Silverwing (novel)/YMMV

"Griffin: But I wasn't brave! I'm not like you. I'm a coward. Shade: No. Griffin: I was always scared. Always. Shade: That's right. Being scared but doing it anyway. That's brave."
 * Alternate Character Interpretation: Scirocco. Does he genuinely believe that banded bats will turn into humans or is he a Well-Intentioned Extremist trying to protect bats shunned because of their bands with soothing lies? Or he is tricking other bats with his sound tricks for his own ends?
 * Then there is Cama Zotz.
 * Crowning Moment of Heartwarming: In Firewing, this conversation between between Shade and his son, Griffin, just before  Qualifies as a Tear Jerker and So Proud of You as well.


 * Draco in Leather Pants: Goth sometimes gets this treatment.
 * Magnificent Bastard: Goth is occasionally seen as this, due to his manipulative tendencies and inability to stay dead.
 * Cama Zotz as well.
 * Nightmare Fuel: Project X-Ray in Sunwing, responsible for the Humans Are Cthulhu trope. Also Truth in Television; see The Other Wiki.
 * Not to mention the implication that
 * Goth and the cannibal bats in general are Nightmare Fuel.
 * One could point out countless examples in Firewing, but in the end, the whole book is pretty much this. It is Hell after all.
 * Cama Zotz himself is pretty frightening, both before and after we meet him in person.
 * Tear Jerker: Try reading the end of Firewing without crying. Just try.
 * Arguably a villainous one in Firewing. Goth trying to pull himself out of the mud so that he can meet his fate with dignity has been known to induce Alas, Poor Villain.
 * What Do You Mean It's for Kids?: The book might be marketed to middle schoolers, but the series has scenes of cannibalism, ritual sacrifices, and suicide bombers
