Line 12:
** Since he's almost always referred to as a slave, rather than by his profession, it's easy to miss that Fade, {{spoiler|secretly one of the finest metalcrafters alive,}} works as a ''blacksmith.''
* The choice of pictures for the cover of this book. Each cover represents a high-level use of each kind of Aleran furycraft. Furies of Calderon - Wind ( {{spoiler|the windmanes}}), Academ's Fury - Earth ( {{spoiler|the arms of Earth used to restrain Tavi}}), Cursor's Fury - Water ( {{spoiler|the two water lions sent by Max and Crassus}}), Captain's Fury - Fire ( {{spoiler|the firehounds guarding the Gray Tower}}), Princeps' Fury - Wood ( {{spoiler|the figurehead of the ''Slive'' bending over to pick Tavi up}}), and First Lord's Fury - Metal.
*** The British versions have symbols for what appears to be fire(Garm's Fearcrafting), Water({{spoiler|Max's impersonation of Gaius}}, Air({{spoiler|The air-lenses used to win the battle with the Canim}}), Earth({{spoiler|the Legionaires' defenses, on both sides}}), Wood, and Metal. The German covers [http://www.randomhouse.de/book/editionsearchresult.jsp?pat=jim+butcher&x=7&y=6&pub=1 are more direct]{{Dead link}}.
* {{spoiler|Tavi's [[Sword Sparks]] are blue and red, his family's colors and those of Alera itself.}}
* One would think that "Tavi" is a very weird sounding name. Or at least, that it doesn't fit in a world of [[Awesome McCoolname|Awesome McCoolnames]]. And it appeared as if Butcher was shamelessly rubbing that name in our faces for 3 books. Well, that was until the fourth book, where it was revealed that Tavi stood for {{spoiler|Octavian... as in Sextus-Septimus-Octavus}}. And then, bricks were shat.
