Cloning Blues renamed to Clone Angst as per TRS, specifically about angst from a character discovering that they're a clone.


* CloningBlues: [[spoiler:It's revealed that Beta was created using genetic material from the original Alizabeth Bequin (though she is technically not a clone as their genes are not identical). However, the trope is largely averted since Beta has far more pressing things to worry about.]]
** [[spoiler:In ''Penitent'', things get worse: Beta discovers she’s not just a clone, she’s the latest in a whole ''line'' of Bequin clones, and it seems likely that every student in the Maze Undue is a part of a similar clone lineage. Also, they all end up serving the King in Yellow as one of the Eight.]]

Added DiffLines:

* SinEater: On the world of Queen Mab, individuals convicted of great sacrilege by the Ecclesiarchy become Curst, people sentenced to lifelong public slavery with the description of their sin tattooed on their bodies. As part of their penance, a Curst can take on the sins and crimes of others, adding to their tattoos. This is considered a redemptive act of selflessness, but it also means especially fanatical or desperate Curst can double as unpaid mercenaries — if you want to murder someone, you ask a Curst to burden themselves with that crime, taking the sin, its guilt, and its consequences on themselves to spare you from it. The greater the original sin, the more additional sins a Curst will end up taking on to redeem themselves; prolific Curst can have up to a dozen. Or if you're Renner Lightburn, you can end up with thousands.

* HiddenVillain: The King in Yellow is a complete mystery. Nobody knows who he is or what he wants, and he makes no physical appearances in the trilogy’s first two books. The one thing his various enemies know for sure is that whatever he's planning will affect the whole galaxy for good or ill. Beta spends much of the second book trying to learn the King's identity, and finally discovers his name: [[spoiler:Constantin Valdor]].

* PoorCommunicationKills: An example of poorly ''interpreting'' what was said. In the house of Alace Qatorze, Beta hears creepy childish laughter, something she learned to associate with the Blackwards Dolls. When Beta pointedly asks Alace if there are children in the house, her nervousness and despseration cause Alace to ignore the obvious meaning and think that Beta somehow found out her secret. [[spoiler: Alace gives in and takes them to Teke, the Emperor's Children Chaos Space Marine, which made the situation even worse.]]

Not So Different has been renamed, and it needs to be dewicked/moved


* NotSoDifferent: After having repeatedly reflected with disdain on Eisenhorn and Ravenor's willingness to sacrifice the lives of the people who follow them, [[spoiler:Beta sends Comus into a battle he is likely to lose against Cherubael so that she and Patience can continue with her plan. She immediately acknowledges it, miserably noting that she has "all the makings of a true Inquisitor."]]
