MWT's series is the best, for several off-the-top-of-my-head reasons. 1) I never know what to expect. I only know that it will be GOOD. 2) She takes her time writing them, and I think that says something positive about what she's trying to accomplish as a writer. I'm content to wait for something good. Three (related to one), while they look gorgeous together, each book is a different gem.
Another series-in-progress I have a lot of patience with is the Temeraire books by Naomi Novik. One doesn't follow too closely on the heels of the other, in terms of publishing dates, so when a new book does appear you can chew hard on it for a while without becoming exhausted.
I understand your frustration with trilogies, but those don't bother me so much as SERIES that were supposed to be TRILOGIES. *coughEragoncough*
