Line 36:
* [[BFS]]: It's not mentioned much, {{spoiler|as both are shapeshifting magic weapons}}, but both Curoch and Retribution are called such. Curoch in particular, being impressive to a [[Proud Warrior Race Guy|Khalidorian Highlander]] who gets his hands on it without knowing what it is.
* [[Black and Grey Morality]]
* [[Brother
* [[Brown Eyes]]: Essentially, part Doll Girl's namesake (a doll-like face) and most endearing feature. This carries on {{spoiler|when she grows into a woman, AKA Elene.}}
* [[Calling the Old Man Out]]: Durzo teaches Kylar a philosophy of detachment, cynicism, callousness, and apathy - "love is weakness", and so forth. As time goes on, however, Kylar becomes increasingly willing to reject this doctrine.
Line 43:
{{quote| "You know why assassins have 'targets'? 'Cause assassins sometimes miss."}}
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: One of the first things Logan says as Kylar's friend is about how a story about Ka'Karis interested him. Guess what one of the main plot devices is?
* [[Cluster F
{{quote| Niner, "You're...you're shit! You shitting, shitting shit!"<br />
Durzo, "Your Majesty, a man of your stature's cursing vocabulary ought to extend beyond a tedious repetition of the excreta that fills the void between his ears." }}
Line 57:
* [[Fantasy Counterpart Culture]]: Ceura seems to draw on (but not be identical to) medieval Japan, though with the standard medieval European setting as a base. Likewise with Ymmur and the Mongols, and Khalidor and parts of Ancient Egypt and Ancient Middle East.
* [[A Fate Worse Than Death]]: If Logan or Kylar, ''ever'' find {{spoiler|Trudana Jadwin}}. They are going to things that would make [[Complete Monster|Hu Gibbet]] squeamish.
* [[Father, I Want to Marry My Brother]]: Ulyssandra in the second book. D'awwwww.
* [[Fiery Redhead]]: Viridiana.
* [[Foe Yay]]: Rat {{spoiler|AKA Roth}} and Kylar. It's canon that Rat wanted to engage in hatesex with Kylar to show his dominance. Rat also kept hassling Kylar and attempting to get Kylar to become part of his harem. Kylar's first kiss was also with him (albeit all part of a plot to "seduce" Rat and kill him). It's interesting to note that many, many years later, {{spoiler|Rat tells Kylar that he never believed Kylar died, and he was constantly thinking of him and how he wished to get revenge on him}}.
Line 94:
* [[Lost Technology]]: Ezra the Mad created a lot of magical versions of this (including most of the ka'kari).
** {{spoiler|Feir rediscovers a lost method to reforge broken mistarille swords in order to make a 'fake' Ceur'Caelestos.}}
* [[Luke, I Am Your Father]]: The Godking does this to Kylar and Vi. The first is just to screw with his mind, while the second might be true - but {{spoiler|it doesn't stop her killing him}} at the end of the second book.
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: [[A God Am I|Godking]] [[Complete Monster|Ursuul]].
* [[A Man Is Not a Virgin]]: Subverted with poor Kylar, who despises his virginity on.
Line 139:
** In one instance {{spoiler|where Vi and Kylar infiltrate the Godking's castle, they find one room where the furniture is made from stuffed dead women.}}
* [[X Marks the Hero]]: Possibly the bane of {{spoiler|Elene's}} existence is her set of {{spoiler|scars from Rat beating her, partially consisting of a large X on her cheek, and a smaller x on her bottom lip.}}
* [[You Can't Fight Fate]]: Possibly. When Kylar learns that {{spoiler|Elene}} is going to die (see under Immortality), he tries to say [[Screw Destiny]], but it doesn't work. This might be fate, but some people might argue [[Self
{{reflist}}
