Just saw this, and glad you liked it, Caleb.
I'll answer a few of your questions, if you don't mind, without giving spoilers. The time shifts could have been handled differently, maybe a little slower, but I wanted to stick to the meat of the story and keep the pace fast. My one regret there is that a slower pace might have helped with the way a certain main noble changed.
And the key player, think about his trip to the King after the strike, when he states he's been somewhere else completely, and gained an advantage for the King in the coming war, that includes some magical and military help. Also the King was off, mustering forces at the time. As for how he/they managed the trip. That's secret squirrel stuff. :P Nah, it's hinted at a tiny bit. Very tiny that it could be missed. However, it's plays a big role in the magic and the plot, and is revealed more in the next one. Funny thing is, this very question on the travel is what starts the next book in the series.
