Battaly and Zagzebski are probably the most clear-headed proponents of virtue epistemology and the way that they use virtue ethics to do it is inspiring. I don't agree with them entirely, but I see the vision. The book kinda lost me with Hurka's deontologist/consequentialist uses of virtue, which seems to miss the point entirely, but alas that's the world we live in. I'd be inclined to say the same about the Virtue and Emotion section, though Coplan's treatment of arational actions as actions for reasons (but not really) seems like a proper use of Nomy Arpaly's argument for that same purpose, even if she doesn't use it.
