Keffria? Don't even get me started on her... I think I have successfully avoided a Keffria rant thus far...

Exactly. ^ That! RotE readers need to shed this "trilogy" and "now not a trilogy" thinking. It's just one, long bedtime story....one night Mum's tired so we only get a couple of pages, the next night she's overdosed on coffee so we get a couple of hours, the next night she's dead on her feet and goes to bed so we have to wait and mull/go back over the night before's story in our head...the size of the chunks of storytelling doesn't change the fact that the story is one story. Neither is the introduction of new places and people from that world....tonight Mum is going to tell us a fantasy story based on our Australian history and she's only going to tell about the 'Australia' part...the next night she's going to extend the borders and tell the 'Britain' part and how that meshes with our part...
Yup, all the same tale. If you miss a chunk, you miss a chunk of the whole telling eg you fell asleep while Mum was in the midst of a naval tale of swashbuckling proportions that linked significantly to the part of the story that you stayed awake the whole night for, three nights ago. Tsk, tsk.
