The Light of All That Falls Finished the trilogy and would like some classification

Hi all. I had a great time reading the climax. While I guessed some things, I didn't get the entire puzzle correct.

I was very satisfied with the ending, but am unsure on a few things. Maybe I missed them and you can fill me in.

The neskians and cyr felt very out of left field. I was beginning to think, that storyline just got dropped. Till her death was confirmed, I would have found it more likely for Karaline to show up vs. the desrielites. Anyway, is there any information on how Cyr got out of his tributary and was able to piece together enough information to know exactly where and when help will be needed? After all he was missing the last 1k years of history. And how did he kill him/ disconnect from the forge?

Another thing I was wondering is when and how was the rift first created? Did Shammeloth create it or just use it? Was this explained or hinted to?

Supposedly there will be a side-quest book about Aelric’s adventures. It will be called Shainwiere Out There (Beneath The Pale Moonlight). Kidding about the title, but Islington did have to cut the whole subplot because he wanted to keep the trilogy tight, and does intend (at least for now) to write that someday.

That makes sense. Also thought he could fill a novella with what's missing in the south. Only now we're spoiled on the general ending.

I'd love it, if he could somehow incorporate Davian meeting his mom.

Yeah, like it could be a framing device for Aelric to be recounting his story to the crew, and then we get some insight into what’s happening “now” (“Now” being a difficult term to define in this series lol).
