I seriously don't know what you're talking about here.

There are some HUGE MAJOR revelations in this one, beyond just the basic 
plot of the story, or the resolution Vlad comes up with at the end.

I would direct your attention especially to Chapter 10, especially in 
this regard. You may wish to review this interaction and reflect on the 
longer-term implications of the events in this part of the story.

To me, it's more important that each book tells an interesting story on 
its own merit than that we get major arc-plot advancements. I found this 
to be a very refreshing old-style Vlad tale; where he sees a problem, 
goes out and tackles it in his own way, and comes out of the experience 
a little wiser, and a little more prepared for what is to some next.

If every book were on the scale of /Issola/, with mighty battles against 
Jenoine and the gods and who knows what all, I believe the series would 
burn out far too quickly; and that would make me sad.
