The Stoneheart Trilogy: Difference between revisions

Now that George has disturbed the fragile truce between the warring statues of London, he is forced into a race for survival where nothing is what it seems, and it's never clear [[Friend or Foe|whom to trust]].

 

 

Has a [[The Stoneheart Trilogy/Characters|character sheet]].

 

* {{spoiler|[[Always Save the Girl]]: The Gunner risks breaking his oath to the Walker in order to rescue Edie from the Minotaur by saving one last bullet in spite of promising to fight the Minotaur weaponless.}}

* {{spoiler|[[Breaking the Fellowship]]: In the end of ''Stoneheart'', the Gunner is taken by the Walker, leaving George and Edie to rescue him.}}

* [[Dean Bitterman]] / [[Sadist Teacher]]: Killingbeck. Just his ''[[Meaningful Name|name]]'' pretty much sums him up.

* [[Disappeared Dad]]: George's father. Also, Edie's father. {{spoiler|In the third book, they're revealed to be the [[Long-Lost Relative|half-siblings]]}}

* [[Don't You Dare Pity Me!]]: Edie has this emotion strongly enough to [[Armor-Piercing Slap|slap]] George when he tries to apologize to her.

{{quote|'''George:''' Look, I'm sorry— [''gets slapped by Edie''] What the... Why did you...?

* [[Fish Out of Water]] / [[Naive Newcomer]]: George.

* {{spoiler|[[I Choose to Stay]]: In the end of ''Stoneheart'', George chooses to not return the dragon head and instead stay in the "un-London" where living statues can be seen so that Edie won't be alone.}}

* [[Invisible to Normals]]: The living statues -- the spits and taints. Oh, and the Walker.

* [[Ironic Echo]]:

'''Edie:''' It's 'we' now, is it? }}

* [[Kid Hero]]: George and Edie.

* [[The Mentor]]: The Gunner towards George and later Edie.

* [[Nakama]]: Slowly but ever surely George, Edie, and the Gunner are forming this.

* [[One-Gender School]]: George goes to an all-boys' school.

* [[Sadistic Choice]]: {{spoiler|The Walker}}'s deal to {{spoiler|the Gunner}} -- go into battle with no weapons at all... or sealing {{spoiler|Edie}} to a terrible fate.

{{quote|'''{{spoiler|The Walker}}:''' {{spoiler|Give me the weapon or the bullets, or by the name of the hand that made you I will let the Bull do what he will with the girl-child--boy or no boy!}}}}

* [[Say My Name]]:

{{quote|'''George:''' EDIE!}}

* [[Sequel Hook]]

* [[Ship Tease]]: It's difficult to say because there is no pairing in the first book, but [[Boy Meets Girl|George and Edie]] can easily be paired up because they're both [[Puppy Love|twelve]]. Even one of the Sphinx lampshades this.

{{quote|'''Sphinx:''' Then you won't get an answer; and you can go away and take your glint with you.

* [[Shout-Out]]: In a memory recollected by George, his father had belched following a meal and said, [[Shrek|"Better out than in."]]

* [[When You Coming Home, Dad?]]: George's mother.

 

* [[Cliff Hanger]]

* [[Sequel Hook]]

* [[You Can't Fight Fate]]: Played Straight with {{spoiler|Edie's death}}.

{{quote|{{smallcaps| "You can't change the past, even if it hasn't happened yet"}}}}

 

* [[Disney Villain Death]]: Tragically subverted with Edie's mother as she was not a villain in any way. In an attempt to save her daughter from [[Complete Monster|The]] [[Big Bad|Walker]], she throws herself at him, causing both of them to fall off the roof of a tall building. {{spoiler|While The Walker survives the fall due to his [[Immortality]], Edie's mother falls to her death}}.

* [[Hellish Horse]]: the Night Mare
