Line 53:
* [[Genius Loci]]
* [[Gilded Cage]]: The orphanage.
* [[Girl -On -Girl Is Hot]]: Explicitly invoked by Vanity in hopes of {{spoiler|giving Colin the will to turn himself from eagle back to a young man.}} Also see [[Crowning Moment of Funny]].
* [[Go-Go Enslavement]]
* [[Great Big Book of Everything]]
Line 109:
* [[Secret Legacy]]
* [[Secret Test of Character]]
* [[Shout -Out]]: Many. There is banter mangling together the [[Lord of the Rings]] and [[Richard Wagner|Wagner's Ring Cycle.]] When Amelia and Victor are talking on {{spoiler|the ''Queen Elizabeth 2''}}, about what a young man wants, she rattles off something very similar to the "Roc's Egg" monologue from [[Robert A. Heinlein]]'s ''[[Glory Road (Literature)|Glory Road]]''.
** Also notable is one point in the second book when the Orphans need to get past a locked, magically trapped door and Quentin uses one of the incantations Gandalf used on the Moria-Gate. Nothing happens.
{{quote| ''Quentin:'' That would have worked if these had been dwarf doors.}}
Line 115:
* [[Shown Their Work]]: Concerning the gangs trip to Mars: "astronomers can figure out what year the scene takes place, because I established the orbital positions needed for a Hohmann transfer orbit".
* [[Show Some Leg]]
* [["Shut Up" Kiss]]: Don't tell a boy to put you down when you're both being held aloft by aerial spirits.
* [[So Proud of You]]
* [[Spank the Cutie]]: Amelia runs into this.
