One thief, two queens, three countries, lots of politics, a touch of fantasy here and there, a little dark humor, interesting characters with interesting relationships, and ultimately very satisfying. It starts a little bleak (the main character gets his hand chopped off in the second chapter), but it ends happily while still being emotionally poignant. I strongly suggest it.
Reading it always makes me feel good, anyway. Hooray for comfort reading!

Insert theme music here.
I need a book with a happy ending.

Well, you've read it, but it's huge spoilers for people who haven't!

I seem to remember Modesitt's Towers of the Sunset had a romance element and a happy ending. *NM*

I was gonna suggest JS & MN as well. And Christie generally cheers me up as well, true. *NM*

Some of my favorite books, but you're spot on with your caution about Dragon Star. *spoilers*
