3 stars.
Hmmm.. so this is just a bridging book with cliffhangers all over. The Serrano and Altiplano history was a bit of a surprise. At least Esmay and Barin finally got together.

It ends on a cliffhanger
This is an entertaining novel, with lots of exciting action, but you have to read the next book in this series in order to find out the resolution of the main conflict of this book.
I experienced this novel as an audiodrama recording with outstanding performances by the GraphicAudio actors.

This is part 2 of a reasonably good dramatization of the novel "Change of Command" by Elizabeth Moon.

I did it! I finished the thing. My.....this book was BORING.
Enough said.
Maybe I will finish the series, I have the next one, so it's a possibility.
