Hello, the title is a bit of an oxymoron but let me try to explain what I'm looking for in more detail:
I'm searching for books that are mainly dark fantasy or grimdark, where many terrible things happen throughout the story but with a hopeful outlook, a shining light in the dark.
I've read online that "malazan" and 'between two fires' appear to embody this exact feeling, so I'd like to check them out sometime. Another one is berserk, which I loved, but sadly is incomplete.
If it's a series, I'd really prefer if they were finished, it's a massive letdown if I went through an entire story only to wait before reading more.
Any more suggestions would be great, thank you in advance!
