I have to disagree with the many reviews accusing this book of having too many plots and solving none, which almost got me to put off ordering it until the next book in the series came. That would have been a mistake.
True, the book is full of plots, and many of them are just setting stage for a sequel. But in setting stage, the book does build things to satisfaction.
We see a view of the Compassionate Hand that suddenly make them look like the good guys. We see Brun finally maturing, developing herself into someone that will, I predict, become very important in _directing_ events, instead of being caught on them. We see Luiza and Barin finally maturing their relationships, and also maturing into more senior officers, that will be throughly needed in the future.
The main plot, who killed Brun's father, is indeed solved in this book, as are the matters of retribution and dealing with his successor.
Now, this book does leave the familias in shambles. Leaderless, with a serious mutiny in his hand, and beset by division in the familias. It also leaves Luiza and Barin in a tight spot in their relationship, this time by no fault of their own. The stage set in this book definitely leaves one eager for the next. I think those who criticized this book were just too enthranced by this stage to recognize this book's internal plots.

Moon is great
As always, Moon delivers a very well written page turner with a strong female protagonist. I can highly recommend this!
Elizabeth Moon is a favorite author of mine and I looked forward to the next installment in this series but.... I found the book to be confusing, sluggish and distracting.
Not enough time was spent on any one plot and I felt cheated that I didn't get more out of one thread through the storyline. It was a bit overwhelming to juggle all the scenarios and keep them straight. At times, I lost interest.
I frequently re-read Moon's other books because the writing is so strong but this novel fell flat.
Excellent
Elizabeth Moon is one of my favorite authors(Anne Mccaffrey being THE most favorite).This series is one that gets better and better as they go along.Her characters are well thought out and she makes the reader care about what happens to them..The story lines flow from one book to the next,making you want to continue on,if only to see what happens next..We need to see more of Elizabeth's writing!This whole series is wonderful
The disappointed tone of many of the customer reviews of C of C come from a misunderstanding of the genre of this particular volume. It is an *Expansion of the Canvas*. Think of "Two Towers," where the trick is performed to perfection. A lot happens, many new characters appear, but not much of the overall action advances. My own opinion is that Moon doesn't do a bad job at all. What generates the disappointment, I believe, is a feature she shares with others who learned much of their craft at the feet of Anne McCaffrey, a certain mechanical tying of loose ends. McCaffrey herself is really bad about it. You can almost hear the click click whirr of the Hollerith cardsorter. "We haven't tied an end for a while. What shall we tie? (Click click whirr) Ah so (copy card contents. insert.)" By comparison Moon is artistic. But face it. At some point she *had* to expand the canvas.
Chronologically this novel is a sequel to "Rules of Engagement," but in mood and orientation it is more a sequel to, "Winning Colors." Very little of the book is devoted to the continuing adventures of Esmay Suiza in the Regular Space Service. Like "Winning Colors" it is mostly devoted to the maneuvering within the Familias Regnant. I enjoyed the character development and insights into the government of the Familias, but there is very little military action/adventure. The mutiny on Copper Mountain had some good action and this novel did set up the civil war within the Familias and the Regular Space service for the next novel.
