I have only read it once and that was in one sitting. As you've said, many of your implications become clear upon a second read. I just haven't gotten that far yet. Too much else to read (currently Shadowmarch).
That's only supposed to be true of the novels <wry g>. In this case, because it's clear at the end of Shining Court that they've undertaken the hunt that will once again give them the Summer Court, the end of Memory of Stone is supposed to imply the presence of Summer, the possibility of seasonal change -- and the survival of the artisan. That's all, really.
