** Case in point is Lola. After testing Hawthorne stakes, silver, and garlic/wolfsbane on Vampires and finding them lethal, the pirates try to kill Lola with a sword infused with all three elements. Stabbing her once doesn't work. Stabbing her twice doesn't work either. [[No Kill Like Overkill|so they decapitate her]]. {{spoiler|[[No Sell]]}}. |

* [[Remember the New Guy]]: Jez Stukeley is never even ''mentioned'' in the first book, yet in the second book, Connor considers him one of his best friends. |

* [[Schizo Tech]]: As mentioned above, there are cars, but no ranged weapons at all, which is just stupid considering the degree to piracy is formalized, and the resources that prominent pirates should have. Additionally, no boats use motors even though they exist. Melee combat is the preferred method of naval battle--no cannons or anything. Current fashion also seems to be all over the place. |

* [[Sliding Scale of Idealism Versus Cynicism]]: Extremely idealistic, despite being rather dark at times and rather cavalier about violence. The villains are capable of love and tend to be reasonable and even compassionate towards the protagonists later on in the series, despite being murderous sociopaths who have murdered the heroes' loved ones. The pirates, for their part, are ridiculously willing to give the pirates the benefit of the doubt or chat them up, even in the middle of pitched battles. |

** The view of piracy becomes gradually more cynical as the series progresses, because almost all of them end up being legitimately murderous, unlawful, or backstabbing. However, the pirates themselves get teary eyed over how honorable their profession is, so its a bit of an odd example. |
