* Briar's character can be Fridge Sadness if one read the series while young and then [[OhCrap reads it again as an adult.]] He acts a LOT older than his foster-sisters thanks to his street-orphan upbringing, and it is often hard to remember that in the original Circle series, [[TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior he's TEN YEARS OLD.]] Rosethorn mentions to him that when she was growing up, her village got raided and her best friend got gang-raped, and his only response is a resigned frown and how he hoped that ''she'' didn't get raped as well.

* Kugisko genuinely needs firefighters, because almost all of the city is built from wood. But after [[spoiler:the man who introduced firefighting to the city and trained its firefighters was discovered to be a serial arsonist and mass murderer]], it's likely that firefighting in general will soon become a thing of the past in Kugisko- for one, [[spoiler:there's no one to lead the brigades and train the firefighters, and for two, the taint of being associated with Ben will likely rub off onto firefighting as a whole.]]
