Ok, now that I've confirmed that I believe this author has skill, on to the review....
Change of Command was not as satisfying as the first two books and ends right when things were just getting interesting. The book spins several different subplots and has the reader constantly wondering when Esmay (main character from first two books) is going to jump into the plot. This never really happens in this book. Being a 3rd book in a series, I expected the story to revolve around the previous main character. Instead the story is around Brun, a character from the 2nd book. Esmay simply occupies one of the sub-stories that are in this book. This is one of the two main criticisms I have of the book. The second criticism is that the book ends.. just ends and the reader is left thinking, "ok, what was the base story that this book was about?". The two previous books in this series had a prime story (and substories as well). Instead, it looks like the 4th book is very well setup now to have a great prime story and that this book just served to set it up.
Basically, I get the feeling that Change of Command was pushed to publication before it was ready. It has the basic meat of a good book, just not strung together well (in my opinion of course). I think that Elizabeth Moon is an excellent writer and would like to see more books akin to her previous writings.
In fact, I'm off to buy the 3 books that take place in this universe before "Once a Hero" right now.
Enjoy!
