I would agree with Hossgal that Moon's later work is better. The Paksenarrion novels are a bit paint-by-numbers; I rather prefer the space operas she's been writing more recently. Still lots of military detail, still interesting female characters, with the occasional misstep (there's an entire novel about evil patriarchal misogynists kidnapping beautiful blonde rich girls for breeding in there).
But the Familias Regnant series and the ongoing Varta series do have some good stuff, and the writing is rather less clunky. I liked Remnant Population, too, although I haven't gotten around to reading Speed of Dark.
