* LaterInstallmentWeirdness: In terms of perspective. Unlike the first book, almost exclusively from Mary's perspective, and the second one, in which perspective was consistent within a chapter before switching, the perspective switches between characters far more frequently in SMMG than either of the other books, sometimes multiple times within a chapter. SMMG is also the only book to feature Lucinda's point of view (or her commenting on the narrative like the other Athena Club members have been doing the whole time), Alice's point of view (other than the last page of ETMG), and Ayesha's point of view.

* VillainDecay: The Alchemical Society was a GreaterScopeVillain in the first book. Van Helsing's faction was the main threat in the second book, while Ayesha and the establishment members of the Alchemical Society were more neutral. Since Van Helsing and his forces were defeated and Seward went on to the Order of the Golden Dawn, the Alchemical Society is not a threat at all in this book.
