Heart's Blood: Difference between revisions

* [[Beast and Beauty]]: Anluan’s not exactly hideous looking, but his deformity doesn’t help his self esteem.

** Caitrin frequently comments on his good looks. The only time she really talks about his deformity is to say that his face is uneven (and the rest of him seems lopsided). She never says that he’s ugly.

* [[Break His Heart to Save Him]]: Anluan sends Caitrin away after she discovers that he cares deeply for her. {{spoiler|She later realizes that he’s trying to protect her from the upcoming battle against the Normans.}}

* [[Came Back Wrong]]: Nechtan's army didn't quite materialize the way he wanted it to.

* [[Find the Cure]]: After {{spoiler|Anluan}} is poisoned, she must find the antidote and brew it without knowing what kind of poison it is or where the antidote is written, all in less than an hour.

* [[From Nobody to Nightmare]]: {{spoiler|Muirne/Aislinn went from aide to apprentice to antagonist in a very short span of time.}} Her greatest achievement was pulling the latter off ''without anyone knowing it''.

* [[Great Big Book of Everything]]: Not really one book, but {{spoiler|Aislinn’s}} book and Irial’s botanical collection together include all the information relevant to the plot.

* [[Impossible Task]]: Anluan must get rid of the host, conjured by a spell he can’t find, with a counter spell that was seemingly never discovered.

* [[Jerk With a Heart of Jerk]]: Muirne. She’s rude and cold to everyone in the house. When she does choose to help out, it’s either because her bond to Anluan mandates it or {{spoiler|she has a devious agenda.}}

* [[Make It Look Like an Accident]]: {{spoiler|Pretty much every major death in Whistling Tor is made to look like an accident by Muirne. She would have gotten away with it if she hadn't tried to fire trick twice.}}

* [[Magic Mirror]]: Whistling Tor is filled with them. Some of them talk, some show the history of events on the Tor, and one even shows the viewer what the past might have looked like. Caitrin discovers one that, if she holds a document in one hand, shows the contents of the parchment with images.

* [[Odd Friendship]]: Rioghan and Eichri, councilor and priest, are constantly insulting each other and betting against each other. They fail at concealing their ghostly [[Heterosexual Life Partner]] status.

* [[Opposites Attract]]: Caitrin and Anluan, on the surface anyway.
