Line 11:
* [[Animorphism]]: Fox, who prefers her animal form {{spoiler|until she [[Green Eyed Epiphany|sees Jacob kissing Clara]]}}.
* [[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.

* [[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.
