Keeping in mind that it's been a few months since I read the book, but from what I remember it was less that the stakes seemed small for the world and more that Kai didn't seem to have any personal connection to the stakes and consequently neither did I, and so the fact that he cared enough for a betrayal was a surprise to me.
