth; if you just want something quick to see if you actually like his style, try Firewalkers; if you're okay with vast tomes with a lot of harrowing shit but absolutely unquenchable spirit and hope and also you're intrigued by spider society, then go for Children of Time.

oh...? i might have to check this out. im always recc'ing the stone dance of the chameleon (ricardo pinto) because i swear to god, hand on my heart: the miserable grimy and gory epic grimdark actually does have a happy ending, you just have to slog through haha
