I remember being confused by the disconnect between the two books, but as I read them in the reverse order, Hunt Down the Prize set my standards for the series. I wasn't as fond of Knee Deep in Thunder because I kept finding things that should have been in the second book and weren't and didn't want to be mad at the book that I'd read and enjoyed first.
Please go ahead and post about these. I don't have time to reread them just now, and I'd want to before writing about them because my memory is vague and fragmented.
The third book was published well after the edition of the first two that I originally read, so it's quite possible that it hadn't been published when you first read Knee Deep in Thunder. I don't think that Deepest Roots ever came out in a library edition, just the trade paperback, so it's quite likely that many libraries never added it.
