Lemme know what you think of the Moon books. I read and liked them not too long ago but reading as they came out disjointed the story too much first time round. Much nicer now.
The Moon books are interesting in that they focus a lot on the interpersonal and political intrigues, rather than "OMG ITS A DRAGON". I am amused by the prevalent cultural mores against science and for cult based religion, as seen in the treatment of one of the sergeants wounds in book 4. ( and lots of other little phrasings, but that is the most obvious).
I find them a little slow, as even read in sequence, there are a few books in which "nothing much" really happens, as things as lined up for the next book. I also got a little frustrated with the last book of the "series", leaving so many open ended strings that I thought would be tied up.
I'll continue to read them, but they aren't on my BUYFIRSTNOW list, as I can count on being satisfied-but-annoyed in the pacing.

I hesitate to recommend Patrick Rothfuss when his book 3 of trilogy isn't out for quite a while but book 1&2 are both brilliant, pacing included.
