I mean as far as the storylines that "didn't lead anywhere", we get plenty of self contained stories in the other sin novels too. They might well get little nods in later stories, all the same, and some of these twists are pretty obviously going to impact later novels. And this is speaking as someone who didn't like the main twist. You can't really say you can skip the novel and move on without losing anything when 1. We haven't even gotten all of the mines yet and 2. We haven't even gotten the next book yet to see what will be relevant and what won't.

I'm pretty sure all the worldbuilding and over-arching plot building, at least, will mean something, even if some of it left a bad taste in my mouth.
