Evil Is Sexy TRS; this has become an objective, in-universe trope.


* EvilIsSexy: Many of the more important villains -- such as Dorothea, Hekatah, and Kartane -- are introduced as being relatively good-looking. [[spoiler:None of them remain that way, however.]]

*CompleteMonster: [[EvilSorcerer Hekatah SaDiablo]], the BigBad of the original trilogy, is one of the Demon-Dead who gleefully kills others for their blood, [[ChildEater children included]]. Once the wife of High Lord Saetan, Hekatah attempted to manipulate him by using their newborn child as a bargaining chip, eventually having [[OffingTheOffspring her baby killed and dismembered]] before later starting a war and initiating [[FinalSolution purges of the Blood across the lands]]. In the modern day, Hekatah assists Dorothea of Hayll with her tyranny, having many raped, killed or slaughtered as she kills many people to start a new war, dedicated only to her power at the expense of all others.

** Although, [[spoiler: Jaenelle Saetien]]comes close.
* CompleteMonster: This series features a lot of these, with just about every scene featuring them involving either rape or torture.
** Or, y'know, both. Case in point, that creepy scene in Daughter of the Blood where Zuultah doses Lucivar with safframate...and generally does horrible violent and sexual things to him.

* CrowningMomentOfFunny : "Your children are having a wonderful time. Come and get them."
** All the books are chock full of these and it would take fifty pages or more to list them out. Combined with the violence and horror of some scenes, it's easy to accuse the series of MoodWhiplash, but the scary scenes and the funny scenes are spaced out enough for the reader to better acclimate to the change in mood.

* TearJerker: there are some truly heartwrenching moments throughout the series, including but not limited to [[spoiler: Jaenelle's rape, Daemon's slide into the Twisted Kingdom, the massacre of the unicorns, and Jaenelle's supposed death.]]
** Most recently in ''The Shadow Queen'', there's [[spoiler: Saetan's own (temporary) fall into the Twisted Kingdom and his explanation to his son Daemon about what caused it. "It could have been you."]]
** From the short story about Zuulaman in ''Dreams Made Flesh'': [[spoiler: What happens to Saetan's third son. "Look, Andulvar. Look what they did to my baby. Look."]]
