* NoEndorHolocaust: Averted near the end of ''The Bronzed Beasts''. [[spoiler:When the Unmaking begins, Forged objects start falling apart everywhere, risking a societal collapse due to how much of current society relies on forgery. When Laila gets control of it, however, she changes it to a gradual process with the oldest Forged objects going first, giving society plenty of time to adjust as Forging fades away.]]

* MajoredInWesternHypocrisy: It's not so much the hypocrisy part of it, but several of the main cast are from the Global South (in this period mostly colonised by various European empires) and studying various disciplines in Europe: Laila's from [[UsefulNotes/TheRaj British-colonial India]] at a time when few Indians (let alone women) would have the opportunity to study abroad, and Enrique is actually a Filipino ''ilustrado'' (intellectual), involved with other compatriots in Europe campaigning for expanded rights from the Spanish colonisers, as happened in RealLife. Séverin, meanwhile, has Algerian ancestry, whilst Hypnos has Haitian (and thus African slave) ancestry; in other words both of them have bloodlines rooted in French colonies.
