Luna: New Moon

This book is the definition of space opera. It's sort of a cross between a prime-time soap opera and The Godfather set on the Moon. It's about five families, known as the Five Dragons, who control five different mega-corporations on the Moon and their wars with each other. At first I didn't care for the book. I was overwhelmed with the number of characters (of which there is a three- or four-page glossary before the book starts) and the constant changes in perspectives among many of them. Somewhere after about a third of the way through, I got hooked into the story and found it a fascinating and engrossing thrill-ride. It's the first book in a three-part (so far) series that ends with a bang, but also leaves you hanging for the sequel. The book won the Gaylactic Spectrum Award in 2016 for positive portrayal of LGBTQ themes in SF/Fantasy.
