Psalm for the Wild-Built is the only Chambers I've read (on my mother's recommendation). It was a weird reading experience, sorta like being sent somewhere with no phone, no internet, and no clocks, and being forced to experience the world directly, at whatever pace it chooses to happen.
Yeah, it's very much a matter of taste. I've found that I love Chambers' style (and all of her books are at least somewhat like this), but I know folks who can't cope with the sheer plotlessness of it.
Prayer for the Crown-Shy is a very direct sequel (starting maybe a week later), and is in much the same style. I think of it as finishing the story -- not by any means conclusively, but IMO it brings the thematic exploration to a good stopping point.
I just saw a TV trailer for Elsbeth. I didn't know that it was connected to The Good Wife (which I've also never seen, but parts of it were shot in my neighborhood).
Elsbeth has been a recurring character throughout Good Wife and Good Fight (which is a sequel, with a lot of overlapping characters). I'm not sure what to expect from her own series, but she's consistently been a delight (if a bizarre one) throughout, so we'll probably watch it once we're through watching The Good Fight (which we're in the middle of).
And since you have read the story but not the show, it's the other way around for you: Elsbeth is a good deal like Mooncap, in ways both fun and occasionally disconcerting.
