The Acts of Caine/YMMV

Ass Pull: the ends of Heroes Die and especially Blade of Tyshalle may seem like this, although they do make narrative sense. However, it's notable in that both are about a model of destiny where expecting events to spin out of your control is not unnatural but normal and to be expected.
- ... what? I'm supposed to believe that Shanna can both regenerate her own body and channel neutron bombs into an inter-dimensional barrier, yet can't heal Cane, makes 'narrative sense'?
Complete Monster: Berne, Kollberg, and the Board of Governors (by extension of the Blind God, most of humanity).
- But especially Berne.
- Some could make the case for Caine/Hari being one, seeing as how the man helped start a war to essentially help the ratings of a reality television show.
Crowning Moment of Awesome: Quite a number; we'll have to move and expand the existing entry.
Idiot Plot: Lampshaded by Toa-Sytel when he realizes that Caine is an Aktir.
- Justified with Ma'elKoth because he's Ambiguously Gay and may or may not have been madly in love with Caine.
  - ... what? Falling in love/obsessing with Caine makes him even more of an idiot.
- Although Pallas not realizing that Lamorak turned her in doesn't have much of an excuse. She even considers at one point that that might have been what Caine was going to say, but dismisses it because Good Is Dumb.
Jerkass Stu: Caine comes dangerously close, but then he falls in love and becomes fiercely (and I mean fiercely) devoted to his family. Getting badly wounded on several occasions and crippled once tends to avert Sue-ism as well.
Magnificent Bastard: Ma'elKoth in Heroes Die
Tear Jerker: A couple in Heroes Die, as ubiquitous as the philosophizing in Blade of Tyshalle, if not moreso.
Unfortunate Implications: If you are a homosexual or into BDSM you are probably a Complete Monster or evil in some way.
- Furthermore, female badasses often asking themselves "What would Caine do?"
