Why does that sequel's last chapter pretend the first book never happened?

Last month I finished a fantasy series where book two ignored the entire cliffhanger from book one, like the author forgot their own plot. The final chapter even reintroduced a character who died on page 214 of the first book, no explanation at all. I checked the publication dates and it wasn't a different draft or anything. Has anyone else run into sequels that just ghost their own continuity like this?
