Hello! I am really enjoying Fantasy books but sometimes they can be bummers and I would like some recommendations for books/series that ultimately have a happy ending. What I mean by happy ending doesn't mean nobody dies. But the main character, and if there's a romance in it, the romantic interest as well don't die and get a happy ending. Its okay if some side characters die. I enjoy the first Mistborn novel a lot and am working my way through Sanderson. I also enjoy A Wizard of Earthsea, Pawn of Prophecy, and I'm enjoying the Wheel of Time as well (no spoilers please). Thank you all for your help!
Edit: whoops I can't fix the typo in the title

The Traveler’s Gate Trilogy by Will Wight. Magic is used by calling energy and creatures from other worlds called territories. People who can draw from their territories are called travelers. The first book in the series is House of Blades. The series has a happy ending, but is a very dark opener.
Check out Kristin Cashore, starting with Graceling, which can be a stand-alone book although there are sequels set in the same world. Graceling is such a fun read.
Also the Tiffany Aching series by Terry Pratchett. I used to think I didn’t like Pratchett, but Tiffany and the Wee Free Men changed my mind. The audio books are amazing.
Diana Wynn Jones is also one of my favorite fantasy authors. The Dark Lord of Derkholm and its sequel, the Year of the Griffin, are fun and magical and full of whimsy. Her Chrestomanci series is also fantastic, and really, you can’t go wrong with any of her books.
