Added DiffLines:

* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first book differs in many ways from the rest of the series, which is comparatively LighterAndSofter.
** 'Be Sure' was not yet a prominent door feature.
** Multiple characters die rather shocking deaths. [[spoiler: Including Sumi, who is magically restored in a later book.]]
** It's heavily implied that almost no one can ever return to their worlds after being cast out [[spoiler: which makes Nancy's success much more joyful as it's not expected. By later books, it's taken for granted that most of them will go 'home' at some point.]]
** The 'no quests' rule: while it's mentioned in later books, it's more for irony than anything else as quests soon become common.

Added DiffLines:

* OtherworldlyTechnicolourHair: Cora transforms into a mermaid when she gets TrappedInAnotherWorld; though she becomes human again upon returning to Earth, her hair remains blue-green as a sign that she "wears her scales on the inside now".
