Book of the long sun is pretty solid. It has a fairly similar arc, it follows a preacher in a polytheistic closed society on his road to power and, really, enlightenment as to the nature of the world he inhabits.

Its like Book of the Long Sun in that it "shows" far more than it tells. Really, I don't think there is really ever much in the way of expeditionary dialogue - its left to the reader to glean a number of things going through. As with Book of the Long Sun, a semi-working knowledge of ancient cultures, especially their religious and civil hierarchies, will go a long way in keeping people's titles and positions straight.

I'm also fairly certain that both New Sun and Long Sun cohabit the same universe, as there is a reference in New Sun to a character in Long sun.
