** During the final fight with Richard, Alex and Richard trade verbal shivs as they are want to do and this time Alex isn't cowed by Richard's antics. What makes this funny is he proceeds to give Richard a run down on the status of his Apprentices to date, and finishes this off by telling him, "You're worse than a dark mage, you are a bad teacher!" This actually offends Richard who has to date only shown emotion when Alex ruined his plans two books prior in ''Fallen''.

* A darkly humorous moment in ''Fallen''. One of Onyx' house slaves tries to snitch on Alex and he knocks her out before she can alert the Dark mages to his presence. After he comes out of the Fateweaver's Tomb and kills Onyx and his entire sorry excuse for a cabal, he comes across the slave again, who runs around screaming at the top of her lungs for someone to come kill Alex. Her yells then turn into shrieks when she notices all the corpses strewn about.
