I haven't read _Moonwise_, though I did like the first Chanur book and fully mean to get back to the series.
A one-risk-per-story guideline strikes me as similar to comments at the 2004 Worldcon panel on exposition, about one "to be explained" at a time. Which half makes me want, as a reader, to protest that I can handle it, really!--but then I come to my senses and remember I'm reading for enjoyment, not to prove my intellectual chops. => (That's what work is for.)
