Line 43:
* [[Coming of Age]]: A ''literal'' coming of age at the start of the book on Morrigan's eleventh birthday, then she gets "whisked away" to Nevermoor. The series deals strongly with her psyche, and her maturing and {{spoiler|learning to control her powers as a Wundersmith}} while growing up and making friends.
* [[Compelling Voice]]: This is Cadence Blackburn's ability, referred to in universe as being a mesmerist. She can steal, then make the policeman that comes handcuff themselves. This does lead to a [[Blessed With Suck]] situation, where no one remembers her except Morrigan {{spoiler|and the rest of Unit 919 once they receive the proper training}}, so she struggles to make friends. In addition, this ability makes her mistrusted among her peers.
* [[Constructed World]]: The story's world, at first glance, appears to be our own, with familiar elements like elections and cats. However, as the story progresses you realise that it takes place in a constructed world, with elements like [[Phantasy Spelling|Wunder]] replacing electricity, and a bidding system replacing job seeking. The city of Nevermoor drills home the concept of a constructed world, as elements such as knacks and gigantic cats are established.
* [[Cover Drop]]: All books in the series so far uses [[Scene Cover]]s, depicting events that seem cryptic when one glances at the cover, but actually takes place within the context of the story.
** The cover of the first book shows people jumping down the Hotel Deucalion with umbrellas for their Eventide celebration, saying "step boldly".
