* KryptoniteIsEverywhere: Toby's ability to "ride" the blood of the recently deceased to access their recent memories ''should,'' in theory, answer Whodunnit quickly every time, if not necessarily why. Of course, frequently this doesn't work for one reason or another - the blood might be wiped clean of memories, or the memory might be edited somehow, or the victim might have been prevented from seeing their attacker, and so on.

* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: [[spoiler: Quentin's parents]] the High King and Queen. While they make some blunders, such as [[spoiler: confirming the regency of the False Queen]], they are surprisingly down-to-earth and very much against the anti-changeling bigotry common in faerie. [[spoiler: Unsurprising, given that the High Queen started out as a changeling, though she was changed to be a pureblood using a hope chest.]] They do their best to provide an upbringing for their son that will teach him better than those prejudices.
