!!''A Son of a Witch'' provides examples of:
* BiTheWay: Liir.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: One particular example [[spoiler:said by Trism to Liir]]: "Are you just slow, or [[spoiler:are you falling in love with me?"]]
* TheLostLenore: Even years later, Glinda breaks down in tears when reminded of her "Elphie".
* ShipTease: At the end of ''Son of a Witch'', Liir is separated from both of his love interests, [[spoiler: Trism and Candle]], but only due to circumstances - he's open to a relationship with either. The third book is entirely silent on the matter, as they don't appear, though the family tree at the beginning shows relationships out of wedlock to both of them. The fourth book would appear to finally resolve the matter, with [[spoiler: Liir married to Candle, and Trism assumed to have betrayed the both of them]]. But by the end of the book, [[spoiler: Candle has left Liir indefinitely, and while his reunion with Trism was fraught with argument, it was also heavy in UnresolvedSexualTension, revealing that their attraction hasn't faded. The book ends with Liir alone, stating that his door is open to either of them should they choose to come back.]] Since this leaves open any option a fan prefers, including a OneTrueThreesome, it can come off as fanfic baiting.
* TimeSkip: ''Son of a Witch'' starts out with Liir still a child only a little older than he was in Wicked, but quickly skips to his early-to-mid twenties.
* WhamLine: At the end of ''Son of a Witch'': [[spoiler: "He took her to the doorway and held her up in the warm rain. She cleaned up green."]] Notably (and frustratingly), this is ''the very last line in the book.''
* YaoiGuys: In the second book [[spoiler: Liir and Trism.]]
