I think a lot of the parts in that book that seemed to be all over the place would have later come together into something more cohesive by the end of the second book. It was supposed to be the first part of two books but he died before he wrote the second. Which is why I think there was much more to the plot and there may have been some more twists beside what was already revealed in the first.
