>As a finale to a (personally) beloved series, I'm left... satisfied but ultimately disappointed that whatever emotional pay-offs I was looking for, whatever FINALITY, was taken out in exchange for continuing the story in the future.

This was my take and it appears to be a common one among people with anything worth saying, he fumbled at the end but delivered something acceptable.
However, I'm unsure why you think there will be a continuation in the future. IIRC Will Wight does not intend to continue Lindon and Yerin's story. You might hope for some cameos in the future series, but as it is their story is over. They graduated Cradle, found a job in a cosmic CIA and made themselves a child. That's it. Their story's over.

By the way, one aspect I didn't see discussed is the final status of Lindon and his stuff. Throughout the books we've seen some snipets about strange and powerful beings of the universe, like the Mad King and his cloak made of a living cosmic monster, people using mighty weapons made out of weird stuff, etc. At the end Lindon becomes exactly that kind of person, ascending from Cradle and wearing fucking armor, weapons and utilities made out of Dreadgods he has personally slain. Those weird, powerful guys that create cosmic dangers? Lindon's one of them now. That IS some pay-off, although very subtle.

Anyway, whatcha reading now?

Women's rights were actually more elaborate in before the victorian era, as with the fall of nobility and the power that land-owning people had (including women) the women progressively became disenfranchised in the period of 1800-1900 (looking from European/American perspective).
