Summary in progress.
-----
{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Fox, who holds her own on more than one occasion.
* [[All Myths Are True|All Fairytales Are True]]: Even [[Darker and Edgier|Sleeping Beauty]] shows up!
* [[A Man Is Not a Virgin]]: Jacob. Oh, Jacob. Kami'en also counts. ( {{spoiler|''He plans on bringing his mistress to his wedding.''}}) The usual unfortunate implications of this trope are lampshaded when Kami'en points out that his cultural custom of taking multiple wives gives his mistress the right to take other husbands. (She doesn't take to the idea.)
* [[Animorphism]]: Fox, who prefers her animal form {{spoiler|until she [[Green
* [[Another Dimension]]: The Mirror World is an alternate version of Europe with 1700's politics...cameras, railroads, and {{spoiler|airplanes}}. The primary mode of travel still appears to be horseback, though, and characters don't recognize modern guns or flashlights. Oh, and there's a whole range of supernatural races...
* [[Anti
* [[Back From the Dead]]: {{spoiler|Jacob is shot in the chest, actually ''dies'', and is brought back to life by Miranda two pages later.}}
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: Could also be a [[Downer Ending]] depending on which characters you actually sympathized with. Jacob {{spoiler|has managed to save his brother, but [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|he's antagonized both the Goyl and the Empire in the process]] and unwittingly ends up cursed.}}
* [[Brainwashed and Crazy]]: {{spoiler|Will}}, who nearly {{spoiler|kills his own brother ''after smashing through a wall'' while unable to recognize him.}}
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: With its relentlessly dark tone, heavily implied sex, constant violence, and creatures, this is not your average children's novel.
Line 30:
* [[Living Aphrodisiac]]: Played straight with every single one of the Fairies. {{spoiler|Jacob ends up "spending the night" with his ex-lover Miranda, even though he's rapidly running out of time to save his brother.}}
* [[Love Potion]]: Don't drink the Lark's Water.
* [[Mayfly
* [[Meaningful Name]]: Jacob and John Reckless. Subverted by Will, who doesn't really seem to do anything at all.
* [[Mirror World]]: ...self-explanatory.
